(N.Z. Press Assn—Copyright) AUCKLAND. Jandell will not be taken to Australia this spring and plans for another Takanini stayer. (Turfcutter, to race in Mel- ' bourne have become even more ! uncertain than they were. ■ i Tile trainer, C. F. Fenwick, said at the week-end that it was lapparent that Jandell was not : i “coming up” well enough to be [set such a strenuous under- , ■ taking. ! Taken along quietly she could, he considers, be racing next month and be back to her peak ' by Christmas. He said she would ' not be starting at Te Rapa today. Turfcutter is oil the fiftli line of favouritism for both the ■ Melbourne Cup and the Caulfield Cup but nothing definite , has been arranged for him and a foot injury last week could ' upset things altogether. i After a spell out in the pad dock Turfcutter came back last Thursday in great order but ! was lame the next day, having I punctured a foot. The gelding’s . trainer. R. C. Verner, said it ’ was hard to judge just how ■ serious the trouble might be. • “He eould be all right again in two. or three days,” Verner said. “Then again he might take quite a while to recover.”
