Golden Grattan was m the minor money last Saturday — third. She seems solid, though not really good. • * # # Single Mint is a possibility at some of the smalls. * • • Do not entirely dismiss the prospects of Golden Park. Showed up well enough last week to be considered at country gatherings. * * * Call Boy will call again. Watch out for him. * * * Gold Star's day must be coming soon, but it will probably be m a two-mile bout, * * * Call Boy, from Nelson Bingen — Lord Derby mare, was a pretty hot sort of a maiden to spring on to the Introductory crowd at Waikato. * # # If Machine Gun is caught at his best on Auckland Cup day he will keep the rest busy. ■^ # Most of the Introductory trotters seen out at Claudelands should be retired. They are useless as paying propositions.

High Sea made amends at Waikato by registeinng a win and a second. His saddle victory was encouraging for future reference, though he really met nothing of class. Gold Dial duly came off, but it will be different when Explosion decides to move off his mark to time. # * * Despite the tightening up of the classes, the nominations for the A.T.C. are little short of last year's, entries, and are still likely to end with big fields m the minor classes. # # # Andover did his Job well at Claudelands. Bigger things to follow. * # * Paradigm will do better than on Saturday last. * • • Nelson Dillon is on the small side, but will improve on last Saturday's form. • * • Medusa has a bit of a reputation for later on.
