Many of this season's batch of rising two-year-olds, who
will have their first public outings in October, are already
training on the tracks at Headquarters.
This season trainers have broken in and educated their,
youngsters much earlier than usual Some of them are
already very well forward.
Early education should greatly improve the quality of the early two
year-old events in the new season.
Youngsters will have much more experience of track and racecourse
conditions when they start racing. ?:
??Hie new batch is the most promising. -even -if the most expensive, on
record. . *- ,
Most of them are West Australian- bred and they show exceptional
quality. ' ' ,., , x ?_ *
Among the imported youngsters, most forward are likely to bejmo
New Zealand-bred gallopers being prepared by H. H. Bowen for Mr
E. A. Bowler. i
The pair have been Broken in and although they have not yet appeared
on the tracks, they are working kindly about the roads.
Among those already working freel y on the tracks are a pair by Camel
. hair, trained by J. Armanasco, a filly by Olympian from Blue Lake being
prepared by A. Armanasco, a filly by Camelhair from Pretty Pat being
educated by P. L. Denison, Air Flare's half -brother by Olympian trained
by E. McAuliffe. and Skyro's sister being prepared by B. Porter.
All are quiet, tractable and sensible, and 'their appearance and progress
are creating much interest.

ticket seller by the Boulder Racing
Club is not definitely known but it
was early in the century. He was
also engaged by the Kalgoorlie Racing
Club about the same time.
When fortnightly meetings be
gan in 1916 Moss Cohen was
transferred to the totalisator staff
of both clubs. During the whole
of the 45 to 47 years he^ is not
known to have missed one meet
ing.
Born in London of Jewish parents
75 years ago, he spent his early years
in a London tobacco and fancy goods
warehouse. He came to the gold
fields as a young man 'soon after the
discovery of Coolgardie.
Two other long-service employees
on the totalisator staff are manager
Griff Richards, manager since 1919,
whose employment dates back to
1907, and W. Goulden, who joined
the staff about the same time. Both
have been continuously employed
since.
