Fresh and fast
Charles Beaufort, winner of six races on the trot early this season, has come back after a spell looking ready to improve the bright record of the Dave Kerr stable.
He is up to the short sprint stage, and left his stamp on the training at Riccarton yesterday by recording one of the fastest 800 m sprints of the session. Charles Beaufort had excellent footing on the big trial grass but his 48.6 s was meritorious for a solo run.
Harbour Flo claimed attention as a light-weight prospect for first leg of the Ashburton T.A.B. double on Monday when she beat her stablemate, Amy Annie, by three lengths from the 800 m in 49.45. Harbour Flo ran Hint close over 1600 m at Wingatui at her last start, and she appears to have thrived for Garth Jackson in the meantime. Other gallops yesterday.— Trial grass 800 m— Debatable 48.65, Ola Blance 49.45, Auk Princess and Ariage 49.15, Salutation and Sound Note 49.25, Beach Bird 49.65, Sutch three lengths Jack Spratt 53.45, Rawgowan 51.45, Dios 50.35, Lord Chester 3 lengths Xerox 51s, Spy Force 545, Jacqui’s Delight 545. 600 m.— Royal Dream 395, Jack’s Lad and Silver Gale 39.55, Mustard Pot and Canterbury Belle 38.15, Handsome Heir and Foam 365.
