HE WILL BE ALL RIGHT
Commendation Is To Make The Trip Over The Tasman
The ' ' ink slinging that sta rted when Commendation was a two-year-old still continues.
HAVING turned out to be all that his critics said he wouldn't, they are now hinting at every opportunity ' that he will not make the Sydney trip. . , Only the other day the, hope Was expressed "that all would go well with him m the meantime." /-■ •■-•-.-. To that critic it can be; told that all is going- well "m the meantime," . and that unless the Limond gelding falls down and breaks his neck— and how joyful would be some people,!— he will be off to Sydney this month. His owner is not going across.but as he 'sEid -at Trentham on Tuesday the horse is — "it was always my intention to send him oyer." "Snow" Morris will go over later to do the riding, perhaps a fortnight beforohand.. . Commendation's, programme has been mapped out- and it is a fairly extensive one. - V '. " .. : On the appearance of the Caulfield Cup weights m which Commendation was awarded 8.13 it was generally recognised iii New Zealand that he would be, hard to beat , m that race.
His owner is of tha^opinion also and he is going to send his horse for the race. : His first race will be m the Chipping Norton Stakes at Warwick Farm on September 3 and? then a week later he will contest the Chelmsford Stakes at Tatt's meeting. Oh v September 17 he will be a runner m the Rawson - Stakes at Rosehill and then he will have a spell till the A.J.C. . Spring Stakes on the opening day of the Sydney meeting. His) Sydney campaign, will close on the third day of the Randwick •. meeting ■with ;•'. a race m the Craven Plate and he : will then go to Melbourne to get his firtal work for the Caulfield Cup. On his running m that race will depend whether or 1 no he is to run m the Melbourne Cup, but. at present the , chances are that he will not. \ '. By the time Commendation has finished, that programme he may '! give his critics some reason to write him down^ Then again he ' may give them a headache. .; .'.'.',■'
