TROTTING

(CONTINUED)

NOTES AND COMMENTS

FROM NEAR AND FAR NORTHERN TATTLE The Rest Cure Auckland's popular pacing m&xv. Luvan, is having a rest after heveffort in the Adams Memorial Cup. After the gruelling race, under adverse conditions, the Australian-bred mare showed symptoms of a recurrence of the leg trouble which interfered with her preparation prior to to the June fix cure.-and a complete ta was deemed advisable. All sportsmen will hope to see the brilliant mare thoroughly recovered in the new racing season. Will Take Time

A. Julian is educating a Peter Moko three-year-old. whose dam is a daughter of Copra de Ora, and on breeding the juvenile has nothing to bo ashamed of. It favours the square - gaited style of locomotion, but judging from early essays, it will be sonuconsiderable time before young Peter Moko will get on the winning list. But the youngster’s owner intends U* give the trotter every chance, and it: preparation will not be hurried. Looks Are Deceptive The veteran light-harness enthusias. J. Pettie, is a regular visitor to Alexandra Park with the fine-looking trotting horse. Aerial Bingen, and the aged son of Nelson Bingen-Ludy Zeppelin is in execellent condition. In his last start Aerial Bingen was on a 4.42 peg and it looks as if the trotter is going to find it difficult to get in the money, although in appearanc he would give the impression that he could clean up the trotting issue. Well-Grown Maiden The same owner is handling t\ maiden by Nelson Bingen from Auckland Girl that is taking kindly to the business. The youngster is well grown and under the careful supervision of the veteran will have every chance to show its ability. The Nelson Binger. representative looks however as if i will require time in which to develop speed. Well Bred One Logan Rothschild, looking big anC fresh, is among the actives once more, and although his tasks are not of :l strenuous nature the son of Logan Pointer quickly gets in a lather. Excitability appears to be the trouble with J. C. Robertson’s gelding, and this is a bad complaint especially on race days. He is bred on lines that would suggest better things, having Rothschild blood in his veins through his dam. No Pride In Uncle Uncle Bert is pottering about the tracks in his customary easy-go-lucky fashion, and to look at him no one would imagine the son of Gold 801 l had quite recently brought joy to the heart of his popular owner-trainer. J. Lynch, and caused the downfall, ol’ several racing favourites to the. chagrin of their numerous supporters. Racy-Looking Customer J. Lynch has a very racy and wellbuilt maiden in hand that claims Rey de Ora for its sire, the dam being Bequest, a mare that has given several good ones to the turf, one of which Arran Chief has raced successfully in Auckland. If Lynch’s maiden turns out as good as its half-brother, there will be another Adams Memorial Cup in sight.

SOUTHERN JOTTINGS Great Improvement is pleasing J. Bryce a whole lot. The gelding has improved out of all knowledge, and can be confidently expected to go well in big events later on. The black son of Cathedrtil Chimes is engaged in a sprint race on the opening day of the Addington fixture. Johnny Walker The aged gelding, Nighborn, has done remarkably well since joining G. S. Smith’s stable. He is big in condition and his legs are in nice order With a few rousing work-outs he will be fit for the fray at August. The son of Charlie McKinney is a long way from being a back number yet. Condition Excellent The trotting stallion Guy Parrish has been doing a lot of solid work. His condition is perfect, and with a promise of dry tracks he will be in good shape for the new season’s racing. A mile and a half heat at the Metropolitan meeting should be within hie reach. Stepping Out Well Count Dee is one of the busiest trotters at Addington, where he is stepping along as if he will be among the early winners in August. The aged son of Petereta can do it if he likes, but is not always willing. A Big Contract Native Chief’s infirmity is not preventing him from doing serviceable essays. He will be all right for the August meeting, where he is handicapped on a 2.8 mark in the mile. Can he stand Nelson Fame up two seconds? It is a big contract. Among the Elite Peter Bingen will be at home over two miles next year. He just wanted another season to maintain his clip to the wire when Among the elite distance performers. That Peter is well was demonstrated during his trip to Auckland last month. Coming Back

Logan Chief wants to finish in front of everything he works with. The gelding is due to stage a come-back early in the new racing year. In the big event at the recent Canterbury Park fixture Logan Chief beat all but the winner, Waitaki Girl. On the Wing Nourmahal is at work again. She is trotting more confidently than she used to do, and over short journeys she can go very fast. The mile and a-half heats at Addington will suit Dennehy's mare down to the ground. Promising Pacer The three-year-old pacing gelding Acre has started work, but it is questionable if he can be at his best for August events. The son of Author Dillon has finished Into Dillon has furnished into a nice horse and wh<°n right should render his ownergood service. Owned in the North A. Cox is working a four-year-old mare by Great Bingen from Muriel Dillon, that was purchased recently by the president of a Northern trotting club. She is showing promise, and in Cox’s hands will have every chance for development.
