FROM GASBAG'S SISTER

PACERS AND TROTTERS

Gold Mag,- who won the Maiden Three-year-old Race at Rosebill on Saturday, and the Kogarah Stakes at Moorsfield yesterday, js the now four-year-old Magpie—Kaahamanu brown gelding whom Mr. J. Hennah took over to Sydney about three weeks ago. They were his first starts on Australian soil, and were a good auspice for further success.

Although bred in Australia, Gold Mag has.a full- New' Zealand maternal pedigree, as'his dam, Kaahamanu, is a younger lull-fister to' Gasbag, being by Demosthenes from Lady Celia, by Gold Reef, and descending from the Ouida taproot. Kaabamanu raced for: three years in the Dominion before being sent across to the stud ,in Australia, and she was a winner of a.. minor ovent at Hastings in 1925. Mr. Hennah,iy breeding from her ia-Aus-' tralia, arid some others of her' progeny will probably make their appearance later on. Gold Mag was well spoken of from Hastings early last season, but in the Do* minion he had five fruitless starts. It is aid that his wind is not too good.

NOTES FROM HUTT PARK

Conditions' for training were perfect at Butt- Park, last Saturday; morning. Owing to • the heavy rain and. frosts recently, work was'-restricted to the cinder track.

The first to work were'Logan's Pride and Glenrossie; who covered two. miles at a strong pace, finishing together. Lpgan's Pride ; 6eenled a'trifle lame when leaving the course. 7Glerirbssie, 'though he has not been in'work very long since his .-re-, cent spell, is coming on nicely and should improve *\vitb racing. The trotter, Drusern, and David McElwyn covered, a niile. and a half together; Both gave a good display, the trotter showing good action and speed for a novice. Drusern is. owned 'by Mr; F. S. Hewer, a popular steward of . the Wellington Trotting Club.. ■■-..• Elfigy covered two miles at three-quarter pace and made no mistakes. Murchiines and the-MaXegih-r-Miss Havoc colt in the -same stable : covered a mile and a half, both; moving well and finishing strongly; It ..is unfortunate that the colt has no classic .engagements,>» he promises to turn out a bnlliant customer.

-A Maxegin-^-Lady-Tory:filly made .her first appearance on the track on Saturday. .She, is a straight-put trotter, and although only a youngster has a beautiful style of moving, somewhat resembling her sire's.; ■. ',■■•;' .-.'.. , - ■' ■
