FOR NOVEMBER

Native Star's New Trainer (By "The Toff.") A quiet trip to.Addington, a nice race and a kiss from her trainer are all that need be said about Native Star's activities m August. DUT so well does she like the place v that she has decided to give up flirting with "Skipper" Price at Palmerston North and live with "Teddy" McDermott at Addington. "Skipper" says that "Judy" (which is Native Star's stable-name) requires certain treatment. He insists' that shje does not like stir-ups over two miles or short distance sprints. "Judy" just likes to bowl along at bus-horse pace for a mile arid a-half-7 and then step on the gas over the next half-mile. She is apt to get on her toes with rousing work. To look at her, one would not think she would lift her head for a fire-engine. Horses are peculiar, of course, but Jt is oranges to lemons that "Teddy" gets on with "Judy." : He will . have her wound up for November, and, if everything goes i right with her, Owner-farmer Fay, of . Feilding, may have to deliver a little ' ; speech after "Judy" downs the bunch m the Dominion Trotters' Handicap of one thousand pounds m November. By all accounts, Owner Fay had better get one ready. It' never does to keep the officials waiting, especially m the; hot sunshine of November.
