Tactile To Bypass New Zealand Cup

“The Press” Special Service

INVERCARGILL, July 25. The first major four-year-old engagement of the champion colt, Tactile, will be the Auckland Trotting Cup in January. He will not race at the New Zealand Cup meeting at Addington in November as was originally intended.

This information was given today by D. P. Dynes, of Wyndham, the part-owner and trainer of Tactile. He said that Tactile had done exceptionally well since returning from Australia, where he won the South Australian, New South Wales and Victorian Derbies. The Hal Tryax colt would be brought back to work in the next few days; but apart from being produced at barrier trials and non-totalisa-tor meetings in Southland, he would have little racing before being taken to Auckland. If the Invercargill Trotting Club staged an invitation race at its meeting on December 21, Tactile would certainly be produced there After racing at the Auckland Cup meeting, Tactile would go to Australia for the Inter-Dominion series at Melbourne. Other members of Dynes’s team, probably Jack Super and Cardiogram, would also race at Auckland and probably go to Australia. Dynes, who will have Deft, Light Mood and Jack Super racing at the National meeting at Addington next month, may send the trio north next week to finish off their preparations. R Cameron, who is now attached to the stable, will take them north and drive them in their engagements.
