GOLDEN HUIA'S FIR§T WIN TROTTER BRED ON GOOD LINES Golden Huia, who won her first race at Epsom on Saturday, returning a large double-figures dividend, was bred by Mr. G. F. Lovegrove, who raced her for several eeasons without much success. She is by Gold Bell from Princess Huia, whose dam Betty, a daughter of Rothschild, was not raced. Huia. the sire of Princess Huia, was a very useful trotter in his day, and won some good races in Auckland. Golden Huia was leased this season by J. Mahoney, and gained eoine place-money on the country circuit, but as she was racing in a tighter class last week her prospects were not viewed in a favourable light. The marc was somewhat unlucky to scoro her first win in tho shorter-limit race, as the penalty 'she will receive will place her on a difficult mark for fnturo events. However, eho may show sufficient improvement to get another victory in her turn.
