Potter's rising two-year-old colt Clogher, by Colossus from Sanguinaria, broke away from his attendant while being led on the road on Tuesday and knocked himself about a good deal before being recaptured. As a result his early education has been interrupted and he ia to be indulged in a spell before being taken in hand again. A rising two-year-old filly by Gainscourt from a Potoa—Cadence mare in one of the* latest juveniles to bo handled at Ellerslie and she is being educated by R. E. Brown, who had considerable success a few years ago with Boomerday and Gala Day. The newcomer is small, but very neat, and is a chestnut. Tasks of a light nature only havo been allotted to Master Brierly since his two unsuccessful outings at the recent winter meeting and he is thriving on the treatment. Master Brierly has shown marked improvement, during tho past few months and the fact that ho is becoming more robust all the time augurs well for his I>rospects as a four-year-old next season. He has been nominated for tho principal handicap events in Australia in the spring and. all going well, will probably do some racing thoro early next season. Plans for Chief Cook It is not intended to race Chief Cook again until next eeason and for tho present he is doing iust sufficient to keep him in good healthy condition. Chief Cook has raced consistently, but somewhat unluckily, in his latest engagements, but has paid his way Binco coining to Ellerslie and should be u good prospect for tho new season, 'lhe fact that ho is not' a smart beginner has been against him ni some of tho big fields ho lia3 encountered,, but he has shown his ability to get 10 iurlongs solidly and there" should be plenty of opportunities to place him to advantage. . , . f , V. The two-year-old Light Brigade, by .Night Raid from. .Lady Greyspear, continues to thrivo on the useful work he is being allotted by R. S. Bagby and is developing into a fine colt. At present he is rather burly but he should bo in fine order to go ahead with a eerious preparation when his trainer decides to move lnm alon£ in earnest, A very patient policy .has been pursued with Light Brigade and h.s phyeica development lately suggests that lie . Will b No ll young be ho"e f °at'Ellerslie is thriving better than Deputy Ruler, who haa urown and furnished considerably since _ the autumn, and should bo a handsomethree-ycar-old. Deputy Ruler proved in his. races this season that he was a good Galloper and he should again prove profitablem e new term All continuing well v-'th him, ne shoul'd be a very worthy candidate for tho Avondalo and Great Northern Guineas, the first of the spring classics for three-j earold in Auckland. King March's Condition The rising two-year-old gelding by Kilbroney from" Joy Queen that isbe.ngtrained by F. Gilchrist was very backwaid in cmdftion when first taken, m liand.but Jus week's and d is building UP pleasingly.
