RACING

GOSSIP FROM ALL PARTS Tli« racing- aurrace at Paeroa Is m •plen'lid order Tor the spring- meeting- or tile Ohlnemuri Jockey Club over tbe week-end and, providing heavy rain is not experienced in the interim, the club •hould enjoy a most successful llxture. Starter Appointed Mr C. Clarkln. of Hamilton, has been appointed to omciate as starter to in** Stratford Racing C-tub for the current season. The club races on October 18 and Januaiy l and 2. May Be Divided Owing to the number of acceptors in the Maiden Handicap at Paeroa exceeding the safety limit of 26 by three, pro vision has had to be made to run the raca In divisions. Working Well Or el to ha* been working pleadingly a 1 Takan.nl and the other morning indicate*’ an early return to form by the manner n which he accounted Tor Arvakur over flve furlongs In 1.5 5-5 To Resume Riding After an abseiu-e of nearlv 18 months from the -addle, \V. H. Jones will resume riding at the Ohlnemurl meeting, wher.j on the second day hi* iii -unts will pro bably Include Kuurcrtfl. Veralum at Avondale veraiuin. who at his two initial <way? won on either day or the recent Taranaki Hunt gathering, ha* been transferred from H. Gray’s team to her owner, at Avondale. Small Boy .-mail Hoy, who since the Avondale meeting was transferred to the care nt l). J. Burgess at Takanlni, is top-weigh’ for the Kopuarahi Hurdles on the first day at Paeroa. and despite hi- solid poundage should account for more than beat him. To Rapa Representatives Te Rapa representation on the first day Of the Ohlnemurl meeting include* Acute, Laughing Fox, Forest Bridge. Midland. Gappy. Ktceier.i. Gael, Young Paddon. Tooley street. Karatokl. '••.hi <pot. Rare line. Sunny Down*. Allegretto. Loruacrc Olympu* aiid .\gawlrl. May Make Amends Joan peel will have an opportunity on Saturday in th«* Plpiroa Hack Cup to make amend* for her di*reat#at the hand* "• Don Ouex on the first day or the recent Avondale gathering. she appeared to be winning easily on that occasion until Don Quex na-!i**d up to shade her by a neck on the post. Widen For Paeroa Hasting- reports credit Willett wirn being a greatly-improved gelding since he w-on at Rlccarton and he appeals a- n Hjrtvt-weight possibility for steeplechase honours at Paeroa this week. On Saturday at Hastings be was schooled over a round of the steeplechase country ami accomplished his task in dashing style. Racedn« Though he railed to show to advantage at Avondale recently, Raceline should not be too readily discarded In the Poland Cup this week. After winning wen over a middle distance at Rotorua at the close or ia*t season, he was unlucky to go under narrowly to Aoble Fox in the Hal combe Memorial (9 fuTlongs; at New Plymouth Should bo Improved w Olympus should be all the better ro racing on Jhe latter day at Avondale recently and mav be seen to better .advantage among the sprinters at Paeroa tm* week. some useful sprint talent has accepted for the Flying Handicap, but with the handy Impost or 7.8 Olympus wi.i have every opportunity to give or hi* best. Deceptive Track Worker Lorriacre is a deceptive worker and it Is difficult to assess from his time? on galloping inoinlngs the full extent oi Ins forwardness. However, he t* bearing a solid and healthy appearance and iff; will disappoint ir he rails t<» go a good race among the Paeroa sprinters tmweek. May Improve Hunting Bee gave a meritorious performance on the latter day of Avondale flni-hhig on from n long way back to run MHanlon t-< a length. It was a line effort and one on which she should -soon tm prove. Hunting Bee Is an acceptor u»' noth the Hack Cup and Poland Cup and m whichever -lie starts will have to be conceded good prospects. Looks the Part The convincing nature of Midland 3 achlev ornervt in winning the kingslami Hurdles on the first day at Avondale will en-ure him an optimistic following In hurdle events at the approaching Ohtne mun meeting at Paeroa. When he won • nri that occasion at Avondale he did so i like a real racehorse and. produced in similar Tettle on Saturday, hr should take a power of beating. Young Paddon Young Taddon Is invariably an outstanding track performer and since racing unsuccessfully in the JeHß'oe Handicap ai the Pakuranga Hunt he has been clocking consistently good gallop* at headquarter? Tt t- doubtful whether Young Paddon wa* ever better than he rs at present and lie will have to be taken into con-ideration In the summing up of N'gatea Handicap prospects for Paeroa this week. Laughing Fox l aughing Fox. the half-brother to ¥tar Artist, by Foxbridge. has been making good progress in his preparation at Te Rapa and he is to commence his threecareer among the maidens ar Parma this week-end. Laughing Fox was only lightly raced last season, being produced only on two occasions. He has furnl*hed Into a stylish-looking gelding and tt will be Interesting to note how he shapes on Saturday. He Is one of Mrs R. T. Reid’s stable.

Credential* of Foxmond Foxmond’s running on the Tatter day nr the Avondale gathering pointed to her making early amends, and this should not be overlooked at Paeroa over the week end. In the President’s Handicap at Avondale she had her chance effectively settled at the start through losing considerable ground, yet she nntehed on for a rood rountb. It looked, at the time that with an even dl*patch she mav have carried the day. At Paeroa she Is an acceptor for the seven-furlong N'gatea Handicap and she should not lack a follow - ing on the machines.
