MASTER DASH FOOTSORE

(Rec. 9.0). MELBOURNE, Feb. 21. Mr Peter Louis, owner of Master Dash, is flying to Australia to see his horse run in the Futurity Stakes. He will find the horse slow and sore, according to the latest reports. The soreness is from the hard tracks, and he has been unable to do the fast preparation for the Futurity Stakes. The trainer, Mr H. R. Telford, is not keen to run him, and will confer with Mr Louis on his arrival tomorrow morning. Mr Louis intends to study the Australian tifof with a view to sending his best horses here to race when opportunity offers.
