PACERS MD TROTTERS

(By "The Eagle.") When Olson, the five-year-old son of Sonoma Harvester:- and Olive Huon, finished second to Real Belle/in both trotting events at the Wairarapa Meeting held at Hutt Park, ho gave promise ot developing winning form in, the near future. TIII3 promise he has now fulfilled) and after winning at Ashburton on April 22, lie was taken to the Forbury Paik Meeting last weekend, .and in winning the opening trotting event on each day's programme in easy fashion showed that his winning sequence is far from finished yet. Lough Guy, who won the prinripjJ hotting event on each day at Foibury Paik, had only recently made his re-' appearance after a two years' spell diir to unsoundness. When trained by I?. Townley in his younger days, Lough Guy wae highly thought of, and when White 1 Satin \\r>n "the Siics' Produce Tiottmg Stakea for three-year-old trotters in 1930, the son of Real tiuy—Lhivia do Oro dead-heated for second place with his stable-mate, Kilbirnie Dan. Curiously enough, Lough Guy's last winning, performance was a double one, iccorded at Forbury ParK Summer Meeting in January, 1931, whea he .scored in the Vauxhall and Waverlcy Handicaps. From the easy manner of his latest wins this trotter now looks like taking the very highest honours with the ■ unhoppled brigade. An entrant for the Advance Handicap at the Oamaru Trotting Club's Meeting on1 Saturday whose showing will be watched with • great interest is the two-year-old Guy Junior, whose performances since making his debut a couple of weeks ago have been brilliant ones. In recording .3min 24 2-osec when he ran third, at his first public appearance, to Goldficld at Ashburton, this full brother to Sir Guy broke the best previous time recorded by a two-year-old. The following week he was produced twice at the South Canterbury Meeting. On the first day, ia the Otipua Trot, he was unfortunate enough to be one of those who raced over a circuit of the course from a false start owing to the two back barriers failing to l please, and did well to finish fourth in the resulting race under the circumstances. On the second'day, in the Opihi Handicap, he took part in a great finish ■with two othcis of his own age, when all three further reduced the record for two-year-olds over a mile and a half. The winner. Village Guy, went 3min 23 .l-ssee, Guy Junior, 'beaten a length, 3min 23 3-Ssec, and Compass, third, 3min 23 4-ssec. As this was his third hard race within a week, and in each case against fields of all ages, it showed the youngster up as : something out of the ordinary. Another two-year-old engaged in the Advance Handicap who in highly thought of in the south i« War Buoy, by Man-o'-Wix —Little Kewpic. ' A. W. Broughton, who is now training Wilfred Johnrtoft's team at Tamahere, had a great innings' at the Cambridge Meeting, driving seven winners in the two days. ' ' The veteran, J. Bryce, travelled from Christchurch to Cambridge to steer Red ■ Hope to his first victory on Saturday' I last. Red Hope, who is the property of Mr. E. J. Parkes, is the only representative in New Zealand of J. Bryce's old champion,. Great Hope. Ui» dam v Jenny, Lind Jnr. He is now * five-year-old, but; unaoundness hag prevented him being raced much. i It looks as though F. J. Smith will get, ■ome more easy money at Auckland on Saturday with his American-bred mara Veil Volo, who figures on 12 yards in the Whitfoid Handicap.
