TRANSFER TO WAIMATE

TROTTING

I. HERBERT’S SOUTHLAND TEAM The Wyndham trotting trainer, H. I. Herbert, has purchased a property at Waimate and he will transfer his team to that centre at the end of the month. Herbert’s departure will be a loss to the trotting sport in Southland as he was one of the younger trainers who has made a success of his following. Herbert has made plans to take horses with him and others from Southland will join the team later in the year. The team includes Dragoman, lona Hall, Hall Ace, Mischievous, Princess Doreen, Blackenu, Regal Gem, Linden, a rising two-year-old Red Shadow —Misfire filly, and a rising four-year-old sister to Dragoman. (Dillon Hall—Pleasure Cruise). Dragoman recently resumed work after a short spell and intentions are ra^ e him at Addington next, month. Both tie and Hall Ace have thrived on the racing they did when recently campaigned m Canterbury. Dragoman should have little difficulty in bettering his present mark and there are few improvers in sight with better prospects than Hall Ace. lona Hall and Mischievous were both winners this season and they should prove capable of further improvement. Mischievous can be expected to go a long way in the handicaps. Princess Doreen is a half-sister by Gold Bar to Mischievous, their dam Monaive being a Logan Pointer mare from a good family. Blackenu, which races in the same interests as Hall Ace, is a rising four-year-old gelding by Black Globe from Wrackenu, a half-sister by Wrack to a high-class pacer in Sunny Morn. The rising two-year-old filly by Red Shadow from Misfire is a member of the Misfortune family which has produced a host of winners in Southland. Regal Gem and Linden are both rising three-year-olds by the Jack Potts horse. Colossal. Regal Gem is a good type of gelding from Rough Diamond, which is by Rey de Oro from the Logan Pointer mare, Crown Jewel. Linden is a filly from an Adioo Guy mare. Jottings Kakahu Pride, which will race in the interests of Mr J. W. Hands, in the Winter Trot Handicap at the Waimate Hunt Club’s meeting to-day, is trained at Temuka by K. E. Tarrant. A three-year-old gelding. Kakahu Pride is by Desmond's Pride from Honora Bingen. Golden Sheaf is a recent addition to A. Motz’s team at New Brighton. When trained at Harewood by A. McKenzie earlier in the season, Golden Sheaf earned £3BO for two wins and seven minor placinSs - ~ Lee Volo is back in work in D. A. Withers’s team at Addington. A gelding by Lusty Volo from Gipsy Lee, Lee Volo has the ability to win races once he settles down to trot solidly. J. T. Paul has registered his two-year-old gelding by Worthy Belwin from Tyrone Lass as Tyrone Bell. Racing at Waimate A. Purdon’s team at Riccarton includes Strathosphere, which is engaged in the Winter Trot Handicap at the Waimate Hunt Club’s meeting to-day. A four-year-old gelding, Strathosphere is by Quite Sure from a winner in Lottie Guy, which left a useful performer in Jackie Guy to Jack Potts. Bred at Lyndhurst by Mr J. P. McKendry, Lottie Guy is by Real Guy from the Harold Dillon mare. Prolific, which left other winners including Cornford to Matchlight and Manoeuvre and Vinco to Man o’ War. By Lusty Volo Braeval, which was recently purchased from the estate of the late Mrs W. Toon by Mr M. Robinson, has been nominated for the Washdyke Trot Handicap at the South Canterbury Jockey Club’s meeting next week. A five-ycar-old gelding, Braeval is by Lusty Volo from Page Girl, which was imnorted from Scotland in 1930 by Messrs J. L. Robb and I. Creasey, Christchurch.

A gelding, Wrackdale is by Josedale Dictator from Colleen Wrack, by Wrack from Erin’s Isle, by Lord Chancellor from a Prince Imperial mare. Has Some Ability The two-year-old colt, Josedale Audubon, which- has shown some ability once he has settled down in his races this season, will make his next appearance in the Winter Trot Handicap at the Waimate Hunt Club’s meeting to-day. A neatlymade youngster, Josedale Audubon is by Josedale Grattan from a winner at the trotting gait in Allie Audubon, which is by Maxegin from Nellie Audubon, the dam of other winners in i Fugelene and Loyal Friend.
