Ready for consolation
From G. K. YULE Sydney I Canis Minor was jogged at Bankstown yesterday. He is in wonderful order for his consolation race. Trevor Thomas, at present under suspension, has engaged Doody Townley to drive the seven-year-old tomorrow. Townley will drive him in work today. The trip to Melbourne for Canis Minor’s stablemate, Stormy Morn, is still under consideration. If he does go south he will travel with Lea Sands and be trained by Innes, who said yesterday he intends to bring Lea Sands to Christchurch in November to con-
test the New Zealand Cup land other races at Adding-, [ton Raceway. “It’s just’ the question of: transport,” he said. “Getting! back to Melbourne might be the problem. The big track in Christchurch would suit my fellow and I'd love to race him there.”
Waipounamu and Locarno are other possible New Zealand visitors to Melbourne. Unfortunately return transport to Christchurch is still indefinite.
“We’ve been told nothing other than the flight could be on April 6. That’s little more than a week away, but there’s still nothing definite as far as we know,” said Butt.
