A CUP HORSE?
FORM OF CASANOVA
Judging by his display in the Avon- . more Handicap' at JMethven on Saturday Casanova is' a "Cup horse in. the making, says the "Press." At three years he looked like developing into a good pacer, but several disappointing displays^ last seasorulost, him many friends. This is the second race he has won. since joining L. A. Maidens's stable, and indications are that it is not: the last., He '-gave; away- 24 yards, and although he received a check half a mile from home, he quickly settled to his wprk again, and showed great speed :rdunding the turn' into' the straight. Once in line for home he was called on for a big effort, and; he responded in the gamest manner possible.' He fairly outstayed the others, and was forced to register 3min.2o 2-ssec from a 3min 32sec mark. Casanova is bred the right way for a Cup horse; he is by Wrack, and his dam, Pearlchild, was not only, a fine; racehorse, but she has proved one of the most valuable brood mares at the stud in New.Zealand.
