TROTTING

R> V.UAYL SQUARE-GAITERS ENGAGED AT EPSOM TWO CLASSES REPRESENTED THEIR FORM REVIEWED The square-gaited fratern t at Xt A| e exa W nd? a h ft?. " continued the following Wane. day. Pretty good class i s sented ,n the two-mile event, in the improvers’ section promising trotters will be seen^' If He Goes Right Great Way is trotting boldly in c track essays and a repetition of nZ form would spell victory for his lar y oung owners. Bndgens Bros ... his right day, the buck markers have little hope of overtaking hir* * Worth Watching Ben Bingen, a son of that good .. Native King, is a trotter of pronr and although he has not been a < ,' to go fast in his races, he has d well enough to get several first tificates. Ben should have someftL to say in the mile and a-half evrtu ' Promising Young One Tamahine, winner of both events the opening day of the South wT raxapa fixture, is a young trotter tl will later on reach good company it is doubtful whether the Bongbc' representative will yet be ready , tackle such solid opponents as will seen on Saturday. Solid Customer Dipnoi is an improved trotter sm if ho has gone on all right since •' Ashburton outing the Baffin will give the field in the Trial Hanl' cap something to think about bq‘ the post is passed. Dipnoi is a fairly solid customer and this is a good as~' Doing It Better

Don Zolock has shown a big provement in his last couple of atari* and it is quite on the cards that u Hal Zolock gelding will prove a tou nut to crack in the Trial Handicap, u late the old trotter is behavinc W a real toff. The Consistent Kind Billy Carbine is a consistent trot; and with a little bit of luck should u be long in picking up a stake. BL has very seldom ran a race, ar-. his record shows quite a lot of min placings. G. Robertson has him . the pink of condition and his day a near at hand. Still In Action Six months ago Direct Action’s rac ing days were as good as eiided, tn. when F. Gilchrist brought him in use as a hack he showed trottin e ability that caused a change of pr gramme. In a few weeks Direct Actu: won a mile and a-half race, and as b is now in much better nick he shouiu make a bold showing on Saturday. Fine Three-Year-Old Koro Peter is only three years ole, but he has not taken long to get mill back in the list of improvers. However, the Peter Moko gelding is suca a solid customer he will put up a boia showing when he steps out at Alexandra Park during the Otahuhu car* nival. Will He Stay? Tonic is a speedy trotter over a mile and a-half course ,and if W. J. Tomkinson has persuaded him to hang mb the extra four furlongs that is necessary to win the President’s Handicap, the ex-Victorion square-gaiter will te knocking at the door all right. On The Improve Happy Rosa, the stable companion .. Tonic, is showing improved foria a her recent displays, and while the (ire Audubon mare is asked to ov. among the pacers in the slower two- : mile heat on the opening day at Epsom, j she will not by any means disgrace j herself in the company.

Genuine Stayer Bonny Belmont may not be 4®; acclimatised yet. although °e aceeded in landing a race at the edin meeting, as his subsequent »ho ing at Addington was of a con "T', tory nature. The Victorian trotter, regarded as a great stayer and right he should pick up some mNew Zealand prize money.
