Decision on Thursday
From
ALLAN BROWN
Melbourne Whether Kingston Town will have a further race before the Melbourne Cup will not be known until Thursday morning. His trainer, Tommy Smith, said yesterday that he would make up his mind whether to run Kingston Town in the L. K. S. MacKinnon Stakes after the horse works at Flemington on Thursday. Smith, ■ following Kingston Town’s win in the W. S. Cox Plate, declared the horse certain to line up again next Saturday but is now not so sure. “It might be that he will need one on Saturday,” Smith said yesterday. “But I won’t be certain until after he works on Thursday. I’m going to have him thoroughly vetted after he gallops and then make a decision." Smith, who returned to Sydney last Saturday, was due back in Melbourne last night. Kingston Town’s regular jockey, Malcolm Johnston, will join the party to be on the horse in training on Thursday. Johnston resumes race riding at Canterbury in Sydney tomorrow after a six-weeks suspension. He has ridden Kingston Town in 24 of the horse’s 29 wins.
