C. Fairman Sets Up On His Own

WILL TRAIN AT EPSOM

EXPERIENCE WITH J. S. SHAW j Claude Fairman, a popular figure at Epscm and well known on many New Zealand trotting tracks, intends setting up in the training business on his own account. For the past nine years lie has been i associated with J. S. Shaw’s Epsom j stable and during that period he made ] good progress at his calling. The ; local trainer found his assistant trust- j worthy and capable and on many occa- j sions entrusted him with the charge of j horses, either at home or to take on a j journey. Good Reinsman Claude has been successful as a j light harness horseman, and sever J good saddle events have gone down to his credit In the sulky also, he has shown ability, and frequently when J S. Shaw had two strings to his bow, Fairman would occup3 r . the second sulky seat. He is attentive and painstaking at his work and should profit from the experience gained through his j years of service with the Epsom successful trainer, whose horses, wherever \ paraded, are always admired for their 1 excellent condition. Three owners during the recent fixture promised to assist the young trainer and when he • opens his King Edward Avenue stables ! in the near future, C. Fairman will I have at least three horses to commence I operations with. "‘Trotters” Again, Defeat “Taxis” SUITED BY GOING ! Handling the soft going at Car- j law Park yesterday afternoon with the skill of Reremai, the trotting j trainers romped over the Taxi team at League football as easily as Harold Logan won the Adams Memorial Cup on Monday. The training experienced by the ’•trotters” of late at Epsom on a heavy track stood them in good stead, and they both outpaced and outstayed the motorists. The latter were strengthened by the inclusion of the Marist and Auckland crack player, Clark, but he got ‘‘no quarter” from the light-liar-ness enthusiasts, who caused him to tangle badly each time he hopped away. The trotters ran out winners by the largo margin of 31 points to 0, making their second consecutive victory. ‘‘Concertina” Herring was again in • great tune, scoring the major portion of the points. “Warplane” Fairman shaped like an All Black, and “Gold Jacket” McMahon was a tower of strength to his side. Speed was also displayed at times by “Benefice” Morrison, "“Mountain Dell” Mitchell and “Rolfe Audubon” Cockle, while “Uncle Bert Ker” was going strongly until near the finish, where the lower part of his gear gave way.
