This six-year-old daughter Of Royal Divorce is at her best under winter conditions, and recently she was a winner over seven furlongs at Hawera, though between her latest stresses she was beaten out of a CUVldenf at Foxton. She has done aU her racin" in the colours of Mr. G. A, .Downs, of Waverley, for whom she is now trained at Waverley by G. A. RNottunv after losing ground at the start was finishing .on fairly well a couple of lengths, away. .V Tonnerre joined Ben Braggie early, but was tiring when he ran wide entering, the Straight.
