ON WINGATUI TRACKS
MARY PRATT SCRATCHED
(Special to the "Evening Post.")
DUNEDIN, This Day.
For horses racing at Oamaru on Saturday the outside (50 feet out) of the course proper at Wingatui yesterday morning was available for fast work. After a very heavy dew the going was slightly soft on top.
Final Bell was going a little better than Great Pal when concluding five furlongs in lmin lOsec.
Under restraint all the way, Cherry Queen covered six furlongs in lmin 25sec.
The horses with no immediate engagements galloped on the inside grass, where the going was firmer.
Salmo Salar easily beat Golden King over six furlongs in lmin 19sec.
Pink Del ran well over seven furlongs to record lmin 34sec.
Song Boy, left half a dozen lengths behind Paladino at the half-mile, and ridden out, beat Paladino home by a neck in 51sec.
The Smuggler waited with 'The Jeweller when running five furlongs in lmin 9sec.
Te Ahuarangi, who will race as a jumper from now on, was schooled over four of the big fences. He jumped the first two very well, but hesitated before attempting the others. Nevertheless, he shows promise.
Mary Pratt was not rehandicapped for her wins at the Cromwell Meeting, as she has been scratched for Oamaru.
