A GIFT HORSE
CON O’ MINE, who won the Hunt Cup Steeples as well as the Hunters’ Hurdles at Hawera yesterday, is a gift horse. He competed at the Ellerslie meeting in June last year in the colours of Mr. G. E. Trevor, of Palmerston North, and trained by J. Coyle at Awapuni. Not satisfied with his displays, the trainer advised Mr. Trevor to give him away as a hack to J. Brown, the well-known trainer at Hawera, and the latter has built up the son of Finland and Landrail to such an extent that he looks like doing even better before his career is finished.
Son o’ Mine’s owner intends handing on to Mr. Trevor the £SO geld cup which accompanied the winning stake. Thus is another of the romances of the turf disclosed.
