TRENTHAM NOTES

PROPAGANDA FOR VICTORIA MISTER GAMP’S NEXT (Special to THE SUN) WELLINGTON, Thursday. Although Brigadier Bill has not been handicapped for the Hawke’s Bay Steeplechase, he is at Hastings and will be a runner on the second day, when he will be ridden by F. Corlett. Brigadier Bill is • very well, having recovered from the knocking about he received at Wanganui. On the work Bright Glow is doing at Hawera it looks as if an early spring or later winter engagement has been marked off for the Day Comet mare. Next week F. Davis is to move to Hastings to train there temporarily. For some years past he has prepared Mr. T. H. Lowry’s horses at Woodville. It is uncertain whether he will return to Woodville after the winter or make Hastings his permanent abode. It is uuderstood that the Hastings winner, Malahat, has gone into J. Oldfield’s stable. The new owner of Brilliant Light is well pleased with his purchase, whose track work has been satisfactory since he left the North. May Win Twice Mister Gamp >vill most likely contest both the Trentham Hurdles and tho Winter Hurdles race at the approaching Wellington meeting, as no penalty for the Winter Hurdles is imposed upon the winner of the Trentham Hurdles. It may not be long before propaganda races in Australia. An idea* of taking the Starstream gelding across thp Tasman has been entertained for some time, and plans are understood to be nearing completion. Propaganda has speed, but he has been stopping in his races and in his work, and the mystery is how he ran such a good second to Arikiwi down the long Trentham straight. An effort to place him in short sprints will be made, no doubt, probably round about Melbourne. Coon Song, who has been gelded, has done well since the operation, and is about to resume work.- He was a smart two-year-old, and is expected to do well as a three-year-old. As he is a free and bold galloper. Sir Moment has been sent across to Hastings to compete in the minor steeplechases this week. T. J. Daly expects to take up his new quarters at Trentham early in July. One of the most important members of his team, Hynanna, has just come in from a spell, looking very big and bright. The veteran Wairarapa trainer,

Robert Knox, is ill, and will not be able to attend this week’s meeting at Hastings. Since Thurnbell ran prominently among the hurdlers at Hastings last week, it has transpired that he -had been schooling particularly well at Opaki. This is one of the most promising of the season’s recruits to the ranks of the hurdlers.
