THOSE TWO-YEAR-OLDS

Trentham Shows Something And It WasGostly After the Wellesley Stakes was run at Trentham, many, many punters wished the Randwick meeting had never been lield.

FOR at Randwick one Gold Tinge showed a clean pair of heels to the youngsters iin the Breeders' Plate, winning m very good time. Gold Tinge was then brought home to win the We'llesley. 'A big percentage of the crowd'present thought he could — and the money poured m. ' A bit slow to get away, he then had every chance, but he could not make any advance on the leading bunch. In fact; he failed miserably. Gold Tinge had not done well since he came back — so his party -said after the defeat. It Is easy to be wise afterwards. Speed Light won;, not perhaps because she had superior pace, but mor.e for the fact that she had the' stamina to fight on. - She beat Francolin, just as she did at Wanganui— after giving her a start. Royal Flyer was a fair third — he did not look right and is to have a let-up— with Gold Tinge fourth. The handicap races went to Admiral Drake and Passbook respectively. • •

Neither may ever get into the front rank, but Passbook, is a useful filly and a very nice mover. . She was very unlucky the first day, all. but- being' down at one stage of the race. • '■„. The next classic to engage the attention of the babies is at Riccarton early next month. Form is well exposed now, arid there should not be a great deal of trouble m selecting the right two for the southern event. Aspiring- will have to be favorite, for she made a hack of Francolin at. Win - gatui, while Speed Light was all out to beat Francolin at Trentham. Speed Light, which is to be" ridden by Jack Barry, will probably be the other one' to claim attention. That is, unless the high-priced Honour comes to light m his work and sets tongues wagging about him. On form the remainder, with the , exception of Gold Tinge, which, may improve, seem hopelessly out of it. .'-'.*".
