THE BUZZER GONE SOUTH

In addition to a number of horses who raced at Trentham, The Buzzer was shipped south to Riccarton on Wednesday night. He is in great order at present and his connections will be most disappointed if he does not run a great race in the New Zealand Cup next Saturday.

It is not generally known what a fine trial he put up in the Waverley Cup last Monday. His rider, the stable apprentice, D. Redstone, was under definite instructions to hold him till the straight. It became a job and a half to do that, as the others were all on a great loaf However, Redstone managed to throttle him down till the proper moment, and when the gelding was moved off the rail he proved capable of outsprinting Rollicker, which in itself was no mean task under such circumstances.

Mr. W. E. Kemball, who for many years has been one of Australia's biggest owners, told a Melbourne writer that the reason he was selling the whole of his racing stock on November 8 is that he feels that after 30 years on the Turf he needs a spell. "There is no other reason behind my retirement from racing," said Mr. Kemball "Simply I am a little weary of the game. I have no stud stock at all. having sold the mares I possessed some years ago." Mr. Kemball, unlike some owners who threaten retirement, does not consider that his retirement will L make any difference to the sport.
