Pacing Pars From The North

(By '"The Toff.")

MOUNT ROYAL showed a lot of speed m his only race at Addington and the big trotter may win a race' m the near future. * * #

I OOK out for Robert Guy the next time he is started. He is some good, and is a fine stayer.

PRINCE POINTER is m steady work The Cup is his mission.

TONIC raced badly -in' "her recent ef--1 forts at Addington. The trotter has been sold this week and leaves Tomkinson's stable shortly.

AS a number of Nelson Bingen's progeny have shown a. lot of promise early m their careers, the Nelson Bingen horse is likely to do a good season. Derby Lynn and Loch Moigh already have won races.

THE trotter, Leo Bellman, has .been sold and will probably be rade'd on the West Coast. * # * CINCE Imprint has been m J. Bryce's stable 'he has raced a good deal below his best, showing: At the conclusion of the August meeting, Imprint rejoined L. F. Berkett's stable and went to Nelson with Marshal Neil and Dilworth. * * * ITYALNAHINE has finished his racing U career and goes to the stud In the Oamaru district. * * *

THERE are a large number of horses A trained at New Brighton but they are not a good lot. Horses trained at the seaside course started 30 times at the August meeting, but Wild Hebe was the only stake-earner and he got third m th^ first race, of the' meeting*.

OEVERAL. bf the progeny of the stallion Brigand are already showing a lot of promise. They ' go at both the pacing and trotting gait. Brigand was a fine stallion who had \ great ' speed both as a trotter and pacer

THE consistent Dundas Boy was a * trifle sore after his first two days* racing at Addington and was not started on the concluding day. He is to be given a short spelt and then prepared for the New Zealand Cup; ■'■■■-■•

THAT great brood mare, Bertha Bell, * dam of Great Bingen, Peter Bingen, Great Parrish and others is to be mated with Travis Axworthy this .season.

THE stallion, John Dillon, whose stock are racing particularly' well will probably : 'do.. stud duty m Cantei-bury. ''**■: ! ' :Hf . * -. • ...

TALENT -is back m work again after a good V spell. He is the best pacer trained at New Brighton. .-. .

THE work of Mr. A; J. Hastings, the A starter at Addington. was of a high order throughout the three days' racing. There was not a faulty dispatch m the twenty-four races.

"THE trotter Admiral Bingen is now doing a lot more work at Addington than formerly! He is r gradually getting out of his nervousness and .becoming .much .more, docile. He-can go fast oncehe settles down. in &< race. .

UUON DENVER was only seen "out once at the August meeting. 'The Ashburton -trained* and x owned ,■ horse showed a lot of speed .when he eventually left the mark m the August Handicap. The first timer ,he goes, awa^ right m. a two-mil^ v race he • Will* "be' Hard to beat. "•"•:•■■ •„ w ; ; yy? ■ ■<>• ,'

THE Yaldhurst trainer, M. B. Ed : i wards, has decided to give a number of* horses m his stable a spell as he has such a large number of youngsters m hand which require all his attention. /

j^ANCY McKINNEY was first tried at pacing and later worked and raced as a trotter. She then was sent back to the pacing gait again. When raced as a trotter she invariably went off pacing and would riot keep steady. She is now m \york again atythe •trot-: ting gait, but. V.it Ar&mains to\ 'bey seen how she will shape m a race; -■•'"'" ■'■'.. t> \ • ' •*"*'■. : ' ''.'■.:'

QREAT HARVESTER, which has not raced for some time has been nominated for the New Brighton Club's meeting. He "lias a big private reputa'-' tion which, however, he has not yet produced with the colors up.

THE ex-Gisborhe-rowned trotter, Wall, which is now owned by M. O'Brien and trained by W. Tomkinson has been nominated for the Improvers' Handicap at New Brighton.

* - '*.-.■ * ' DRAMDEAN is standing up to his work so far and if this fine young trotter remains sound he* will win a race m the near future. His: trainer is confident that Bramdean will keep sound. ,

'THE pacer, Patsy Phegan, who has not raced for some time is again m work. He showed a lot of promise when last raced.

THE trotter, Nelson's Prince, did not do too well when first ooming to Addington, but J. Deyell has been very careful with him and the trotter is now working m good style.

THE talk of the week has been the sentences received by Bates arid Holland who pleaded guilty to the "ringing m" of Bruce as Imperial Thorpe. , They got ' twelve months' hard labor, and this may ' eventually put a stop to any similar practices m the future. • ' ' / ■;

■** ' * # CONOMA CHILD, which won the Sapling Stakes m 1928, is now being trained by E. Carlya at Addington. Sonoma Child probably will' race . better this season as he has both speed and stamina.

W ALBORN has made another start * with the trotter Merrijigs, which is m the rough at present Merrijigs is a good trotter with plenty of speed and stamina, but he is very highly strung and goes all to pieces prior to the start of races.

TAALMENY is quite all right and this honest, reliable pacer should show his best form when y he is next seen with the colors up. m the mud he is a hero.
