TROTTING Ribands To Work Again At Addington Tomorrow

he will not be out to set any records, but will be given a Addington track will be open from 7 untilabout 11 a.m. and Ribands will probably work about 10 a.in. Ribands had improved since his impressive run on Thursday morning, said his trainer, C. Muddle. The horse was a little soft after missing work while on the boat from Sydney to Wellington. Thursday’s run had been just what was needed. It was not too fast in the middli stages; and Ribands did not have to exert himself creatlv at any stage of the run. would be jogged ,S°re' Ing, said Muddle, who had- just returned from exercising the horse for about ah hour on the road, with an easy, but fairly work-out tomorrow morning he felt Ribands would be at his peak for Tuesdays

will again be driven by N» ran*«dav driver, J. D. AVatts, in to trial. Watts, who hgs been one of the leading trainers and"drivers in New South Wales for many years, has never driven in New Zealand. However, this is not his first trip to the Inter-Dominion Championship meeting at Addington in 1951, when he was granted a driver s licence, but he did not have occasion to Whtts was very pleased by the manner in which Ribands performed on Thursday when making his first appearance at Addington. He felt he had plenty in reserve at the finish and was certain he would Improve immensely before Tuesday. Open to Public The inside of the track at Addington will be open to the public throughout the New Zealand Cup meeting. In the past this vantage point has proved most popular and this year the public will have the added advantage of a win and place totalisator.and pay-out windows.

Rumour Denied _ _ „ , The Templeton trainer, D. G. Nyhan, yesterday denied a persistent rumour which has been circulating in Christchurch over the last few days that an outside driver would handle Johnny Globe In his New Zealand Cup race. Johnny Globe looks a picture at present and appears to have taken no harm from his Hannon Memorial win at Oamaru or his fast run over one mile and a half at Addington last week. The Logan Derby stallion will be making his fourth attempt to win the New Zealand Cup, a race in which he has finished second twice.

Stud News Castleton Maid, the dam of Kuhla, has a bay colt at foot by Medoro. v Palm Beach, the dam of Surfman, Is rearing a filly by the American-bred horse, Lucky Hanover. Rufflette, the dam of Rapid Rival, has a colt foal by Gay Piper. Riversdale (Sandydale—Jean Mac) has a colt by the same sire. Among the bookings for this season to the U. Scott horse. King Scott, are Forewarned. Loyal Bonny. Lady Milne. Volometre, Quite Sound, Myrtle Globe, and Cisterna. At Yaldhunt Both Sure Charge and Trout Stream are now members of N. L, Berkett's Yaldhurst team. They were allowed to drop out of their engagements on the first day of the New Zealand Cup meeting on Tuesday, but they have been entered for races on the later days of the meeting and may be produced then. Sure Charge, a very speedy but unreliable son of Light Brigade, has not appeared In public since being trained by Berkett. If he can make hita trot solidly, Sure Charge would not be long winning as he has more ability than most in nis class. Trout Stream, a speedy mare by Josedale Grattan from Aqua Bond, has not raced for some time. She disappointed at the recent Addington trials, but that may have been only a temporary lapse. She showed good form two seasons ago, and if Berkett can get her back to her best she should not be long showing form. Notable Sires Two outstanding sires in U. Scott and Dillon Hall earned distinction last Saturday. U. Scott’s progeny passed the £900.000 mark as stake-winners and Dillon Hall was credited with his three-hundredth individual winner m this country. U. Scott is credited w?th 202 Individual winners in this country, and Dillon Hall’s progeny have won about £470,000. Dillon Hall has probably broken the record of the Australian stallion. Raider, which recently was credited with 312-individual winners. Dillon Hall has met with considerable success over the last eight years in Aus- , tralia and it would appear certain that : he has had more than 12 winners ’ there. For many years the record for indi- ; vidual winners in Australia and New 1 Zealand was held by Rothschild, the . leading sire in New Zealand in the . first Quarter of this century. His total I of 306 in New Zealand alone was ’ passed by Globe Derby, whose total ; reached 309 in the early 1940’5.

MARE FOALS THREE DAYS AFTER RACE

COLT’S SIRE BELIEVED TO BE LYNBURY (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, Noy. S. Three days after racing unsuccessfully at the Pukekohe trotting meeting last Saturday, the six-year-old pacing mare Sanguine foaled a well-grown colt at Te Awamutu at 4 a.m. last Tuesday. Sanguine broke at the start of the Tuakau Handicap last Saturday. On Sunday morning her trainer, Roy Purdon, telephoned the n>are*B owner, Mr George Henwood, of Mount Albert, Auckland, and told him that he thought she was about to foal. It is most unusual for-a mare to carry a foal when In hard training, on hard feed, and racing. Sanguine was apparently served when in a Pukekohe stable. It is believed the foal's sire is Lynbury. While carrying the foal, Sanguine has raced four times, her best performance being a fourth 1 in a race of one mile and five furlongs at Claudelands in August. Mrs Henwood has suggested to her husband that the foal be named Sanglyn or Mystery Boy. By Light Brigade from the Jack Potts mare. Rosea 1, Sanguine is a half-sister to a good pacer, Merval. Mr Henwood also owns Paean, another winner at the pacing gait.
