A SMART THREE-YEAR-OLD.

PINK COAT FOR G.X. GUINEAS. (By Telegraph.—Special to " Star.") CHKISTCHURCH, tins clay. The outstanding performance of the Ashburton meeting on Saturday was tlic win of Pink Coat in the Farewell Handicap. He began smartly, and made all tlie running to the straight, where Flair joined him. It looked as if the pair would provide an interesting finish, as Flair seemed to be going particularly well. It was soon apparent, however, that Pink Coat had a lot in reserve. C. Emerson sat down to ride him, and the South Canterbury colt responded in great style, beating Flair with ridiculous ease, while the others were, strung out. It was the performance of n high-clas-s three-yoar-old. Flair's trainer had ideas before this • -ace of a trip to Auckland for the Great Northern Guinea?, but the ea*o with which Pink Coat beat the filly when conceding her 271b will cause a revision of plan?.. Pink Coat was one of the best of last sea sou's two-year-olds, and he looks now ns if h? will develop into a grand thiee-ycnr-old, who will keep his'opponents very busy in the classics. He is likely to be seen at Ellerslie next month for the Great Northern Guinea?, and Aucklanders will bo impressed, as there is a lot about him to admire.
