TROTTING NOTES

NEW BRIGHTON CANDIDATES FREE LOGAN'S MISSION PROSPECTS IN SADDLE RACE BY ABAYDOS The presenco of Free Logan in the saddlo raco at tho New Brighton trotting meeting to-morrow will invest tho event with a certain amount of interest for Aucklanders. Free Logan performed creditably on several occasions last season and ono of his six victories was accomplished in saddle. Just before the Canterbury Park Winter Meeting ho ran a very attractive mile trial in saddle at Claudelands, and his passage for Addington was at onco booked. Then a sensational trial in tho South by Soma Guy caused C. Moran to chango his plans and Free Logan remained at home, while Somo Guy duly won both saddle races at tho meeting. All that is required is a smart, move-away for Free Logan to trouble tho best of tho opposition . to-morrow.

In spite of the fact that ho has no twomiles testimonials, the emarfc four-year-olii pacor Eureka Boy will have a largo following in tho chief event, the Burwood Handicap. .Eureka Boy, who is by Guy Parrish from Ravon's Girl, a descendant of Rothschild, displayed high-class form at Addington last month, winning over a mile and a-half and a mile and a-auarter. On a good track he ran home in 3.19 4-5, and, as he won easily by eight lengths, it was a sterling performance. Eureka Boy is bred on good lines for staying and must bo given an excellent chance. His party is evidently well satisfied with his possibilities off a 4.40 mark, as he figures on tho front of the Bollard Memorial Handicap, 4.38 class, at Wellington on September 10. Wrecker's Performances

One of the most consistent improving pacers last season was Wrecker, and while he failed to win a race at Addington Inst month he put up a very useful performance on the final day. Handicapped on 4.-10 in the Islington Handicap, ho finished second to Tactless, registering 4.31 3-5, the winner going 4.29 2-5 from a 4.38 mark. "Wrecker, who ia one of W. J. Tomkinson's team, should be improved by the. racing and is likely to run prominently in to-morrow'a principal race. Another Burwood Handicap candidate %vho is entitled to a good deal of respect is Waj Paint, a four-year-old son of Man o' War and Mag Tracey. Last season War Paint and another Man o" War pacer, Seaworthy, were trained by A. Rattray at Gore and they won teveral useful handicaps in the far South. War Paint competed at the last Addington meetinir and on the final day finished third to Tactless and Wrecker over two miles, recording 4.31 4-5, a little slower than Wrecker. Botn horses started on oven terms, but to-morrow Wrecker is conceding War Paint 12 yards. Bracken, who compoted at tho To Aroha trotting meeting last April, is nicelv placed on a 2.49 mark in the Wainoni Handicap at New Brighton. Bracken created a pleasing impression by lier solid racing and was placed fourth in tho Te Aroha Cup, for which she started favourite, in the memorable finish when Kewpie's Guy. Mr. Penalty. Arabond and Bracken passed the post almost in line. Again elected favourite for the Farewell Handicap, she ran a fine race to bo beaten into second place at the finish bv First Flight, who ran 2.46, remarkable time on the To Aroha course. In registered 2.47 3-5 Bracken also recorded a splendid effort, and in the same form she would have good prospects to-morrow. Giro and Tempest Giro, winner of the New Zealand Derby, and Tempest, who was successful in the Great Northern Derby last year, are set to meet over a mile at New Brighton, Tempest conceding his rival 12 yards. The two met in the Advance Handicap at Addington last month, but neither gained a place. However, on the last day Tempest finished second to Eureka Boy in the Lightning Handicap, registering 3.21 2-5 from a 3.30 mark. Giro and Tempest were both bred at Durban Lodge, but Mr. Nicoll retained Giro and sold Tempest to Mr. G. J. Barton. Silver de Oro, winner of tho 1931 Sapling Stakes, who ran some useful races last Benson, is developing into a promising twomiles proposition and should add interest to the Burwood Handicap. At Addington last month she ran a creditable third to Gunfire and Rokona-in the Belgium Handicap, when eho was timed to go 4.34 2-5. At Carterton Inst March she won the Mangapari Handicap in hollow fash inn and was credited with running 4.32. As she will improve with age. Silver do Oro should do well this season. . Tho successful Ashburton sire \Vrack_ is well represented in the field, l ! at New Brighton, and in several events members of his stock appear to have very reasonable chances. Those to command attention are:— Improvers' Trot, Raclaim: Burwood Handicap. Wrecker; Beaview Handicap. Bettj; Wrack: Dash Handicap. Tempest: Wainoni Handicap, Bracken; Electric Handicap. Nimbus.

Indianapolis started twice Inst season for one win and a second, the latter in the New Zealand bapling Stakesi at Ashburton. He in by Wrack from Estella Amos and raced in the colours of Mr. A. J. Nicoll. ROYAL SILK'S PREPARATION ,T Br.vce, of Hornby, is keeping Royal Silk busy with a view to having the son of Silk Thread in the pink of condition for the New Zealand Trotting Cup. Royal bilk was much in the limelight last season, winning six races out of 12 starts. He is an easy liorse to train and his legs oiler no sign of resisting a preparation.
