GOOD-LOOKING COLT

LORD QUICK SCORES WELL

■;*■■ Lord Quick's good race into fifth ': place on tneopenirig day, when he was -.lone of the outsiders, elevated him to . favouritism in : the Novice and he duly won like a good L jcolt. Seventh to the straight, he again came home solidly, and when Alloa suddenly stopped near the post he was able to turn his effort into victory by a short neck. . \v This winner is a three-year-old colt - by Lord Quex from the Kilboy—Cerin- ' thia mare Pronto, descending from; an Australian family, that had not previously had aiiy success in the Domini ion. He is owned by his breeder, Mr. C. A. Cameron, and he is a good-look-:ving- sort .who should go on to better ■; deeds. In three starts last season he ..made no showings, but he has im■;.'proved, a I6t since he was last seen

..out in the late autumn. ;,,. Alloa looked all over the winner -when he raced past Diamond Cutter to the front in the straight, but he r stopped very, badly, over the last hundred yards. Rotama, carrying the same ;.,.colours as. West Tor and having his '. first race, did well to get up for third, as he was off. the course turning into the straight. Diamond Cutter showed a lot of speed, in racing round to the lead early..past Alloa, and he looks

like winning a maiden race very soon. The ■ Pawnbroker, thdugh right up , fifth, did not come on quite so well ; as on.; the firsts day.- Southern Blood, Lady Siegfried, and Gay Miilla were , -finishing on; and Toorak showed up till well into the " straight. Galtee- , more, Sir. Ronald, and. Mirth failed to turn handy positions to account, the first-named being'a decided dis- ', appointment. "■-.■• '■-*■■'-'■■ ■ • .
