MR D. O’BRIEN’S VENTURE.
The Canterbury sportsman, Mr D. O’Brien, is making another bid to secure some of the rich prizes of the Australian turf. The two-year-old colt Gatling, that he has taken across to Sydney, is by Nordenfeldt, out of Petroleuse, and was purchased for 260 guineas when a yearling at Sylvia Park. Gatling is untried in public, but no doubt the colt has shown his owner he can galloD, when he takes him over to oppose Titan. The only engagements Gatling has at the A. J.C.- Easter Meeting are the Champagne Stakes, of l,ooosovs, 6 furlongs, and the First Foal Stakes, 6 furlongs, the added money being 400sovs. When sold as a yearling. Gatling was one of the most admired, ajid J F,omeipber well one of the attendants at the Park ai,ter the sale telling me ho was the best galloper in the paddock of the lot sold. I renewed my acquaintance with the colt when in Christchurch last December, and lie had
furnished into a good-looking bwo-yeav-old, while he possessed plenty of size. Next season Gatling is engaged in both the A.J.C. and Y T .R.C. Derbys.
