Whispers From Wanganui

(From "NJZ. Truth's" Wanganui Rep.l" CEREMONY put up one or t wo,. bril- . liant gallops prior to the W&nga- , nui meeting, but failed to show his phenomenal speed m his only start-' The.Flying — m which event he stopped suddenly after going half a mile. * * ■■*.'. * Lady Pam is going to prove a much -improved filly this season, and she will take a power of beating m the Hawkes Bay Guineas, which will be her next race. * ' . *" * Cadland appears to be a sprinter pure and simple; He stripped m great order, at Wanganui, but he found seven furlongs too far for him. * * * The first time Korokio. was asked to gallop she displayed great speed, and some of her track work has been of a brilliant order. The sister to Fernden had no trouble m winning the Debutante Stakes last Saturday, : and she promises to be a good stake--winner. It Is- open to doubt, however,,, whether she will improve as much as some of the other youngsters seen put at Wanganui. * * .'•■''■ Pomp was unplaced m each of his starts at Wanganui, but he was mi- _ lucky on both days. He did not have t a good run the first day, and on Saturday vas squeezed out at the start to get into almost a hopeless poet- " J tion. The son of Absurd got up close to the placed horses. • . »- • Had Arisus won the Guineas/ for Mr. L. G- Paul instead of running second y it would have been a very popular vte-x tory. He scored, m the Trial on Saturday, and he looks like winning again . m the near future. : * * # ' Paratoo was not handled to the best advantage m tb,e Trial Handicap,' otherwise he must have given Arisus ;; a lot of trouble. ** • ' Gowanlea did not earn any money,; at Wanganui. He will not be lons m getting on the winning list if he races , up to a trial spin a day or two before y the Wanganui meeting. * # • .": There were a number of New .Zealand Cup candidates seen out at Wanganui, the only^one to score a win being Count .Palatine. V: '* * X* ' ' The Wanganui Club had drawn up its spring programme before the extra tote tax was proposed, otherwise a cut m the stakes would have been made. As it turned out the club must have lost a lot of money, seeing that the "gates" were down each day while ... there was a drop of £10,000 on the tote returns. * . .* * , - ■_-..••-• Pomp and Ceremony^willt all going well, be taken to Auckland for the spring meeting at Ellerslie. *. •-. .
