TROTTING BREVITIES

The manner in which Zincali outstayed the field in the Manawatu Trotting Cup on Saturday suggested, that he is on the way to the tightest classes. Racing has improved his barrier mannersj- . .

Bonny Pointer failed at Awapuni, ibtit will lose no friends by her efforts. If taken to the Taranaki fixture she should make amends.

Southern reports credit Speedy Boy with Showing fine speed in his training essays, and he should get some money at the Inter-Dominion Championships at Addingt,on. Prior to the Auckland Summer - Meeting, he had , taken a faster record over two miles than Lawn Derby, and the latter was equal to going 4min 17sec at Epsom. ' ~ Tonee set the" opposition a difficult ttask when he trotted 3min 31 2-ssec i off » 3min 49sec mark at Awapuni. [Few trotters go this fast in their first [success. There is a good future in i store for him. : ■

Two minor piacings were registered by Vanora at the Manawatu Meeting, but he is only a one-pace horse, and will not go far in the sport, even though he should be equal to winning a maiden event.

A nice type of two-year-old in Zingarri was produced at Awapuni, and although hot among the" leaders, he displayed a fine action.' He should not be hard to place,, to advantage, and may develop into one of the best of his age this season.
