TROTTING

Remember Imprint. * * * The three-year-old pacer Native Chief gave the opposition a taste of his quality when he won the Melrose Handicap at Riccarton. And he broke at the start and lost a lot of ground. What beats Native Chief m the Derbies will win. #.# # « : Ecstasy is evidently not as good as several led themselves to believe. * * * Crusader was always with the back division at the Ashburtoit meeting. I He will probably go better m saddle. * «■ a Tommy Bells is an everyday kind of a pacer that will soon get some money. w # # Bob Dillon is still as unreliable as ever. # # # Dusky Pointer raced well at the Ashburton Club's meeting. * * # The Thistle is still cranky. # * # Logan Maid is a speedy pacer, but a mile and a quarter will m future be her pet distance. She just struggled home at the Ashburton meeting. * * * Ashley Dillon had every chance m the. Selma Handicap at Ashburton, but with a mile covered he wanted a chair. He came home with the milkman. * >:* « Huon Hay is on the improve. He is bred to go anything. * # f There is a stake waiting for Wenlo. * * * Nepia is not lacing up. to his track form. ** • * Hope Dillon is speedy, but she is a bit tricky at the start. «= «= # Florrie Huon is a good pacer. She went a stunning good race at Ashburton. # * * Jimmy Br3 r ce has a real sort of a maiden m Guide Rangi. She is by Cathedral Chimes from Mountain Rose. # * # Bittern was unlucky to lose at the Ashburton meeting. He will be hard to beat the next time he starts. „ * . * * Miss Dorothy is. a clinking good maiden, and will be hard to beat the next time she goes to the races. <t # * Pedro Pronto is moving like a machine m his work) and kind of wants to bet that he will be darned hard to beat for first money m the Cup. *• ' # * Logan Chief pulled up lame one day last week, and so has been eased for treatment. « * *. Prize Pearl broke a bone m one of his fetlocks last week and had to be destroyed. # # # \ The ancient pacer August Dillon has again been recommissioned by N. C. Price at New Brighton. He is a bril-' liant gelding over short journeys m saddle, and it is only a question of him standing a preparation to win more money. # * * Talent is big and healthy after his rest, and is moving along m his work as if he likes it. .*. # # The trotting mare Helen Bingen is again associated, with J. N. Clarke's stable at New Brighton. She is a richly bred mare, being by Nelson Bingen from Helen Jane Stokes. *# ' * The three-year-old pacer William the Great is doing exceptionally well. He is engaged at Geraldine. * * * Prince .Lyons is now kidding to R. Berry, who will humor the cunning pacer and probably get him to race dinkum when the, money is m. *' *s t « Auto looks a new horse after his good spell. He is quite sound again, and will now set to work to do his popular owner useful service. Ouimet is as good as ever he was, if not' better, so look out. * it * St. Fillan has been thrown out of work with a view to getting some condition on him. He will not be required to -race . till late m the season. # # -# Herbilwyn is on the improve. If he keeps sound it will be a shame to take the money. # « >» Harley Dillon is not one of the robust kind, but he is one of those easy action pacers that covers the ground m faster time than one would think. # # , * Peter Bingen will be a profitable horse to follow this season. He looks the goods, and is the goods. * * * The American trotter Guy Parrish I is m capital order. He has thickened out a lot, and is getting 'sounder every day. 0 ' . # # Harry Frost is working a sister to Olive Huon that is showing a good deal of speed. * * * That good pacer Waitarere is fast getting into running shape. She is a good proposition. «■ * ' ♦ Ramaroa is doing all right for an old stager. He will pay his way, but is not a safe conveyance for punters. ##■ * , Albert Logan is enjoying his stay at the seaside, where he is hitting out m his work as if he will soon win more money. # * ■ * Ararawa is a smart pacer and a good stayer. She is acting mighty well m her work. Over a mile, gee, she will be hard to beat. #, * * My Sonny has left the paddock and is being hacked about prior to doing some real hard work. ■# # * Alto • Chimes has rejoined N. C. Price's stable at New Brighton. Another new addition to the same premises is the speedy Fancy Boy. * * * G. F. Robinson is keeping Hackthorne going with a view to trying him out at Timaru.

McDermott's stable. « * * Golden Sun has a good home. He is big and strong and ready to retrieve his losses at the August meeting. * * # Escort does not look as if he is enjoying the spring too well. The veteran appears to be fed up with the game. Olwyn is not wearing a happy appearance. The spring grass may put her right. # * * A four-year-old pacer by Logan Pointer from Fancy Girl has joined F. Holmes's stable. And a right good sort she is. #'* # , ' Don Wild is like an oil painting — all gloss and full of quality. He will get a lot of money this season. . ■ '# .* # J. Thomson has sold the three-year-old by El Carbine from a Bribery mare to a Blenheim sportsman. The youngster is a half-brother to Jean Logan. x #•*■#■ Wire is being given a lot of road work.

Greenhorn is getting on- nicely with Molly Pointer. He also has Rebel m nice order. «= * . # Pinevale has mended his Trays ' el lot. His trainer, G. S.

He has a good bit of speed and should pick up a stake for his patient owner. «■*■■* ' i Kean John is among the popular regular toilers at Addington. He is a real trotter and one that always has a chance. . : ##* • . Nelson Bell is a much- improved horse since his spell, and he now threatens to make a name for himself. # ■ * * Minton Derby is a daily attendant at Addington, where he is getting through a lot of slow solid work. So far he is keeping sound, and probably will continue to do so provided he is not hitched to go fast. #.« # . Napland is back at work. He must have been off color at the August meetings. That was not his form. # * # Bell Harold has enjoyed his short vacation, and is ready to go after the money m November. '
