Good effort by Prince Lee
I Special correspondent Wanganui ■ ' A fast effort by the open ! sprint candidate. Prince Lee, t and a courageous display by Fashion Lover, highlighted training at Wanganui on Thursday morning. Both ’ claim engagements at Hast- ’ mgs today. Trials took place the re- ’ verse way round on the grass, which provided fast j ground for this time of the year. Most gallopers worked , close to the running rail so ( times were often very fast. I Prince Lee gave Dalriada weight and a three-length i start in their 800 m trial. Prince Lee finished a half J length in front, recording I 46.85, the last 600 m taking'
355. This was a great time . for a midwinter gallop. ! Prince Lee, G. A. Phillips’s mount at Hastings, must be ’ considered for the Mahora [ Handicap, even though he is , sure to be improved by the ! : outing. Fashion Lover, looked to have toughened. He went . over 1200 m with Amy Bat- . tersby, the pair hitting a fast rate from the outset. Fashion . Lover led early, was caught I but came again to finish in , front in Imin 15s the last i 600 m in 38s. , R. Blanche will ride , Fashion Lover if he regains the Clifton Handicap field. Cherubin ran solo over ; 600 m in 40s. She is very forJ ward.
