A LOOK AT THE

OUTSTANDING PONIES TO RACE HERE

Candidates for Annual Race Meeting

RECORDS MAY ALL BE LOWERED

(BY

"MORNING DEW”)

Following the article last week on the Derby pros. "pects, I shall deal briefly this week with the new Austras lian ponies that are to race here for the first time in February at the Annual Race Meeting,

The consensus of opinion among those who have are bead and studied the newcomers is that they shoulders better than the Australian ponies we have seen racing here for the past three years.

Their training performances, in some instances, have been staggering and it looks very much as if the existing records will all go by the board.

The whole batch is of a

good class, and that being

he case, the Australian pories of former seasons will be

in a bad way indeed when ney come to race against the 1934 ponies.

He has shown quite good work in his training gallops and that probably account- ed for the brisk bidding yesterday: Beginning with a bid of 850 the price went up by leaps and reached. bounds until $700 was

Then there were just two bidders and by advances of $10 a time, the price ultimately reached $1,030 when the pony was knocked down to Mr. LA Shiu Pang.

The racing community will be particularly glad to hear this, for in the past the Dunbar" stable has been absolutely out of luck with regard to Australian Princess Angeline and ponies should prove of some compensa- tion to them for their continued interest in Australians.
