' In 1925 tlio lato l r red Bar\vick ? of ; Hagley, Imported Passionwood (Logan ; Pointer^Myrtlewood), a. line black mare L ' \n foal to tli© miglity pticer Author pillon, 2,G, says the "Australian Trotting Record." The mare duly foaled a (illy, ; how known as Rose Billon, a goodrlQqJcr ing inarq witji plonty of speed. SJiq lias ' been 30 times in the money, including 1 12 wins. Several foals were bred from ; Passionwood, either by Don Wilbur (now in South Africa) or Prince Wilbur (now r in Victoria), ! GREAT JUDGE OF PACE. ! ; Free Holmes has made many records with horses he hap trained, ridden, or driven, but lie also has the distinction of i having handled the pacemaker when rtt , least four rccords in New Zealand "were > broken. When .trotting was held at Lan : . caster Park, Christchurch, Holmes rode a I galloper to pace the old champion Monte I Qarlo, and when Worthy Queen established P her mile reoord recently lie also drove the ' pacemaker. Kudos for the records broken J by Worthy Queen and Lawn Derby must go to the credit of the veteran, who rated them quarter by quarter with the greatest 1 precision, this being particularly noticeable I in the cases of Lawn Derby at both Addington and New Brighton. [ ! INDIANAPOLIS. - Although a -winner of a consolation race > at the last Inter-Domipipn Championships, 1 it is a long time since Indianapolis displayed the form that stamped him as a ' champion. However, that his connections • consider him as good as ever is evident I from the announcement' that the Wrack liprse-is to be given a special preparation to make an attempt on Derby's ' mile record of 1.59 2-5. It will be interesting to see how he fares in his attempt on s the record. To . most it would seem,'liow--3 .ever, that he will fin'd it difficult to reach i his -previous best over' a . let alone , beat Lawn Derby's figures.
