Fining Down. Treasurer has not yet reached the sprinting stage, but he is fining down following a solid course of pace work. Treasurer is trained by H. Nurse, and he has not started since the 1938-39 season, when he won two races and was placed in two others in seven starts. He is a six-year-old bay gelding by Paper Money from Sweet Beauty, dam. also of Cottingham. Rebel Star and Palmyra, all winners. Treasurer has the ability, and it is just a question of him remaining sound to win more races.
