Fury’s Order going back to Melbourne

Special correspondent ■; New Plymouth 11 The Hawera stayer. Fury’s h Order, is likely to have *.'ie|! first race of a new campaign I in the main sprint at the Fox-11 ton Racing Club's meeting on|’ August 14. ’ |i Fury’s Order, which will be ; < six next week, is being pre-i pared by his trainers. W. Mc-|i Ewan and L. Gestro. whop have firm plans to send the;, chestnut to Australia. Fury’s Order has pleased! his trainers over recent weeks, and is likely to contest' weight-for-age events at I Wellington and Avondale; after his race at Foxton. McEwan said yesterday; that all going well Fury’s Order would run in the Captain Cook Stakes at Trantham and then the Hardstown Stakes at Avondale. Fury’s Order contested; both races during a five-race programme before embarking on his Australian campaign last season, but because of changed dates the events

are in a different sequen.e 'this year. All going well he is likely Ito leave for Australia in late 'September where he will have plenty of opportunities Ito extend his record in !weight-for-age and handicap events during the rich spring {carnival. ■ p ury’s Order, like his ! stablemate. Kythera. has been freely nominated for major ievents in Victoria and at this {stage it is anticipated the {Hermes mare will accompany 'Fury’s Order to Melbourne. Kythera. winner of four {races this term, is a dour I I stayer likely to find the: 'roomy Flemington track in such events as the Melbourne . Cup to her liking. As well as winning four ■ races Kythera recorded seven minor placings during the season, the best of which was Ijher half-head second to Royal Dell in the 3200 H. R. Chalmers Stakes at Trenth <m. It is possible that a third member of the stable, Nickle-

be, will be taken to Australia. Blue Nile’s half brother has had limited raceday experience but according to McEwan, this is only because the tracks have been against the handsome colt. No riders have been firmly engaged to ride any of the I trio in their Australian assignments.
