Jones said Etoile d’Or and stablemate Dare, a prospect for the • sAust2so,ooo Elders Handicap (1400 m at Eagle Farm on June 6, appeared to have come through the long journey fairly well although they were a little tired. “But I think it’s j nothing that a few days here won’t help,” he said from Brisbane. “They did a little bit of j quiet pace work today ( and we will just have to , leave it at that and see how they will pick up.” < ■■ ] STABLEHAND WANTED EXPERIENCED stablehand . wanted.
