PINK COAT COMING. TO CONTEST G.N. GUINEAS. The southern colt Pink Coat is coming to Ellerslie to contest the Great Northern Guisoas and he is expected to arrive this morainr in chare of E.

Those he defeated in his latest, outing v/ere certainly not a formidable crowd of sprinters, hat his performance indicated that he is going to be relatively as pood as a three-year-old ai! he was at two years old.

ZIRCON FOR SYDNEY. SHIPPED AWAY YESTERDAY, j The .juniper Zircon was shipped to Sydney by the Maheno yesterday, being ticcom • ptmit'd by his trainer, W. Garrett, and •jockey, E. Garrett. Zircon is to compete So the jumping events at the spring carnival at Hs-ndwick and his particular mission * will probably be the steeplechase events on the second and fourth days of the meeting As the gathering opens re?:t Saturday, he "will barely be there a week before he has his first race, and it might not be in his favour that' he will have to race at such short notice after his arrival. The big ftillow was in excellent form when he won the Grey Lynn Hurdles at Avotidale on Handay and should he display similar dash »t Kandwick he is likely to be very troublesome to his opponents. After his race at the beginning of the week he was given a ;/ dose of physic and was on the easy list for * few duys before leaving. It is understood that Zircon has been reasonably *eighted for his opening engagements on fiJtt other side and therefore he should b$ favourably placed to show form provided that his condition is right when he has to rae». It will be interesting to see how docs perform in view of the fact that hjw departure was left so late.
