HAS DAY OUT

Her Family There In Force (Froiri "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) The brood mare, Gipsy Martian, can lay claim to something unusual by having three representatives racing m consecutive events m the one day. SUCH a performance was registered at Waikato on Saturday last, when

Stormy (Quin Abbey— Gipsy Martian) ran second m the Walmai .Hurdles, Becalmed (Nassua— Gipsy Martian) finished third m a Trial Division, and Dalston (Chief Ruler— Gipsy Martian) finished ..unplaced m the Tamahere Stakes. ' • All three ran m the nomination i«f Herb. Burch, ~ who owns the dam. . Stormy is aged, Becalmed four years, and Dalston a two-year-old. The aged gelding ia trained by F. Tutchen at Te Rapa, and Becalmed ' and Dalston by A. Cook, of Te Awamutu. Though Becalmed. failed to return a dividend In the Trial, her display suggested that she should soon break her maiden status. Quite a number of onlookers will be sadly disappointed if she fails to do so. >• ' ' Stormy, at his first attempt over hurdles, did really well and more will be looked for from him; in the i'uture. STOPPED UEW expect Chelone to run out a mile, * but when he took on the six, the second day at Trentham there was a rush to be on. He began well and was In front at the five, but then he stopped, stone cold. ; He will have to Improve a lot for the -. Stewards, but • then the racing would • have a beneficial effect. I7ACH race sees Lysander , doing a lit- *^ tie better. He was third the lasf day at Trentham, only about a long head behind the winner. w
