Pedantic is to run in the Trentham Hurdles next month. He has stood up to his racing remarkably well and should be a payable proposition to follow at Trentham. . Cooraclare will resume racing at Manawatu tomorrow after a spall. He gives the imjfression of having gone through a good preparation.

Larkin, an ex-Otaki boy-, was private trainer to the late Mr. C. W. Merrylees, Dannevirke.

Larkin has had some indueement to establish his stables at Otaki, but will remain at Woodville where he has exceptionally good training quarters. The star of the stable is Desert Sand. Larkin has this smart youngster, m excellent fettle and expects to do well with him this season. - ♦!«
