PLENTY OF IT

Limerick Has His ■•;' Jobs Set (By Cable.— From "N.Z." Truth's" Special Sydney Kep.) Limerick's trainer, F. D. Jones, ' has mapped out a busy programme for the Limond gelding this spring. THE Maorilander will have six races m little more than a month, and it is possible he will then go over to Melbourne to measure strides with the best of the weight-for-age brigade there. . , Limerick's first start on this trip will be m the Warwick Stakes, of a mile, at Warwick Farm. Then he will start m Tatt's Chelmsford Stakes, 9 furlongs, . Rosehill Stakes, 1 mile, A.J.C. Spring- Stakes, 1% mile, Craven Plate, 1% mile, and Randwick Plate, 2 miles. That will complete his spring programme here, but if his companion on the trip, Roscrea, runs decently In the Derby, he will go to Melbourne for the classio there. Limerick will accompany him to compete m the weight-for-age events. Limerick seems to' improve m appearance with each visit to Australia, When he first came here he was a hungry-looking specimen with very little flesh on his bones. But ho has built up a lot since then, and is now quite a present* • able type of thorougbhred, whilehis deeds stamp him as one of the best horses we have seen for some : years. QOOD money was won off Smithereens when she scored on the second day of the National. Her party threw In for a good win. QRAND NATIONAL has been an expensive horse to cart about the country. - ALL the discussion m Sydney at the ** present tune centres round Mollison. The trouble is all over whether he will stay or not. ; ..\... THE race that Gold Mint ran the middle day at Riccarton pointed to his being hard on the last, but he failed to do it again.
