A Surprise Stayer Spare Part, convincing winner of the Wellington Cup, is by,. Salmagundi from Mei Tui, by Tractor, a son of The Tetrarch. He is bred more on speed lines than those of a stayer, but went out to emulate the deeds of the Melbourne Cup victor, Hiraji, whose pedigree also goes back on the maternal side to The Tetrarch. May Strike Form Although among the “also ran” section in the President’s Handicap at Te Aroha, Swift Quarry, now trained at Takanini by G. Cameron, has been executing fast work on the tracks. Just before the Te Aroha fixture the Foxbridge gelding was galloping six furlongs, with the poles out 10ft. in 1.14, so should soon be striking form. With The Colours Up The Australian visitor, Silver Link, was among the starters in the Wellington Telegraph Handicap, and ran a fair race for a stayer. He is to contest the Dunedin Centennial Cup next month. Getting Ready Although the steeplechase season is yet some time away, winter performers are already being put into work in view of jumping contests. One of the most recent to be recommissioned is Kilmanagh at Ellerslie. The Maximum Weight The maximum weight of 9.12 has been fixed for the Dunedin Centennial Cup of £4200.
