TRAINER BUYS COQ D’OR
Shift To Gore This Week
Coq d’Or has been sold by Mr J). W. J. Gould, of Christchurch, to the Gore trainer, E. A. Winsloe, and he will be sent south this week.
Coq d’Or cost Mr Gould 1300gns at the national yearling sales in 1956 but returned £lOOO with a brilliantly successful debut in the Canterbury Jockey Club’s Welcome Stakes that year. He raced twice more as a two-year-old, but had lost his form and was put aside. Coq d’Or won twice as a three-year-old last season. His first victory was in the Rakaia Handicap at Ashburton. The other was in the Seadown Handicap at Washdyke on June 28. He whs also runner-up in the Dunedin Guineas to William Paul, which later won the New Zealand Derby and the C.J.C. Churchill Stakes.
Coq d’Or is by Targui from Golden Link, whose greatgranddam was Gold Trail, winner of the Auckland Cup, Great Northern Guineas, Clifford Plate, Wellington Pearce Handicap and eight other races.
