Sailor’s Flight Best At Wingatui

"The Press” Special Service DUNEDIN.

Sailor’s Flight, a form candidate for the Wood Memorial Handicap, the hack sprint at Beaumont on Saturday, was the most impressive trialist at Wingatui yesterday when gallops were held on an excellent track. Other horses engaged at the Beaumont meeting to attract attention were Lisa, Blue Rose, Sandy Man, The Greatest, Tarcass, Queen Neptune, Night Bell and Cognac. The trials were held by the Otago Racing Owners’, Breeders’ and Trainers’ Association in conjunction with the Dunedin Jockey Club. The trestles were about 20 feet out on the course proper. Sailor’s Flight (R. N. Marsh) recorded the fastest time over five furlongs when she ran two lengths clear of the last-start winner, The Greatest (P. J. Silver). with Blue Girl (R. McAra) a head away third. She ran the distance in Imin 4sec, the first two furlongs in 25 4-ssec. Tarcass (J. D. Pankhurst) and Queen Neptune (L. W. Hare), two recent winners, shared the honours in the first division when they came home in Imin 5 4-ssec. There was little pace early, the first two furlongs taking 27sec. Lisa (D. Johnson) appeared to be galloping within herself when she held Blue Rose (R. N. Marsh) by a neck at the end of the open five furlongs in
