HE GETS THERE

Winning Way At Hpme SHAW'S SUCCESS (From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) When "Truth" suggested that there was no place like home so far as J. Shaw was concerned, it was not far from the mark. pARRYING the silks' on six occasions last Saturday, Shaw steered home three winners and a third. This brings his winning driving record up to sixteen, and so far as the winning trainers' schedule is concerned he, now has credit. to the tune of fifteen. That is, up to last Saturday's racing, and it can be predicted that before the season closes some more Avill come his way.

QREAT CHANGE did it correctly for once and duly landed. He only has to do it right to get more. « * * COUTHERN scribes estimated Tonic as no two-miler. Don't .believe it, for he can stay, as second m the President's amply proved. « * * TT was a fair effort on the part of Loch Moigh to finish third m the second "leg." His turn looks to be due. # # « TOY BIRD tailed the field m the mile J saddle. That- won't stop .the "heads" from r-ushirig her again. * *. * D. A. McMILLAN Vis ,due to .crack' it for a trot at any old time. He has some classy stuff even though Daytime fuzzled it m the Myers mile and aquarter. # * # T. W. COOPER, of Papamoa, breeder of Koro Peter; is off to Melbourne. He. is likely to purchase Grand Voyage for stud puiy>oses and a filly by The Design-, (full -brother of The Triumph) from Stylish Girl. • *;■-*■ # A WAY is keeping sound, and if E. C. McDermott can carry out his programme the gelding will soon win a short race. . . -. .# * * WIKOTA has come on since her trip to Dunedin, and should go well at Marlborough. .. # * * WENLO has become sound, and will be got. ready for sprint races. Hitherto, Wenlo has been raced over long distances. c « .. « , * LJAROL.D BURWOOD is still tricky. I He can go faster than most horses, . but on race days he won't. r■* * ' * TROUBLE EVENT has re-entered the v stable of C. Taskor, who did very well with the gelding when he last trained him. # * w "THE pacer, Logan Lad, has been recommisfsioned. He will have to im- - prove to win a race. y r «■ « • i I^IOWA'S form suggests he is patchy. ? **• He is being given a lot of solid t work at Addingtou, where he is expected to come right with age. iiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiuuiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiuuiiiuiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiii

During the past two seasons he has not exhibited too much gameness at the end of his races. He is to have a holiday before he again is indulged m a preparation. #.■'.. * • # TALENT seems to be m a class where he is. just good enough to flatter his supporters. Perhaps' a 'spell will help him to accelerate his speed. *. # # THE one-time much fancied Nurmi is m work again. He came from Australia, and is m Freddy Owen's stable. • ! . . . * * ' ■ # I UATH was backed down to a short " price over a mile and five furlongs at Gore, but when it came to business Country King beat him pointless. Country King is going to reach society. He is half-brother of Queen's Own. * • # * JOHN APPEAR has done a lot of racing this season and does not appear to bn on the improve. He ran second m a. ten furlongs race at Gore at about a 2.24 clip to the- mile. * * a THE Oamaru pacer, Pando Pointer, was backed as if she was a certainty at Gore, but she ran like a goat. She is still "iffy" at the post. c * * TMPERIAL, THORPE is one" of the dead certs that is waiting iri the long grass at Southland. He was very unlucky on two- occasions at the recent Forbury meeting. , ._■ ■' ■*.; •-. a ' * WHEN the highly-bred pacer, Sea " . Hawk, settles down he will win races for his ; owner, F. Wallis Jr. Sea Hawk is a stylish-goer, and is trained m Southland.
