HIGH CLASS

Honour and Nedda For Sydney (Frm "N.Z. Truth's" Christchurch. Rep.) Though Honour is being proclaimed the superior two-year-old of the season so far as it has run, he has yet to cross lances with Nedda, the outstanding youngster of the south. "DUDGE" IRWIN, her present owner, who holds the filly on lease until the end of the 1930 season, is a very disappointed man that she was not nominated for this year's classics. She was not a runner m the Welcome Stakes, won by Honour, and with him out of the way she Avon the Irwell and the Pioneer Handicaps, beating the best two-year-olds which paraded at the Cup meeting. J After her runaway win m the Dunedin Handicap at Wingatui, on Boxing Day, "Budge" Irwin decided to give her a run for the rich prizes' -at Sydney at Easter. If that programme is carried out she may meet Honour, for a similar pro-% gramme has been suggested for the Greenwood colt since his Royal Stakes success at Auckland. She has inherited phenomenal speed from both her sire and dam, Paper Money and Michacla, and though - Honour is undoubtedly a high class colt, his southern rival has proved herself the outstanding youngster of a particularly good batch m the south, and will have many friends when she first disputes the issue with Mason's charge.
