A THREE THOUSAND GUINEA COLT.
The imported three-year-old colt Spanner (The Nut—Dudu), who up to the recent Wellington meeting had raced iv the coluors of Mr E. W. Alison, junr., of Auckland, was on Friday of last week sold to Mr W. Richmond, of Hastings, Cor the sum of 3,000 guineas. The colt is question has same fairly creditable performances to his record this season, and after his wins at Takapuna, Claudelands and Ellerslie, and his second to SasanofF in tho Thompson Handicap at Trentham last Thursday, it can be taken for granted that Mr Richmond,* who is ono of the shrewdest judges of horseflesh in the Dominion, has not committed an error of judgment in paying such a handsome price. Prior to the Takapuna meeting in January, Spanner could have been purchased for 1500 gns.
