At Te Aroha he was inner-up to Brutus, and considering •; ie peter Moko gelding was sufferjig from foot trouble it was a fine performance- After that. however, eter showed a disinclination to leave 19 barrier and this probably cost him me good races. When he went away orrectly at Claudelands he met two ood and improving ones in Warane and Morning Sun. to push him to third berth, belyn Locanda Evelyn Locanda, while only win--in? one race last season, was several mes in a minor place, thus living up :o her reputation for consistency. Her table companion Pavlova, after scorns two impressive victories, added tree other placings to her list and the two mares credited their popular porting owner, E. H. Cucksey. with £6l), Evelyn scoring a century more tfca the handsome black mare. Both aw getting into good shape for the resb season and should again carry the “red and gold chequers” well to the fore.

Paradigm The solid plugging square-gaiter Paradigm had quite a successful season and netted owner Benjamin close on £6OO for the year. The son of Childe Audubon was a clear-cut winner three times, while on eight other ititasions he filled a monetary poisi’’•on and twice was only beaten by ?heer bad luck. While Paradigm may never reach Rowe Cup class, he promises to go father along the road .hat leads to success “Benjie” deserves his share, too, as he is one of the Whitest” of white sportsmen. Despite the fact that Rose Bingen won one heat for the year, her three seconds at Christmas time helped to augment her winning sum to £6lO. With a proper application of reason on the part of the adjuster at the December fixture Rose would have had a better record for her final year on the track. However, she '•aced consistently and gamely, and the daughter of Nelson Bin3«n will always be classed as one of the sturdy trotters of the Auckland Province. Warspite

Warspite had a great trot during as a place-getter, and after onng a good list of seconds and •irds he captured a stake while in J. hands. Toward the end of m season he was in J. T. Paul’s nar S® a nd put up a fine effort in the ■•• terns Memorial Cup to get the third of the prize. To be beaten J Pacers of the Harold Logan and nawah calibre was certainly no disWarspite will probably be ard from again in the new season. Gr «at Peter Great* Peter only won three events •nng the season, but he accomplished s successes in such a high class -won *hat it is difficult to say just T brother to Great Bingen Feter Bingen is. Had he not n so unfortunate later in the season,

Early in aS ,° n Nelson Bingen horse splendid form and won over

both sprint and long journeys. He was not seen at his best during the winter session, but W. Brain, who is very attentive to his charge, is getting the speedy customer into good shape and she promises to be on deck again when the classes are suitable. Great Parrish In earning over eleven hundred pounds for owner J. T. Paul, the three-year-old Great Parrish last season put up a fine record. He scored three first certificates, Including the “blue riband** of the North, while he was placed on a similar number of occasions. The son of Guy Parrish and Bertha Belle will not race till later in the new season, his owner having decided to give the handsome colt light stud duty. Hal Chimes Hal Chimes went through the season just terminated without once bowing to the judge as a winner. However, the Hal Zolock gelding ran some sterling races and seven times he finished in the money to hand over to his owners a cheque for £335. The speedy pacer was placed over all distances and it was just bad luck that he did not break the icc for a straight out win. He is now an inmate of Sid August's stable, and perhaps the change of venue will result in a change of fortune. Had he been a generous customer, however, A. Broughton would have won some good stakes with him. Native Prince Fc-r three firsts and eight minor placings the Epsom-trained horse Native Prince credited his owner, Mrs. Sweetapple, with £1,200, and finished up the season qualifying outright for the New Zealand Cup. When J. S. Shaw’s brilliant pacer unwound a two mile effort of better than 4.25 on the Forbury Park track, he fractured previous records for the journey on Dunedin’s trysting ground. Since his Southern success, Native Prince has been under D. Bennett’s care at Addington, while trainer Shaw was in Auckland attending to other members of his team. Te Wahia

Alan McMillan purchased Te Wahia early last season for a moderate figure and the gelding proved a useful breadwinner, his total reaching a score beyond £SOO. The son of Our Thorpe did remarkably well in saddle heats for the Tamahere trainer, who also rode him to good advantage. Te Wahia was responsible for a solid two mile

effort in the Thames Cup. where he got third money, but whop strongly fancied for the big event later at Cambridge, he let his party down. However, he may make amends in this direction early this season. NEARLY A THOUSAND McKENDRICK BROS.’ TALLY TWO SMART PERFORMERS Another five pound note added to one of the prizes secured by McKendrick Bros, last year would have registered a four-figure cheque. The chief contributor was the trotting mare Linnett the Great, brought from England by F. J. Smith, who scored two firsts, a second and a third with her after the Epsom sportsmen had purchased her. The promising filly by Blue Mountain King, First Flight, scored two victories and earned a third berth, also in Smith’s hands, the pair registering £730. Place money by Free Advice accounted for the balance. The latter is in work again, but will join W. J Tomkinson’s stable if the Addington trainer decides to settle at Epsom. Failing this, the mare will go South to join his string. First Flight is how owned by Mr. Wilfred Johnstone, while Linnett the Great is having an easy time for the present. “OPTIMISTIC” GEORGE

A “LION-HEARTED” TRAINER SPEED KING BACK AGAIN Geo. Stubbs, known to Epsom trotting enthusiasts as “the optimist” and “the lion-hearted," has taken Speed Kins up again after a spell. The son of Our Thorpe did not succeed in winning a stake last season, or in fact the previous one either. In March, 1926, the big gelding won a mile and a-half at Thames off 3.41, going approximately 3.39. A year later on the same course. Speed King won a two mile heat off 4.51. taking two seconds longer to go the journey. Since then he has tailed to catch the judge’s eye, so if tile mis-named gelding should be round about the end of a 3.40 heat at Epsom no one would complain or take much notice of him. Stubbs has a two-year colt under his care that is bred on good trotting lines. He is by Aerial Bingen from a Gold Bell mare, whose dam was the well-known successful trotter of a few years ago.
