FORM AT FOXTON.
PROMISING HORSES IN MAIDEN RACE. (By “Binocular ”) Arauline displayed a lot of speed for a time in the Maiden Stakes at Foxton, but failed to see the journey out. First View lost a lot of ground when the barrier lifted in the maiden event, but finished very nicely to fill the sixth place. Maypay has a- long way to go to attain the standard of her brother, Autopay, but the Paper Money filly ran a very fair race at Foxton and she may yet come right. Wyndalc, a three-year-old filly by Rossendale from Kilbreeze, was promising to play a part in the finish of the second division of the Maiden Stakes, but her rider lost an iron at the foot of the straight and she did well to finish fifth. Palm Queen, the full-sister to Ruanui and the half-sister to The Thorn, Roseneath and Roseglow, the latter pair being good winners in Australia, finished fairly well in the Maiden Stakes, but might have been bettor served by a stronger rider. Raparahara, who finished fourth in the Maiden Stakes, was originally trained by Kis part owner, Mr W. T. Bailey* at Awapuni. By Lackham from the Elysian mare Truney, Raparahara ran in Mr W. H. Brothstone’s colours, being now trained by W. M. Bennett at Woodville. Zetes, for whom Mr V. E. Riddiford gave the record figure of 2400gns, registered a promising enough effort in tho Maiden Stakes when he cam© from tho rear to finish sixth. A big type of horse, he will be better served in all probability on his home track at Trentham and he may yet return some of his purchase money. Unsoundness has prevented him racing earlier. Beryl Latour has attended southern meetings quite frequently without any great measure of success. The General Latour mare, who was promoted to the open company at Foxton and acted as pacemaker for the major portion of the journey in the Robinson Handicap, was not altogether disgraced when she weakened to finish fifth. The Palmerston North sportsman, Mr C. T. Keeble, had two youngsters carrying his colours in the Two-year-Old Handicap, and although they were well beaten, he must have been satisfied at their showing, for they have not had the experience of the majority of the others. They finished together in fourth and fifth places, « and although Voitre was on Brown Betty, Golden Wings’s brother, with G. J. Jones in the saddle, beat the filly home. Gold Ruler, who is a commanding type of horse by Chief Ruler—Tigeroy, drew an inside position at the barrier in the Carnarvon Hack Handicap, but he did not begin well enough in a scrambling start to gain a good position. He was lying ninth as the field came across the top and did well to finish in fourth place under the circumstances. The Peach Brandy—All Cerise gelding, All Spirit, did not find his feet quick enough to be with his field in the early stages. of the Herrington Hack Handicap and as they turned into tho straight the chestnut was at the tail of the field. He came through very fast and was only three-quart-ers of a length behind the winner at the post. It was a meritorious performance and indicates better things in the neai future. NOT HIS DEBUT. HIGH SOCIETY AS A HURDLER. The majority of patrons at Foxton on Saturday were no doubt under the impression that High Society, the winner of the Poroutawhao Hurdles, was making his debut in tile'role when he paraded for tho jumping event. However, such was not the case, but in view of the fact that the Lord Quex gelding had not filled the role since 1930. one could be forgiven for overlooking the'fact. Further, that was before he came to Awapuni and passed into the hands of L. Knapp, who has evidenced on many occasions that he is a pastmaster at developing a jumper. In those days he was owned by the Woodville sportsman, Mr R. Bly, and it was at Otaki m June, 1930, that High Society made his debut as a jumper. The easy nature of the fences, and the fact that two battens are placed in the straight and two in close proximity along the back straight, make the Otaki jumping events very popular with trainers who have horses which they are developing in the role, and it was probably due to that very reason that High Society figured as a competitor there over three years ago. However, tho chestnut failed to gam a place either-day, while he again failed on the opening day of tho Hawke’s Bay meeting a fortnight later. However, he showed an improvement when he ran second to the Wormwood gelding Rakauponga,' who wound up the season with three successive wins over the battens, on the second day. Going on to the Napier Park meeting a week later High Society ran third to Llyn Du, a proved hurdler, and Deluge and then attended the former home when he was again, the victor on the second day The Lord Quex gelding was then turned out by his owner and the succeeding season had passed before he made a reappearance under silk, having been leased by the 1 almerston North sportsman, Mr G. Brown, in the interim. Mr Brown originally raced Red Bank with a good deal of success and
it was only natural that the new arrival should pass into the chargo of L. Knapp, who had prepared _ the _ All Red —Willowbank gelding for his original owner. Mr Brown is a lover of jumpers and it was with the intention of furthering High Society’s education in that uirection that he secured him from Mr Bly. For a period High Society was kept at flat racing and Saturday marked his first essay in the role of hurdler for his present owner. It was a very successful debut and the manner in which he scored made ifc_ apparent that more successes will come his way. While he may not be a finished exponent as yet, he is of a type which should make good for he has plenty of bone and is of a physique which should enable him to carry substantial poundages: C. Thomson, his pilot of Saturday, did the stable riding for Knapp after the departure of R. O. Miles last season, and his association has been a particularly happy one, Callamart having given the horseman his first Groat Northern Hurdles win at his initial essay. When High Society was a two-year-old, Air Bly approached the writer with a request for a suitable name for the Lord Quex Circle Lady gelding during the progress of a Woodville fixture. “Binocular” invited a name from each member of the Press gallery and the selected one was that supplied by “Early Bird,” who was then on the stall' of the Auckland Sun, but who is well known to racegoers as Mr A. .Ironson, judge and handicapper. BREEDERS’ PLATE WINNER WAS CHEAP. Fashion Star, tho winner of the A.J.C. Breeders’ Plate at Randwick on Monday, is a bay colt by Troclaro from Debonair by Linacre from Debotion by Maltster from Lovelorn by Grayton-Lovelock by Lochiell. He was bred by Messrs A. E. Thomson and Sons, Bylong Station, Rylestone, N.S.W., and was sold for only 70 gns. at the Sydney sales. Treclare, who is by Trendennis, also sired the third colt, St. Globe, who is out of Alma Mater by Almissa —Zenina by Goidsborough. Like the winner he was bred by tho Messrs Thompson, St. Globe belongs to the same family as David and Poeinatus. As in the case also of Fashion Star he was secured cheaply, costing only 60gn6. JOCKEY'S SUSPENSION. APPEAL SUCCESSFUL. Tho appeal of jockey R. W. MoTavish against his three months’ suspension by the Wanganui Jockey Club on September 22 was upheld by the Wanganui District Committee yesterday. The suspension was imposed by the judicial committee of the club following upon an inquiry instituted by the chief stipendiary steward, Mr L. Gower, into the running of Cherry King in the Putiki Hack Race. WAVERLEY MEETING. NOMINATIONS RECEIVED.
