WINGATUI GALLOPS.

DUN EDI N CUP MEETING.

•VISITING HORSES ARRIVE,

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, this day. There was a light frost at Wingatui this morning when visiting horses from Riccarton made their appearance on the tracks. Track watchers, who expected to see them going' against the watch were disappointed,. as none did more than sprinting down the straight after cantering on the centre of the course proper or the plough track, both being in first-class order. , . „ After the teams brought South by G. Murray Aynsley and H. Cutts had been exercised Inflation was produced, but his task was also of an-uninteresting character, consisting of a couple ■of rounds at halt pace on" the plough. He looks to be well forward in condition, and, though he knocked some skin off one of his hip bones on the journey South, it does not appear to affect his action. McKay's team -from Invercargill were also on the track, but were only given easy pace work. Ruling Light, who looks very well, will be ridden in the Cup by her trainer. , , The first gallop of the morning took place after breakfast, when the heat was almost oppressive.
