TROTTING SENSATION AT AUCKLAND
m ■ — Worthy Gold, who was likely to liave been oue of tlie favourites for the Farewell Handicap at the Auckland Trots, is believed to have beei>J'got at" the previous uight, witli thc;j5su^ that he was in a very bad conditio'n on Saturday morning, and at one stage ap* peared likely to die. Vetel'inary advice was sought imniediatelv the discovery was made, and Worthy Gold apjieared to be a" little better later iu the day, although he had no chancc of fallcing 'his place in the field. He did an cxcellcnt trial run on Friday afternoon, and the Southern horseiiiun, A. Holmes, who drove Local Gold to victory on Saturday, was somewhat confident -of taking the double. Somecne else, however, apparently- had other ideas, tliere" being little doubt that the four-yeaf-old son of Gold Bar was doped. ■ « * : - ' • - - ■ . ,
