AUCKLAND CUP
BIG POSSIBILITY .machine gun in demand an attractive trial Machine Gun’s performance at New Brighton on Saturday in winning the Beach Handicap of 10 furlongs in 2.46 was a particularly smart one, and caused a great deal of jubilation among the early supporters of the Australianbred pacer for the Auckland Cup. After Mr. McMillan’s representative finished up his impressive dual victory at Alexandra Park in October, several admirers of the son of Machine
Brick ticked him off as a big possibility for Auckland’s premier lightharness heat and the manner in bis second victory was achieved would po doubt be a warrantable excuse for their optimism. That Machine Gun has gone on the right way in the interim was fully demonstrated by his brilliant showing at New Brighton, which can be taken as a highly satisfactory trial for the Alexandra Park engagement. It takes a real two-mile horse to pull out a big 10-furlong effort, and one that can do his work in such a masterly manner as Machine Gun proved capable of must be kept well outside with when a real two-mlle test is required. Supporters of Roy Berry’s candidate for the cup cannot feel otherwise than pleased with the situation.
