Trotting

(By "The Toff.") New Brighton on Saturday. Naplarid and Wildbine area pair of useful green trotters. Harley Dillon gave a creditable exhibition at Forbury. Bins.earth is getting dirty at the pest. Audacious has improved a ton under Ossie Hooper. Provided he leaves the mark nicely, Tajero will give them the stitch m the big event on Saturday. Dalnahine is a solid customer who v/on't permit of any loafing or toddling m the big race at Brighton. Squatter is a good horse over two miles m saddle, but it is a long time since he .had a race. Hullo! Glenelg at Brighton. Jjick Potts will have his Sunday clothes on at New Brighton, and again the stars and stripes will be" flying. One would pick Peter King to be m a hurry over one mile m saddle. Talent is a much improved pacer. His Dunedin showings were a credit to Harry Frost. Willie Logan went two good races at Forbury. He will be a nuisance shortly. Lord Bingen can go fast, but as yet he is not ready to go a distance. Lady Joan won both big races at Dunedin. She went 4.29 3-5 on 'the second day. Delavan Quest chased her home after registering 4.28,4-5 for the journey. Dolly Dillon is racing very consistently. A good stake is m view for her. , Great Epsom had every chance' on the second day at Dunedin, but he simply wasn't good enough. What a speed merchant Peter Bingen is. ' Fancy Pointer lacks stamina. She might pick up a mile race. Rosie Nut has improved m manners. She won like a real mare at Forbury, and has only to repeat her performance to win more races. Barcelona has settled down. He wont two good races at Forbury. Over ten furlongs he looks a moral. When Locanda Queen carries a professional rider she. will win. Paradox was chaos for the punters at" Dunedin. She is as yet only moderate. Bright Bell seems to get all tied up m a race. She simply cannot go within coo-ec of what she goes at home. Wildbine was a home and dried proposition at Forbury. He was first out and simply jogged the, rest. Nelson's Guest is improving with racing, but he is still apt to fly off his feet for nothing. Gold Chimes is improving with age, and it will be difficult to deprive him of a race at Christmas time. Bright and cheery is Asturio, but somehow he seems unable to go with his younger rivals on race days. Western Don was backed as if he could win at Winton, but he took fright at the start, and soon put himself clean out of court. .Pr.oud Ata is m nice order. The recent racing has done him a lot of good. Escort is pacing well m his track essays, but he will never improve much on anything he has done. Joe Deyell has the spectators at Aclctington tickled to pieces over the ability /V his three-year-old trotter is displaying... It is by Nelson Bingen from Winiata and is a particularly well-grown and quality looking youngster. ' A likely kind of a maiden pacer is Logan Boy. And his trainer is giving him every opportunity to make gdbd. F. Holmes has, m his stable a fine upstanding two-year-old; an own brother'to Lady Joan. *Ernie Berry is doing a bit with Logandale. The full brother to LoganwOod is going nicely. The one-time erratic pacer Passionwood is fast settling down under the patient persuasive measures . of Dave Kerr. . Marion Style 'seems to be getting eolid. At any rate she has not been sent home to Australia.' She is a regular attendant at Addington. Since the Cup meeting, Sheik has been on the easy list. He looks nice and bright and is to be got ready for the Canterbury Cup. ....-.' Vera Logan is a much improved pacer and one who will be: a nuisance to the opposition at New Brighton. The Australian pacer Orion went to pieces prior to the Cup meeting at Addington and had to be spelled. Riddle intends making smother start on him r-ext'week^: , : -; .'/ \ ' \- : -. ' '■ An- every day sort is kelpie. A real working man's hotfse. • ■' .What a .beau ty Mpneyspider will be ,w,hen he settles down. Desborough is afeood pacer, but he was more m stallion condition than racing '•.■•order at Forbury. Lenamhor failed badly at Forbury. It is evident that he was not »himself. Locanda Dillon is like yesterday— off the calendar as far as racing purposes are concerned. Real Lady is a nice trotter, but she is as yet far from solid m harness.

Master Peter, who is owned by a Dunedin sportsman, has come north io go into J. N. Clarke's stable.

Bicolour and Lady Nan have rejoined Phil Green's team at Palmerston North.

The Greymouth trainer, Fred Gilbert, has a big team m. work. Among them is Velocity, who looks a picture.

The ancient pacer Lord Lytton is m work again under T. Lalor. He is m good trim and off his present mark he always has a chance of collecting a dividend. -» ' ■ .

A brilliant pacer is Lady Peterson, and she is at home on any kind of track. The rougher it is, the better she likes it.

Have you heard of Ocean Whispers? Well, the heads say she is the goods. And the tails are a bit with them.

Quite a good "sort is Locanda Boy, and his people have to be unlucky to miss a dividend at the Westport fixture.
