TROTTING NOTES

(By "Vedette.")

Nominations for the Taranaki Trotting Club's Meeting close on Friday at 9 p.m. The Metropolitan Trotting Club's Meeting will be held at Addington on Saturday. „

jiie defunct trotting stallion Logan

Pointer seems likely to maintain his position as the leading sire of the present season. With six months expired he has a good lead. It is worth mentioning that no less than sixty of his progeny have been stake earners so far this season.

Acceptances for the Wanganui and Otahuhu Meetings close on Friday. The pacer Logan Lou came ottt at the first mefiting of the season and won £1425. Soon afterwards she went lame and had to be given a spell. She has not been long in work, and she: should earn more money before the close of the season, provided she remains sound.

The pacer Loganwood has won £1330 to date this season. He has been a most consistent performer. He won a race last August at Addington, and liis earnings have been augmented by being six times second, ' twice third, and once fourth. Loganwood is particularly smart over a short course, but in a solidly-run two-mile race he is not impressive over the last quarter of a mile. He is particularly sound and a quick beginner. ■ • The pacer Talaro is to be given a spell. This is a wise move on the part of his owner, as Talaro has done a lot of racing this season, and now looks as though a let-up would prove beneficial. He has won three races and been placed second on six occasions, onoe a dead heat, third four times, and fourth once. His earnings this season amount to £2145.

Onyx and Teneriffe were visitors to Addington on Friday, and were worked in company over a short course. The speed was on over the last half-mile, and Teneriffe showed to most advantage. Considering it was the first time Onyx had been worked in hopples since she last raced, her showing was quite satisfactory. J. Biyce, who is to drive Great Bingen in the trotting championship at Perth and Messrs. J. R. M'Kenzie and D. F. Glanville leave for Australia on 18th February.

Delavan Quest is said to be working very well at Addington, and can be\ expected to race prominently over a short course any time now.

The American-bred pacer Billy Whizz is now an inmate of W. J. TomkinsoiTs stable. •''

The speedy pacer Landlord is once more under the care of D. M'Kendry, who had the Brent Locanda gelding in his stable last season. ,

Bertha Bingen is now bearing a welltrained appearance, and it should not be long before the sister to Great Bingen' is seen with the colours up.

Snowshoe looks to be sound, and his enforced short retirement has evidently been beneficial. So far he has not been asked to do any fast work. The pacer Teneriffe has raced unluckily so far this season. She has not won a

race, - but she has been six times in a place, being second on three occasions and third a simpar number of times. She has won £325 in stakes.

Paul Dufault was on the track at Addington recently, but he was only required to t do easy pacing. Although he has 6een his I best day, he is looking better than he has done for some' considerable time, but his chance of winning over a two-mile journey is very remote.
