RACING NEWS & VIEWS

Bred For Speed The Auckland sportsman, Mr L. Bell, has sent his Ninth Duke—Philvaals gelding to Fred Gilchrist’s stable at Otahuhu. His dam was brilliantly fast, and he is reported as likely to-be a speedy galloper. Still Speedy Auckland’s best miler, Sleepy Fox, in full work at Takanini, is still exhibiting brilliancy on the training tracks. He will be raced at Ellerslie during the Mitchelson Cup fixture. For Australia The New Plymouth trainer, R. Johnson, is arranging to take Belle Zorra and Brown Derby over to Australia for spring racing. They must bje executing fast track work, as Johnson is one of the last to make such a trip with merely moderate candidates. Change in" Ownership The Christchurch candidate, Penetrate, has been sold by Mr W. Toon to Mr L. Lambourn of, Lower Hutt, but the new purchase is to remain at Riccarton-probably on account of the Trentham course being in course of repair and alteration. For the Cambridge Meeting The Wanganui jumpers are at present working solidly in view of the Labour Day meeting at Cambridge. They are reported to be working the reverse way, but there is no need for this as both courses are left-handed.
