TROTTING

NOTES ON HUTT PARK MEETING Although the grass track was thrown open for fast work at Hutt Park on Saturday morning, it was not availed of to a great extent. Brian Bingen and Azelzion did strong work in company over two miles The former is engaged in the Nai'Nai Handicap for straightout trotters, and Azelzion is in the mile saddle event. Ena Black is obviously backward. She was set to run a mile in saddle, but failed to leave the mark correctly several times. Ttii Wildwood did practice work at the barrier and gave a varied display. This mare has speed, but is unreliable. Beatty, in harness, and a Brown Pearl maiden in Whitby’s stable went a good mile, the latter in saddle. They came home the last half very well. Blijck Palm (trotter), Matenga, and Hori Dillon wept well over a mile and a half. Zoloch Palm finished in front of Jingal at the end of a mile and a half. The time was not particularly fasrt.
