Trotting Notes

Happy KiiW 'fhe Southland-owner] pacer Happy Knight who won af Brighton on Saturday- is now trained at. Prebbleton by E. J. 'Smit li. Happy Knight won se vera l races in Sou thia nd, arid m'atle many friends by his good performance

at Addington in August. He is at home on any kind of course, ami can go well iu saddle and in harness. For (New Zealand: It is reported that Mr. 11. Rudd has left Tasmania On route for New Zealand with Evicus, Emilius Way. and Jcevus. The last-named, by Globe Derby from Milky Way, is a full-broth-er to the famous Evicus, the mare that has performed so well all over Australia ami New Zealand and capped everything by pacing a mile in 2mm 3sec against time in Perth. Iccvits, only a. three-year-old, and, like his dam, a cream in colour, won a double at Elphin just prior to his departure. The youngster evidently has a lot up his sleeve to warrant the expensive journey to New Zealand. RACING FIXTURES October 16, 17—Mastortou Racing Chib. , t , October 17—South Canterbury Jockey Club.
