to Stagliunter over' the. mile to-morrow, the gallop over seven , furlongs on Saturday was illuminating.' ■ Matu Disappoints. Probably the slow pace was the cause of Matu disgracing himself ■at Riecarton on Saturday. He refused^ach time round at the'first fence of the Kennels double, but was going so slowly that he.pulled up in a stride. No doubt:he will put more dash into his work and not shirk on race day. The Kennels double is not reached until late in the first round,'so he should be well warmed; up when he reaches it to-morrow. His admirers must remember that the fences held no terrors for him last- year when lie followed Wiltshire home. An Awapuni Parr. * Mister Gamp and Llyn Dhu raced over the schooling hurdles with plenty of dash at Riecarton; on Saturday. Llyn Dhu jumped with his more experienced mate fence for fence, and'both went very well. J. Coyle, the trainer of Mister Gamp, was well pleased with the chestnut's showing. Llyn Dhu may hot win the National Hurdle race, but he should pick up some stake money in one of the shorter distance races. Smooth Displays. Of oil the hurdle horses to school at Riccarton on Saturday nothing gave better displays of jumping than Nukumai and Pangolin, who schooled separately. Nukumai naturally could be expected to jump in this fashion and-it is remarkable how much better he is over the smaller obstacles than over country. Pangolin jumped his fences as cleverly, as a cat. The impression is held by Southerners that he is not solid. If he'decides, to do-his best in any race at Riccarton this week he will beat more than beats him. Obviously neither Nukumai nor Pangolin, for different reasons, can be recommended, but the fact remains they-jumped well. Nancy Lee. ~ . The Auckland mare Nancy Lee has not set the tracks alight at Riccarton since her arrival, but,she has done plenty, of long strong work. There is an abundance of evidence in the South that she is going to be supported from the right quarter for the Winter Cup to-morrow. A prominent North Island rider was offered the ride on her, but he had a prior engagement. It is unnecessary to add lie would like to be on Nancy Lee. Zippor's Rider. Zippor was schooled at Riccarton on Saturday by A. Tricklebank, who rode Ponjola with some success earlier in the season. Zippor was ridden by L. Matheson at Trentham last month, and there is not much doubt that Zippor should never have come to grief in that field of five runners. He has attracted some attention at Riccarton because of his brother Magna Charta> who has shown considerable pro-, mise as a hurdler, but has been troubled by unsoundness. Zippor will be a wellbacked horse in the Trial- Hurdles to-mor-row, and is not by any means a negligible quantity in the Grand National Hurdles.
