RACING Cheyenne’s Brilliant Six-Furlong Trial

Cheyenne shaded Purser in a brilliant six-furlong trial on the plough at Riccarton yesterday, attracting further attention to his fitness for the Great Easter Handicap next Monday. Cheyenne (W.

They sped over the distance in Imin 14sec, the last half 'mile in 49 3-ssec, and the final three furlongs in 37 l-ssec.

• The plough was powdery, and gave fast footing. The trial grass was also open, but sparingly used By arrangement.

They started at the six furlongs and ran the last four in 51 4-5, quickening for the last three in 37 3-5.
