FOR AINTREE
MOSSTROOPER RECOMMENDED £5,000 THOUGHT TOO HIGH When the ex-Australian trainer, E. Huxley, 'was in Victoria last year, just after his arrival from England, he picked Mosstrooper as a likely ’chaser for the English Grand National. He inquired if Mosstrooper was for sale, and was told he could be bought for £ 5,000. Huxley cabled the English trainer Reg. Day to that effect, and advised him to buy, but the figure was evidently thought to be too high, and no business resulted. Huxley is of the opinion that Mosstrooper would be quite at home over the stiff course in England. It may not be generally known, but the English trainer Day was .born at Randwick, where his father, F. W. Hay, was private trainer there for Lord Carrington. The late Mr. Day also carried on a veterinary surgeon’s practice there.
