" Gold Lace l-.if was working well and doing some good gallops. v In the Rosehill Handicap,, just a week after her i'/.Arrival : in Australia, she cut out 14 furlongs with 8, Jfet'Slb oh her back/in godd time, leaving a field is of 19 others in the race. ' However, the mare got, !e boxed 'up-and'did. hot/seem to gallop well. We ** had. a, try in the" .Handicap. She carried' * 9st 71b, top Weight (iltoHe more than any of the ' n 20 others),, and.";'she . ran:: second to Squarious. 8. At Rosehill she s -carried lOst 31b in the seven furlongs :; and lOst 131b in the . six ; i; furlongs. That shows you how ■ heavily they--10 weight our horses over there. They give us top : weight in New: Zealand,' and over there they stick' on another stone. 7; Gold Lace," Mr. Hall went on •t to say, " started seven times and won once. For a week or so t*r her arrival she ran well, but 2 tho change of climate, colds, etc., caused the mare, in common with other New Zealand horses, 3 to go to pieces.' He was told that the only Way K to get over this was to send the horses over B ; three months ahead to get them acclimatised." Mr. Hall also had hard luck with Masonic, The pony turned out a-quarter of an inch above the y pony standard. -Masonic won a race at Hawkes- J 'ft bury, beating 21 horses and putting up good " time,.
