VINTAGE AGAIN

Runs Good Mile RICCARTON FINALS Dominion Special Service. Christchurch, January 19. The main interest in training operations at Iticciti'ton to-day was centred in the work of the horses to race at Trentham. the plough track again beiug in general use. Fracas strode over six furlongs in 1.10 2-5 without being at all extended. Silly Owl and Baek Thrust ran half a mile in 51 2-5, the last three in 3b, and Bun Fight sprinted three furlongs smartly in 36 2-5. Knock Out finished a length in front <u Rocket after covering six furlongs in 1.17 2- the last three in 39. . Cup Bearer reeled off half a mile in 50, the last three furlongs in 37 3-5. Her stable mate. Penelope, was again restricted to useful exercise on, one of the inner tracks. She is of a highly-strung nature, and does not require much galloping. Abdication and Landru finished together after recording 50 2-5 for half a mile. The latter, who is built on big lines, looks like making good. Horotiu and Invoice were companions over half a mile in 52 2-5. Horowhenua broke away in front of Tout le Monde, and led him into the straight, but they were on terms at the post after covering six furlongs in I.lk the last three in 39 4-5. Moonbeam hopped off at the five furlong post, and was joined by Emissary at the half-mile, the latter finishing two lengths in front. Moonbeam’s time was 1.3, the last three furlongs taking 38 2-t>. Final Shot was a length in front of Tunneller at the end of five furlongs in 1.5 2-5. An Attractive Mile. Vintage gave a pleasing display over a mile run in 1.41 3-5, the first two furlongs taking 25 4-5, three 37 4-5, half-mile 39 3- five furlongs 1.3 4-5, and six furlongs 1.16 3-5. He did his work very evenly, and pulled up better than on Thursday. 1 intage has certainly had plenty of galloping since returning from Ellerslie, but has thrived on it, and will be paraded at Trentham in the best of order. Great .Star ran an easy five furlongs in 1.5. He will be ridden by E. Leekie in the Anniversary Handicap, in which his prospects will have to be seriously regarded. Sam Smith, assisted by Hostile, covered six furlongs in 1.16 2-5, the first half taking 51. He will be at Trentham for the second day’s racing. Heather Glow and Haere Tonu, who had their final sprints on the previous day, were not produced, and Wino and Colombo were let off with easy work. Cranford was on the tracks but was not galloped. He evidently jarred a fetlock joint in his gallop on Thursday, and as some heat was in evidence, his trainer decided not to take any risks by working him. Later in the day his trip to Trentham was cancelled, and Riccarton will now not have a representative in the Telegraph Handicap, the first occasion for many years. Strong Representation.
