ON TRENTHAM TRACK

THIS MORNING'S WORK

PREPARATIONS FOR .MEETINGS

Strong pace work on the plough was the allotment for most horses at Trentham this morning, but there were a few fast gallops, all on, the j plough, which, was in fast order. The two-year-olds ■■ Weather set (Weathervane —Mazurka) and Invite were well matched over three furlongs in 37 2-ssec. Invite :\ bears an'.."'-ij&: proved appearance after her short letup. Both these horses will-.probably race at .Trentham next month. Normandy (Arausio—Hoy) was much too speedy for the : two-year-old Moab Queen over three furlongs in 37sec. He drew away in the early part of the gallop and was under restraint at the finish. Normandy raced once as a two-year-old last/ season, but has not had a/start yet this season. ■ • Lady Pam cantered a round and then ran a mile and a half at a strong halfpace, sprinting home the final three furlongs in 37sec. For, the last mile she took lmin 55sec. Cape Gold and Maritime were doing it easily at the end.of half a mile in 53 3-ssec. Oratorian' and Martian I Chief did a round at a good half pace. , Historic and Zephyrus were not bustled over their mile, for which they registered lmin 48sec. They increased the pace from the half-mile and did this section in 52 2-ssec. Cimabue and Lavington, together, and Duellona and Flower, together, worked over half miles at an easy pace. Similar work was done by Joie de Val, and the Thomond—Little Push filly owned and trained by A. Palmer, and' also by Lady Bene, Trader Horn and Spearlad, arid Bothen. : The lastnamed will probably be taken across for the Marlborough Meeting. Hunting Call did a couple of rounds of steady pace work, and Caught and Granado ran six furlongs at threequarter pace, sprinting home the final furlong. . . Peep was also noticed back exercising on the track. This three-year-old filly was sold at the recent sales f and ' then offered for resale at Johnsonville last week, being purchased by Mr. F.Kettlewell for 16 guineas! D. MAuley now has charge of her preparation. Lineage, alone, took lmin 7sec for five furlongs, and 53see for the last half-mile, but she was "always going easily within herself. Her stablemate Eminent registered a second faster time for a similar task. Courtlike and Dainty Ways Bprinted over six furlongs, coming home from thel-half-mile in 53sec. Marjoram, who will probably go to Blenheim, had Wee Lackie for a companion, over three furlongs, but they were not timed. ' Ephialtes was worked off the -lead on the sand. He has not been galloped since the Wellington Meeting. Master of, Arts ran the last three furlongs of half a mile in .37 3-ssec. The best gallop of the morning was that in which Henry of Navarre and Arikinui were associated over half a mile, the pair finishing together, after doing the full distance in 50sec, and the final, three furlongs in 36. 3-ssec. Henry of Navarre has impressed track watchers since coming to Trentham. Staghunter, who will probably be ridden in the Craven Plate at Biecarton by B, M'Tavish, also galloped attractively, reeling off the last half-mile of five furlongs in 50 4-ssec. Staghunter looks better than he has for some time.
