Keeping Fit '

Although he has, not been visiting the local trucks since the Auckland winter fixture. Goldman is keeping‘in good order at. owner Hedley's selection. Having the freedom of a. good ucreage, the Gold Bell gelding has taken a fancy to according himsel! galloping exercise, While he has an occasional essay on his owner‘s pri-

vate track with his youthful jockey, - N. Craig. in the saddle. Goldman will not require much topping off to be in readiness for the benefit nieetingnext month. . Chance for Derby Colt ' Now that a definite decision has been arrived at regarding the special fixture at Alexandra Park. traina.‘ J. T. Paul will probably put Great Parrish and Mythorpe in work without ' delay. Both were \vinners at Hast- - ings, but have. been having an easy time since returning home. Auck—land‘ers will appreciate the opportunity of seeing the handsome Derby candidate in action at Epsom. andhis owner will no doubt appreciate the chance of. giving the son of Guy Par—rish another race in public. A Bonny Filly ' ‘ Jack llcKendrick is allotting Dillon .
