TROTTING.
LOGAN PARK SOLD. BRILLIANT PACER FOR AUSTRALIA The brilliant pacer Logan Park lias been sold, and will be shipped to .his new owner in Perth, AVest Australia, at tne first available opportunity. Logan Park commenced his career in the south, hut was just an ordinary pacer until -lie was sold and went into W. J. Tomkinson s stable. He quickly showed improvement and became one of the best of pacers over all distances. His effort in the New Zealand Cup of 1929 was probably his best. Til his division lie won very easily in 4.2/ 1-5, while Peter Bingen 'had been beaten in the first division by Kingcraft. In the final Kingcraft was favourite, but failed lo begin right, and Peter Bingen beat
Logan Park, putting up 4.18 4-5 for the race, Logan Park's time being 4.22. lne Logan Pointer pacer does not seem to be a back number, and it is rather surprising that the Aldington trainer should have sold his old favourite, who was tor some time raced by the late Mr. K. A. Armstrong and Mr. Johnston. Oil the death of the president of the Wellington Trotting Club, Logan Park was purchased by another patron of Tomkinson'e stable. He is probably the fastest .pacer who ruxs been sold in the Dominion to go to .West Australia, and he should win races in liio new home.
