RINGING IN. PERTH, June 15. A sensation was caused in sporting circles by the announcement that a prominent New Zealand trotting mare, had been rung-in in the Eastern States and in Westralia. It is alleged the mare was landed in West Australia last year under the name Gathered Gold. The mare lost the first race by being pulled from one side of the track to the other but won the second so easily that the stewards disqualified her and her nominator for two years, for not having tried the first time. The mare was sold for £SO sterling and the vendors left the State. Trotting officials became suspicious and instituted enquiries and kept the horse in a private stable. A recent arrival from New Zealand recognised the horse as scon as he saw her. It is alleged she won races in other States under another name and that the New South Wales Trotting Asociation will take action for alleged ringing in. Tt is reported the New South Wales Association refused registration after -the mare's arrival from New Zealand. She then raced in the country districts under another name, subsequently racing in Victoria and New South Wales as Gathered Gold.
