MAY GO TO AUSSIE

W AUGUST, the successful flere, is contemplating a visit to Australia in the near future, and his team will probably include Lord Nepean. Lord Lu. and Hori Dillon. The former, who is engaged at the Auckland meeting, has never looked in better condition, and appears to have overcome the leg trouble that affected him recently. Lord Lu is a promising young pacer, and will make his mark in the light harness business, and Hori Dillon is a useful sort. If the trip eventuates, August should meet with a fair measure of success across the Tasman.

heart, worked several rounds without being: requested to register anything in the way of time. The Peter Molio mare lias probably never looked better, but her task on a 4.34 mark of finishing in front of Young' Blake (4.32) and Native Star (4.32), both of whom have won faster than their handicap time, while Betty has only 4.36 for second berth, must prove a very difficult one. A yearling half-sister to Betty Moko by The Triumph was also exercised by P. Brady and showed a good knowledge of the square-gaited business. Although Akenehi failed to return a dividend at Hastings those who saw the grey in action consider her a promising sort. At the start of her race the daugh - ter of Peter Moko went away pacing, but when J. Paul got her into the trotting gait she went along evenly. The experience gained at Hawke’s Bay should prove 0 . beneficial to the T * Haul mare. Etta Cole, another of J.T/s young trotters, is full of promise and even if she fails to foot it with the opposition at Epsom, her party should find her a payable proposition next season. Waikaha’s deeds are too well known to the Auckland trotting public to require reiteration, but if started on Saturday week, he will be assured of strong support. Will She Do It Right? Roez, with S. August in the cart, gave a flawless exhibition over several laps, and the sister to Gold Sovereign is in nice shape. If the mare could be induced to repeat her track form in her races she would not be long in getting of the limit in the improvers’ trotting heats. But past experience has shown that Roez does not perform up to standard when the “tote” bells are ringing, although on the one occasion she did “take it on” for Tom Roe she left the opposition in the next paddock. Interrupted Preparation Hori Dillon was geared up and August hunted the big pacer along over a few furlongs. At first he put in a bad tangle, but this was probably caused by another horse standing at the track gate which attracted his notice. After being warmed up the Harold Dillon gelding rattled off 12 furlongs in approved style. Beatty, who has been an absentee from the track for several days owing to trouble in one of her joints, was indulged in walking exercise. Her trainer entertains hopes of having her right for the meeting, but it is unfortunate that her preparation has been interrupted.
