TROTTING NOTES

By the Sporting Editor December 13 .. New Brighton T.C. December 26 .. .. Ashburton T.C. December 26 .. .. Gore T.C. Jottings First payments for the championships at Auckland are due on Friday. Teviot Maid's chance at Tapanui depends on her making a good beginning. Dillon Hall Filly Mr A. Gardiner, of Totara, has a fine type of yearling filly by Dillon Hall from Sunny Corner. She will probably be offered at the national yearling sales. Genuine Stayer

Maori Home is a genuine stayer and he looks certain to qualify for the next New Zealand Cup. He will probably do his holiday racing at Auckland, and should more than pay expenses.

Giving Away Time Aussie Boy, who is on the front of the 3.37 class race at Tapanui, has been nominated for the Pigeon Memorial Handicap, a 3.30 class, at the Gore meeting on Boxing Day. Lucky Jack Gelding Lucky Fellow, one of those on the front mark in the two trotting events at Tapanui on Saturday, is a six-year-old gelding by Lucky Jack Reydon, and is trained by L. Abernethy. At the Winton Jockey Club’s meeting last month he finished second to Esto Fidelis in the Dash Trot, of one mile and a-quarter, and he collected another second at the non-totalisator meeting at Wairio on Saturday. At Addington

Wayfarer attracted attention to his prospects when, at his only start for the season, he won the second division of the Selma Trot Handicap, of two miles, by 20 lengths from Gallant Thorpe at the Ashburton Racing Club’s meeting on September 13. On that display Wayfarer should prove hard to beat over the same distance if he is started in the Canterbury Handicap at the New Brighton Trotting Club’s meeting on Saturday.
