The Leading Rtlnsman. C. S. Donald had horses racing at Ashburton, Auckland, Canterbury Park, and Greymouth during the Christmas and New Year holidays, and altogether he has won four races with Writer, Dilnon, Ulm, and Brook Pointer, while place money was earned by several others in the stable. Donald easily heads the winning trainers' list for the leason •with 21 wins to his credit, and he has driven 14 winners. He has a commanding lead over the next on the list, and with a big string of horses under his care should not be displaced from his position. Amonest horses from the stable that are engaged at tho Timaru Meeting are Great Way, Ulm, Grand Light, Sunny Bob, Dilnon, Grand Canyon, St. George, Pearl Logan, and Baron Bingen. Up to Track Work. After winning the Westport Cup with Eoyal Comrade, in which Kreisler finished second to his stable companion, D. Bennett won the chief event at Greymouth on Saturday with Kreisler. Kreisler is a very speedy pacer by Great Audubon. and when at his best he can go two miles. In the past he has not always been reliable at the barrier, and in addition he does not race generously at times. He has been doing good work in training, and he was expected to race well in his engagements on the West Coast. A Useful Filly. Cushla dOr won in decisive style at New Brighton early in the season, having a lot of speed over a mile and a half, and, although she failed at Addington a week later, she put up fast time over the same distance. She then appeared to train off slightly, but has evidently come back to form, as she won the Dash Handicap, the concluding event on the first day of the' Greymouth Trotting Club's Meeting, Cushla dOr is by Key do Oro from Ma Cushla. She is four years old, and in the meantime speed is her best asset.. She may show more stamina later.
