Seldom running a bad race, Logan Derby, winner of the inter-Dominion championship at Perth in February, added to his reputation at the recent Dcloraine meeting by nutting up a new Tasmanian record. Starting from 144 yards in a 3.36 class, the wonderful little pacer’s gross time was 3.25 1-5, which, under the system of 12 yards to the second, works out at 3.13 1-5, a mile rate of 2.8 4-5. Globe Derby has sired some great racehorses, but for consistency, courage and ability over all distances Logan Derby would bo hard to beat. Full of Scotch at Egmont. Full of Soctch is attracting attention among the hurdlers for he may be among the early favourites for the Great Northern Steeplechase. In the season before last h’c ran 1 up a string of successes. After three very easy wins at the Great Northern meeting, he won the Trentham Hurdles with 10.2 and ran second with 10.11 to Courtyard (with 10.2) in the Winter Hurdles. Full of Scotch failed to strike form last season in seven starts. Recently, however, he returned to form to win the Manawaru Hurdles at Te Aroha ,with 10.6. Enjoyment’s Entry. The entry of the young Whangarei jumper Enjoyment for the steeplechase events at F.gmont in preference to ' the hurdles came as a surprise. After running second to Bachelor King at his first appearance over hurdles, and then winning the next three in impressive style, it was expected that Enjoyment would be left at the smaller fences for a while. Enjoyment looks to be above the average and his displays in good company at fiawera will be closely watched. Jesse Owens Improves. Since going into the stable presided over so successfully this season .by L. A. Maidens, Jesse Owens has revealed .remarkable improvement, and his latest performances indicate he will reach the highest grade. Since his defeat at Ashburton by Dusky Sound, who was forced to a race record of 3.12 2-5, Jesse Owens has won three events in succession, the Kaikoura, Handicap at Addington,; and. the Wairarapa Handicap and R. A. Armstrong Memorial at Hu.tt Park, and his success in the lastnamed race Was one of the easiest of his career.
