TROTTING EIGHTEEN TWO-YEAR-OLDS TO PARADE AT ASHBURTON

Eighteen two-year-olds will race in a parade at trials to be held by the Mid-Canterbury Owners’ and Breeders’ Association at Ashburton on Tuesday. The majority of them will be candidates for the first contest for the New Zealand Golden Slipper Stakes, a race with a stake of £ 1000 to be run at the Waimate Trotting Club’s annual meeting on Saturday, December 8. The parade will be run in two heats. The Templeton trainer, D. G. Nyhan, has three horses entered for the parade. All of them are from the first crop of the champion pacer, Johnny Globe. The progeny of Johnny Globe made their first appearance at Kaikoura last month when they filled the first two placings in the parade. Space Patrol, which finished second to Au Fait at Kaikoura, will race again at Ashburton. He is a good type of bay colt from Golden Lady, by Gamble from Light Wings, the dam also of Lightning Lady, Emulous Filigree and Sirocco. Dresden Lady, Chandelier and Luminous are also closely related to Golden Lady. Nyhan has a great record with members of the family founded by Light Wings and Space Patrol looks likely to extend that. Golden Lady was never extensively raced because or recurring soreness, but in the little racing she had she showed considerable promise. A colt by Johnny Globe from Pirouette will be making his first appearance at trials. Lady Slipper, the dam of Pirouette, was a winner and is also the dam of Cincinnatus, Lady Jane, Provident and the promising three-year-old, Dune. Pirouette was a smart race mare and won the Great Northern Stakes in 1946. Nyhan’s third representative is Au Fait, a filly from Dauphine, a winner at the pacing and trotting gaits. Dauphine was by Light Brigade from Belita, tracing back to Eerthabell. founder of one of the finest winning families in the New Zealand Stud Book. Au Fait created a good impression when she won at Kaikoura, pacing the last four furlongs in the smart time of Imin 5 2-ssec. Trainer of Glint R. H. Negus, of Springston, who has had considerable success with the Whipster mare, Glint, will have two youngsters at Ashburton. The first will race as Super Joan.
