TROTTING
A "RING-IN” SENSATION IN WEST AUSTRALIA PROMINENT NEW ZEALAND MARE PERTH, June 15. A sensation has been caused in sporting circles by the announcement that a prominent New Zealand trotting mare had been rung-in in the Eastern States and West Australia. It is alleged that the mare was landed in West Australia last year under the name of Gathered Gold. The mare lost her first race by being pulled from one side of the track to the other, but she won the second so easily that the stewards disqualified her and her nominator for two years for not having tried the first time. The mare was sold for £5O and the vendors left the State. The trotting officials became suspicious, instituted inquiries and kept the horse in a private stable. A recent arrival from New Zealand recognised the horse as soon as he saw her. It is alleged that she won races in other States under another name, and that the New South Wales Trotting Association will take action for alleged ringing-in. It is reported that the New South Wales Association refused registration after the mare’s arrival from New Zealand. She then raced in the country districts under another name, subsequently racing in Victoria, New South Wales, as Gathered Gold.
