Jack has paced his way to within striking distance of New Zealand Cup company, and this promising young pacer, now on a 4niin 28 sec mark for two miles, may add to his excellent, record it starred at Oamaru, where he is engaged in the President’s Handicap and the Enfield Handicap, says the “Star. Sun. Trained by R. B. Berry for his breeder, Mr W. T. Lowe, of Hinds. Lucky Jack’s record in recent months has been excellent. Since January lie has sitarted seven times for five wins and a second. He has won from a mil 6 and a quarter to two miles, fils victories including the Timaru Cup and the Belgium Handicap oh the first day of the Easter meeting at Addington.
