(By "The Toff.") LAST season Golden Spray was regarded as one of the sensational j young trotters of the year. She won ' three races. Her owner declined big money for her; then she faded. Last week she was entered for New Brighton. Golden Spray at the seaside seems appropriate. # & # It is up to New Metford to win one race, perhaps two, this season. He shaped well during the autumn, and, being' a well-bred one, with youth on his side, he should make good. # ' # « There is a trotter named Merrygigs, which has a lot of speed. Unless he goes crazy, the punters will be on a "feed." # * -* G. W. Dransfield has converted Myrtle Dillon to the trotting gait. Myrtle Dillon is a half-sister to Loganwood and opened her career as a pacer, but she did not win a race. #• * * Chef is m the mugs' race at New Brighton.' He is the only cook m the Party - * J. N. Clarke is giving Baron Bingen a careful preparation with a view to racing the full-brother to Great Bingen at New Brighton. #, * * Funny Little Johnnie is to have another try for a stake. All the old snags seem to come out for New Brighton. / # '* * . I One of the speediest pacers m work is Dilnon. Pf W. Warren can get him to go kindly, he will soon win races with the gelding. # # * Imprint has left sunny Nelson and is to receive a special preparation for the New Zealand Trotting Cup by J. Bryce. • * * .-.#." Now Roicole and Countryman are m the same race at New Brighton.
