Ultraviolet in fine trial

(Special Correspondent) Hastings An excellent trial by Ultraviolet, an improvement by Kinneir and a sound gallop by Churchill Lad and Bartelle were the highlights at yesterday morning's Hastings track session.

Most of the fast work was earned out on the plough which was holding. The No. I grass and course proper were firm

Ultraviolet (Withingtom had! too much class for Piler (Wong)i in their 800 metre gallop on the; plough. She went to the line! with a six-length advantage 1 over her partner and clocked' 49.8, the last 600 in 37.2. This was the best time of the morn-! Ing for 800 metres and Ultraviolet could be a lightweight I threat in the Flying Handicap! at Manawatu tomorrow. [ Time honours for 600 m went to two two-year-olds. One was Gold n 1 Glory, from Alan Pringle's stable, and the other was Don’t Fret, trained by Mark Beckett. They sped over 600 m in 36 and were travelling strongly at the finish. Churchill Lad and Bartelle were not after a fast time when (sent 1400 m on the plough. They ; came over the distance in 1:33.8, | the 1200 in 1:19.6, the 1000 taking 1:6.4, the 800 in 53.3 and the ' final 600 in 40.1. Both horses I were under a good hold at the ! finish with Churchill Lad travel[ling slightly the better. Sharonette rounded oft her final preparations for the 58000 : Eulogy Stakes with 1200 metres on the course proper. She was supposed to work at threequarter pace for the first 600 but grabbed the bit and clocked 36.9. It was not surprising that she slowed up over the final 600 in 40.1. Her time from the 1000 was 1:3.8.

Last-start winner Charlie ran the last 600 of his 800 m gallop tn 38.2 and race-rival Castanet clocked 50.8 for 800, the last 600 in 37.7. Klnneir left his stablemate Ordermate well behind at the end of 600 m in a very good 37.5. He has done well during the last week and could show up in tire Visitors’ Handicap.
