FERSEN IN FAVOUR

HAWERA'S TARANAKI HAND (Special from "Limited.") lIAWEIU, Febiuaiy 4. Ago. Khan and Fei&en ga\o tuither demonstintion of then usefulness by winning at Wanganui last week. Garfex lias been occasioning a little auxiety lately and his tiainei (J Bioun) hat, decided to ieser\o him foi the Egmont Meeting A new armal to the Haveia tracks is the Mercian King gelding Dombey, who was purcha&ed at lientham by Ml.. W Simsou, of W.i\ei,lej, the owner ot Silver Wings,, ut ISO-guineas Dombey is a bmait galloper and was accounted unlucky ],ist season. He has run encouragingly during the present season, and should prove a useful proposition in the Tariiuaki district. An upstanding, rangy individual of the lathy type, he looks as if he could carry more condition than at present with ad\ antage. Golden Hair, who has been doing a lot of steady work, was allowed to" run. along on Saturday morning over three furlong, accomplishing the task in 38% sec, and going very smoothly. The mare will probably have a run in the six-furlong event on the second day at the ICgmont Meeting; when"her reappearance will cause considerable interest. Friesland has been.a bit off colour since racing at Trenlham, and shows signs of developing a cold, Fense'n was out doing light exercise on Saturday, and ho has suffered no ill effects from his Wanganui effort. He promises to stup veiy fit for the Taia-> nakj Cup on Thursday. Aga Khan, who -put up one of the best peiformances ( of his career jn the .Wanganui Cup, was also out trotting and cantering. This gelding never looked better than-at 'present. Cynical Kid has resumed track work after hi 6 spell. He has put on plenty o£ condition, and is in great spirits. So far there has been no recurrence of the foot trouble that affected him. It will pro-babbAbe-TSaster time before he is asked to race again. Gibraltar 'attends the track daily doing ! 'slow w,ork. He is cairyjng a \eiy doubt-' ful-looking leg, and will not lie sent along I until the tracks become softer. A contingent of sixteen horses from'this centre is listed to compete at New Plymouth on the opening day of the Taranaki Jockey Club's Summer Meeting on Thursday. March Alone < and Beau Star are the hurdle representatives. Beau Stai won nicely at his last appearance on the New Plymouth track, but he needs his own rules Although up only a s>hort time aftei his spell, March Alone has done some solid work' and displays improvement in his schooling efforts He showed all his old pace when sprinted last week. An: interesting runner- in the Juvenile Handicap is Link Divine, who has gone on the right* way lately ' and' will only have to repeat her performances up north to be seriously, considered. The Diaequenod—Vivo three-year-old Daivet has not shown anything remaikable in his track work, and his success would come in the nature of a surprise. Hawera has two promising maidens in Panloff and Lady EUa engaged in the Motorua Electric Hack. Both have been working attractively. s _, 'With 9;1 in. the Taranaki Cup Aga Khan will ha\e a much harder task than at Wansanui la^t week, and the other Hstf£ra repiesentative 3?ersen, whose performances since arriving in the Dominion ha^eibeen jnost epcour T aging. will,, with hk }igh,t,<;iinpost,7be"preferretl -> Silk S6x» Diagano, and St. Clara are classy hacks and will be light at the top of tn'eir form for the ,Okato Hack HandiIcap. \ • ■ ' t .' | Run is ioing, splendidly in his work, and 'should lewardJhis owner-trainer With a win shortly.
