N.Z. Cup And Derby Rivals In Eight-Sided Gallop

An eight-sided gallop in which six New Zealand Cup horses and two Derby colts took part was one of the features of training at Riccarton yesterday. Galloping took place 40 feet out on the course proper, which provided excellent footing. The horses involved, which will be rivals in the rich twomiler tomorrow, were Eiffel Tower (W. J. Hillis), Alaska (M. B. Andrews), Carlynn (R. C. Smith), Midnight Kiss (F. R. Beguley), Birthright (W. H. Beck), and Marlow (G. Gullery). The three-year-olds were Summer Magic (E. J. Didham) and Middy (J. A. Messent).

The group broke away near the mile and a-quarter and Carlynn and Midnight Kiss quickly took over the pacemaking. They led into the last mile from Eiffel Tower and Summer Magic, then Alaska, Birthright and Marlow in line with Middy in a small gap at the rear. They kept up a steady Usee to the furlong along the back and around to the half-mile before the pace was increased. From there they ran home in 50 4-ssec, the last three furlongs in 37 4-ssec. At the post Carlynn led Midnight Kiss by a neck. Lorastan (F. H. Skelton), which had
