If Desert Gold has sufficiently recovered to enable her to. take part in the Trentham Gold Cu.p, she will be ridden in that event by B. Ueeley, who has been engaged for the mare d'or 1 some time. This will give the -Auckland horseman tho honour of having ridden the .three cracks of modem .times, Desert Gold, Biplane, and Gloaming, . Sasanof is spoken of as an unlikely starter in the Thompson Handicap, but all going well lie will fulfil his engagement in the Trentham Gold Cup.
