ANGLO-IRISH PROMISING
Dominion Special Service.
INVERCARGILL, March 11
Anglo-Irish is to fulfil hts Trentham engagements and he was railed north on Sunday night. Sparkle, who was to have accompanied Anglo-Irish, was lame after a gallop on Saturday, and is unlikely to race again for some time. Anglo-Irish was in great order when he left for Trentham, and he can be depended on to give a first-class account of himself if he does well on the trip. The three-year-old chestnut son of Sir Simper is highly regarded here, and is unquestionably one of the best staying hacks seen in the south for a long time. He will be ridden in his engagements by the stable apprentice, J. L. Strathern, who has handled him in his recent successes in the south. The gelding’s part owner-trainer. W. E. Hazlett, will leave for Trentham by air on Thursday. Doubleack, who was nominated for the Wellington meeting, has had a recurrence of the leg trouble that cut short his racing career last season, and has been turned out till the spring. Doubleack’s successes this season included the Dunedin Cup and Wyndham Cup.
