Pink Coat Will Have Big Career

CHEAP COLT

(Prom "N.Z. Truth's" Christchurch Rep.) When Pink Coat won a trial race at the Oamaru summer meeting m convincing fashion, Jim Samson decided to put him' aside for the C.J.C. Champagne Stakes. DUT he subsequently sold the Hunting Song colt to Jack Morrison, of Timaru, for one thousand guineas, and his new owner went for a return of his purchase money at Wingatui m the Dunedin Champagne Stakes. The field opposed to him was a weak one, but what he did to them is better imagined than written. . When the tapes went up Pink Coat went for the doctor and the rest followed. Stealth, which is just good enough to run seconds, was two lengths behind Pink Coat and four lengths ahead of Gold Tinge, which ran a poor race and has completely lost his form. ' What beats Pink Coat m the C.J.C. Champagne Stakes should win. He is a well-proportioned chestnut, with an easy, action, and covers a lot of ground. . .
