FROM THE SOUTH

(By "The Toff.") DON'T forgot Meroury. #, # • They say Royal Wrack Is a stunner. w w w . Wraokua reminds «ne of Malley and the "Wrong »un." • • • . Lady Brent Is baok on the traoks , again after a well* deserved rest. •■' • • The New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club made a profit of £9926 this season. Ita assets over liabilities total £90,052 ss. Bd. Any good! #■■.*■ • Prior to going to Auokland, Maxegin wa9 a bit sore, but the trouble Is not expected to develop to any extent. • •, • The young pacer Hinkler enjoyed his raoe at Ashburtdh,- where he showed that he has the makings of a good handicap performer. ** . • J. R. Corrlgan endorses all the nice things said about the progeny of Worthy Bond. He has a two-year-old from Lady Haldane, which he estimates a high-olass youngster. # * • Baokers want to remember , that Jewel Pointer is a very lazy track worker but a. demon of a racehorse. ■ *-■■-■„*' ' * ' ■ Much interest will be centred In Great Bingen's future doings. Last year the aged pacer bore signs of wear and tear, but a good rest may have rejuvenated him. It is hoped a». •• * • J. Jack has a benny oolt by Prince Pointer from Carrie that has had Its engagement continued m next season's great Northern Derby. • • • Acron is pleasing himself In his work, and the moody pacer is not «n the improve. • • • Imprint is advertising lameness. Does it mean the end of the gelding as a racehorse? # • • Acre lost some of his condition at the August meeting, and at present is building up for the new season's operations. * • • Stockade Junr. has recovered from the unsoundness -that caused him to cease racing this season. At present he is being hacked about the roads with a view to being m« good shape for early spring contests. # # • Tennessee's Child is .• m good order for this period • of 'the year. His trainer is hacking him about, so that the gelding will be ready for serious work early m the season. • • • The pacer Sunshower has been well cared for this season with a view to giving her every chance of making a name for herself next year. * * • A two-year-old trotter of merit is m work at New Brighton under A. G. Wilson. It is by Sonoma Harvester. # '■ # • # . ,-.:. -„•■• The American pacer Direct Tod has found his form lately and. will reward his owners for their patience. * * ■'■■■* The fast trotting mare Nancy McKinney is out m the paddock for a holiday. She has raced several times this season, but so far she has not settled down. Perhaps the spell will help to mend her ways, ; ■ , . ## . # If St. Fillan was as good as he is bred he would be a cup horse. L. Stobart has him m great buckle, and if ever the Logan Pointer— Innisfail gelding is going to make good, next season should be the time. . # * # The Cheviot Trotting Club willflnd itself up against a brick wall m trying to gain representation for the Canterbury Owners' and Breeders' Association on the New Zealand Trotting Conference. * * * Judge Hancock has got ria of the lameness that has kept him from the race track since November. He is being pottered about preparatory to being given real work for the new season's racing. ■;. # * ' * Already considerable interest is being taken m the ■ Melbourne Derby for three-year-old trotters; perhaps more so this season than usual. This is on account of the New Zealand youngster Koro Peter having been entered for the i contest. All going well, it is Koro Peter's owner's intention to send the gelding to Victoria. # * ..;■■* Glenaray is a solid pacer that does everything right. He last raced at Petone, where he filled a minor place after having every chance. He is engaged at Ashburton on Saturday, and unless the good ones are left In their stalls he won't earn much money. * ■'#■;.■..# Great Audo is about to take the fleld again. Great Audo is overdue. * ' '-■■ •■ ■■'■.'. * ' ■" Vecto is a nice pacer, but he is inclined to go wrong any time. Our Bird has Tun a few. good races and a lot of bad ones. Age may nave settled her down. It is about time she won a stake. •' * : •■ # '*•■'. ''■■-.'■ ■ Bingen. Patch will be suited by a mile and a- quarter at' Ashburton. He requires a big course. •. • • Over ten furlongs Imperial Thorpe la considered a hard horse to beat at Ashburton. ' ' ; •■•#''••■"'•■■■■. #■, ■'.■,■,- ' .*. ..•■..■.■■■•'"■ Lady Bee.
