An Unfortunatje Wino has been on the easy list since the Geraldine meeting, and veterinary attention had to be secured last week to deal with a poisoned leg caused by an injury received in the Geraldine Cup through one of his plates coming loose He was slightly lame on the second day of the meeting, but it was not until'he was back at Yaldhurst that anything serious became manifest. He will not be raced this month, and unless he makes a quicker recovery than at present anticipated, he may not be fit enough to do himself justice at the Now Zealand Cup meeting. Wino appeared to be in his best possible order when the set-back occurred, and it is unfortunate that his services will not he available for the Wellington meeting. His stable-mate, Mhitunga (brother to Gold Pit), was nominated for Trentham, but will now probably not make the trip. Ponty,. also trained by M. B. Edwards, is in isteady work. lie is to reappear at the Banks Peninsula meeting at the end of the month, and will race at the New Zealand' Cup meeting/ and present intentions 'are to take him to Ellerslie for the holiday racing there.
