Beau Tric dashing winner at trials

Beau Trie won a 1600 metre i event in race trials at Motu ! ; karara yesterday in a style that i held bright promise for his six- ! year-old racing this season. Mr and Mrs .J. B. Hayman’sj chestnut showed plenty of! galloping ability from the start I of his racing career, but raced less than generously at times, and his form fell away sharply Ifist term. He has been gelded since he last raced, and might be a worthy colour-bearer for Kelvin Quayle’s Riccarton stable this term. Beau Trie has been nominated for feature races at the Avondale meeting next month, but plans for his summer programme have not yet finished. He made one act of yesterday’s trial, which was for all classes at catch weights. Bill

(Berry had him in front straight ; away and the combination I steadily widened the lead in the straight, establishing a winning margin of five lengths. His time I was Imin 42.45ec. I No Decision lasted to beat the I faster-finishing Belcaska by a neck for second. Trinity, now in the Rangiora stable of Bevan Laming, was fourth. Annfield. a bay filly by Country ■ Dance from Medley Miss from the Amberley stable of J. F. Parsons, won the 800 metre race, for two-year-olds by three-; quarters of a length from Double! Vision, an Old Soldier, filly pre ! pared at Riccarton by Ron Me-1 Cann. Dancia was third in a gap oil I five lengths, and did not have i a rival for that position after! Eklah had pig-jumped after leav-l ing the starting gate, and had taken no part. Conway’s Command. an! acceptor for the Evans Memorial! at Hokitika on Saturday, was a comfortable winner of a division of the 1000 m event for classes 3,4, 5 and maidens, but in slower! time (lmin 2.9 sec) than Cloudy! Joe recorded to win the first! | division. Cloudy Joe, like Conway’s] Command, won by a length and a half, but recorded lmin L7sec. in beating Orpheus and Cyllenius into the minor places.! The best of Conway’s Com-! ] mand’s rivals was a three-year-old filly by Mellay from Romeleus’ being trained by Bevan Laming. Romeleus, a member of the] noted Limelight family, died without having other produce after foaling the Mellay filly. Maidens to qualify with victories in the divisions of a 1200 i metre race yesterday were Mina I Lee and Sinn Fein. Mina Lee beat Bengazee by a nose in the first division, run in lmin 16.4 sec. But Sinn Fein found it easier in the second division, coming out on top by a length and a half over Pythian after making all the running. Sinn Fein’s time for the 1200; was lmin 15.8 sec.
