PLUTUS FORWARD

HAROLD GUY'S PROSPECTS

Subsidy, a pacer who displayed great promise until, going amiss, has had one race this season, but he will probably be seen out again early in' the new term. He has been back in work again for some months, and to this stage has given no signs of the lameness which was the cause of his long absence. Harold Guy continues to please in his work at Addington, and although week h° ft *c trS Cks °Ver the Past X2S *haf n l ot- other than mmHL taS iks H mg,done he has been moving along freely. He is nicely Sw d °V hf- owning day of the AdS^fffiSSJ. and he wm hav*a C. S Donald has had Plutus back in work for some, weeks now in preparation for August racing, and the Nelson Derby horse is in great orde? His trainer has found it difficult to ?« Vt- v tYi e wo-rk necessary to get him to his best owing to the wet tracks, well hewS mrlcing hand and doe* Big Nelson was recently sent to Oamaru to be trained by A. Henderson, but that trainer was not greatly impressed with him, and he was recSw^T* v owner. On occasions the gelding has shaped fairly, but he is not an attractive mover «and has reached an age when he cannot be expected to improve. After a period away from racing Bmgen Palm will probably make his reappearance at Addington next month. His form during the present season has been poor, but he was recently transferred to R. J. Humphreys's stable and is reported to be showing some of his! old dash again.. j RELATED TO FINE ART. | Q£ .?°i hi? g l i/?MT a serious nature has been asked of Millimetre since she returned to the tracks, but this three-year-old half-sister to Fine Art has done well and she is developing into an attrac-! tive filly She is a good pacer, andj time should find her proving at least US 61 Hi. j Mohican has indulged in a good deal! of solid work in recent weeks, and this I trotter is looking exceptionally well at the moment. *His form since being transferred from the pacing ranks has been most attractive, and he is now handily placed in the handicaps' to show to further advantage. Although he does not claim an engagement on the opening day of the August Meeting, it is expected that Nelson Eddy will be seen out on the concluding days of the fixture. During the season now almost at an end he stamped himself an outstanding juvenile, and he has-the qualifications necessary to reach the best classes. Not a great deal has been seen of Tonee since he returned to his owner at Addington, but he is again moving along attractively after a spell. Early this season he gave indications of being above the average, and he should now be improved. E. Carlyon is handling a rising two-year-old filly by Gaillard from Erin's Lynn, a useful mare in her day. This filly has a good deal of quality and gives promise of - developing early I speed. She is the first of her sire's stock to put in an appearance on the local tracks, and for that reason she has been given wide attention. Gaillard, a brilliant but unsound pacer, is by Rey de Oro from Bonny Logan, and he has the credentials of a good sire. ENGAGED AT ADDINGTON. Both Bittersweet and Te Kahu are freely engaged at the coming Addington Meeting, and these trotters have been doing well in their work to this stage of their preparation. Bittersweet is honest and solid, and, although she has now reached a mark from which she will not win out of her turn, her reliableness makes her a good proposition. Te Kahu, on the other hand, has yet to reveal his best, and it is expected that he will prove a good: stake-winner in the coming season. Tan John has had only one outing since coming to Canterbury to join C. S. Donald's stable. He compiled a consistent record in the North Island until J a tight mark restricted his opportunities, and, although he is now rising 13 j years, his connections consider that he! has bright prospects in the coming! season. When first placed in work Smile Again gave promise of proving a goodl mare, but her record to date has not been greatly impressive. She has won two races in minor company without giving out any great hopes of getting much further in the handicaps. However, she is a good pacer, and it is considered that time will prove to her1 advantage. A sister to Grand Mogul, J she is being spelled at the moment and will be taken in hand again early in the new season.
