Brown satd Daryl’s Joy had been sent for a spell and would be returned to light work in a month or so In preparation for the autumn racing. Lead-up races to the Sydney Cup would include the V.R.C. St Leger and welght-for-age events.

“He’ll be a much stronger and more mature horse In six months," Brown said. He could win another (80,000 before the and of the season.”

Brown will return to New Zealand today after a highly, successful Melbourne campaign with Daryl’s Joy and stablemates Wood Court Inn and Hamua.

The trio earned <96,000 for their owners.

Wood Court Inn and Hamua are on the same property as Daryl’s Joy. as is the Victorian sprinter. Vain.

After a spell. Wood Court Inn will be taken over by a Melbourne trainer under an arrangement worked out before Brown went to Australia. Hamua, which broke down in toe Melbourne Cup. will be out for at least six months. “When I get home I will discusss Hamua’s future with his owner,” Brown said. “I have high hopes that he will come back as good as ever.” Brown, who is considering moving to Melbourne permanently, will definitely return to prepare Daryl’s Joy for his autumn campaign. There is a strong possibility that the jockey, W. D. Skelton, will go back to Australia also. Skelton left for Perth on Wednesday to ride in the Invitation Stakes on Monday. He will return to New Zealand later next week.
