TE RAPA TRACKS

Young Paddon Gives Good Display Dominion Special Service. HAMILTON, Di'ceinlier 12. The goign mi the course proper, approximately :>O feet old from lhe rails al T’e Rapa this morning was holding ami eutling out slightly, as the result of recent heavy rain, yet in spite ot Ibis, several smart efforts were recorded over sprint distances by candidates for lhe approaching meeting of the Waipa Racing Chili at Te Awamutu. The best efforts of the morning were I hose of Young I’addon, Maiieroo, Runanga and Ngawiri, over five furlongs, and Diversity over a round. A cold southwesterly wind made for rather unpleasant conditions. Dark Shadow (Gollop), umiccompauied. strode over a round in 2.14 J. He was not bustled at any stage, and appears to be coming to hand nicely. A useful effort over five furlongs was credited to Tosh (J. Mclnalally), who was doing belter than Respect 1 111 1110111son) over the deciding stages in I.S.J. I osn is an acceptor in the open sprint at Je Awamutu, but his prospects will not be enhanced if the track is heavy. Bronze Step (J. Mutually) and Herbage (O. Melnally) were associated over half a mile, which they ran in Suscc., their first three furlongs 'being cut out in 39 3-5. Both did their work well. Karatoki (Gollop) drew attention to his forward condition by the manner in which he accounted for Kingcraft (Thomson), Sudtoy (0. Melnally) and Lady Waimai (J. Melnally) over five furlongs in 1.8 2-5, the first half mile m 55see. Karatoki had the measure of Ins companions early, and he drew, right way over the concluding stages. .Io date he has raced disappointingly, but the quality of his work indicates that ho will make early amends. Aintree (Muir) and Senete (lelford) were companions over a round, running their first six furlongs in 1.27 1--' and the full distance in 2.20. They were not bustled. Boland (Long), in a similar essay, recorded 2.121. . , Wyndora (Long) and Starbright (J. Melnally) hit out togethar over live furlongs iii 1.71. their first hall-miJe being run in 54J. Both were travelling well within themselves and are lit amt well for racing ahead. Foxsen (0. MeTnally) ran six furlongs alone in 1.21 4-5, her first hjJU’ mile being run in 544 and the nve furlongs in 1.3 J. She is making good jirogress and should soon make amends for recent disappointments. Thmanga (Thomson) finished clear ot Miss Bridge (Gollop) over tlie concluding stages of five furlongs in 1.7, the first half-mile occupying 53 Z-o. Kunanga gave his best exhibition to date and is making good progress. Diversitv (Ensor) was doing better than Mio Ltime (Winder) oV '‘ 1 ’ I J he . l^' 1 ‘ eluding stages of a round in 2.10. iney ran their first half-mile in 5b 4-o and Diversity was revelling in her work at tne end. . . Tlie star gallop of the morning was that of Young Paddon (0. Melnally), who, with the assistance of the maiden Maneroo (Thomson), clocked tlie excellent figures of .1.6 1-5 for five furlongs They ran'their first three furlongs m 3< l-o and the half-mile in 52. Both revelled in the conditions and are in good trim lor racing at the Waipa meeting. Young Paddon is an acceptor for the Paterangi Hack (seven furlongs) and will have to be conceded excellent prospects if the going is at all heavy. ’ Ngawiri (Ensor), assisted by Sir Tommy (Hain) and an unnamed maiden in A. M inder’s stable over the first halfmile, ran five furlongs in 1.7 4-5. an excellent effort for one of her class. Ngawiri ran her first half-mile in 03, and is rapidly approaching her best r Lornacre (Conroy) occupied 1.8 d-o for five furlongs. He is to make a reappearance at Te Awamutu this week. Nithmount (Thomson) was doing better than Flashing Spear (Taylor) at the end of five furlongs in 1.9. . Riding engagements for the Waipa meeting include: AV. M.
