GREYHOUND'S TRIP

OWNER'S BIG DEMANDS

(By "Rlbbonwood.";

A cablegram to the eiffset that the trotter, Greyhound will^ leave for New Zealand. early in December has been received in Christchurch from Mr. Robert A. Smith, of Los Angeles, but a member of the Inter-Dominion Championships Committee informs the "Evening Post" that the horse's owner is making big demands for appearance money and exhibitions, and that no finality in the arrangements has yet been reached. • If Greyhound does make the trip he will probably be accompanied by the pacer Cardinal Prince, lmin 58Jsec. All the usual quarantine regulations would be waived for the two horses, and they would be permitted to travel overland from Auckland to the Government's research station at Wallaceville, which is handy to Trentham. At Wallaceville they would have the benefit of grass paddocks, plenty of room for exercise, and constant veterinary supervision. Glenrossie earned £100 at the Cup Meeting. He took both the lap prizes in the Louissori Handicap on". Friday, and then finished a ;fair fifth; Like many another aged horse who has had to have a spell, he is not staying, nearly as well as of old. Gamble is as full of tricks as a grand slam of no trumps. He shirked his task under the-whip.in the New Zealand Cup, and w,hen going as fast as anything two furlongs from home in the Louisson Handicap he found an easy way out of chastisement by digging his toes in and ending- up in an inglorious tangle.
