South Auckland Scratches

(From "N.Z. Truth's" South Auckland Rep.) THE latest attempt to train Black Cruiser has failed and the Te Awamutu jumper is back m the paddock. l ■ * ■ • '■ • Prince Lv is being sent over the hurdles at Cambridge. The Lucullus gelding should gather some money at the new business. . • . #■ - • "Wiltshire and Pendavies, the Te Rapa -trained pair m the Northern Steeples, are going , along the right way. Wiltshire may be the stable elect on the day. * •*■. ■ •' Athenry and Glena Bay, from M. Carroll's team, are entered at Otaki. The former gave himself a knock recently, but if it is all right m time the trip will be kept. • ' * .■'•,.■;■. There was plenty of Te Aroha money for Tea Time at Wanganui. The Tea Tray gelding will be worth keeping attention riveted on.' The rising two-year-old Lord Quex — Salvette, which was purchased at the January sales at Trentham for a Waikato owner, has been : named Gay Duke. He has been on the tracks at Te Rapa and moves nicely. • . •.•..-.■•. Ramblin* Kid is due m a minor hurdle race this season and it may not be long once he starts. ,- ■ • ;;■#.. ' * Transformer is still doing some work, but the Thurnham gelding can't have much chance m heavy Boing> • * ■■■''■• v Loma Doone has improved a good deal as the result of her recent racing. It should pay to keep note of the Lucullus fllly. ' . " "■■■•'., '"* . . '•'• A two-year-old which has grown a | lot is Havering. There should be some | good results from the Quin Abbey ; — Dreamer colt next season. , ■ ■ #■..:■.# . • • ■ There is mention of Farndon embarking on a cross-country career. The prospects, of tlie California gelding m this department are very problematical.
