T. ■ Jamieson was announced as, the buyer of the Limond—Veil colt^ who realised top price (2100 guineas); at the recent Trentham yearling, sales, it was concluded' that the colt had been secured for- one of his clients, though he declined to disclose the name of the principal. From what has been ascertained since, however, it is, by no means certain the Veil colt will be trained by-Jamie-son. It is understood he was acting under instructions from the owner's agent, the pnrnW e bei"g made on behalf of Mr E E Jolly, an Adelaide spoitsman, who has on other occasions paid big1 pi ices for New Zetland jeai lings The Veil colt lias for the time being gone to Mr John Donald's Westmere Stud, where hp will be broken in-before being sent to Austialia, and a suitable name is now beiug sought for him. - .TURF N^WS UN BRIEF V V \ '/- h __.
