TORO-KOURA AND COCKSURE
Although not raced, Toro-Koura .was at Oamaru, and was credited with running six furlongs after the last race on the first day in Imin 11 2-ssec. Unfortunately on Friday he was found to be suffering from a form of shoulder trouble, and it was deemed advisable not to take any risks by racing him on Saturday. The trouble is not considered likely to have any serious check on his preparation for Easter racing, and it is hoped that he will contest the Great Easter Handicap, in which he will be bracketed with Cocksure. ToroKoura will be ridden by M. Caddy, but a lightweight boy has not yet been secured for Cocksure. This bracket should be a powerful combination over seven furlongs, and is likely to be m keen demand.
