ON WINGATUI TRACKS

FINAL DUNEDIN GALLOPS

(By Telegraph—Press Association.)

DUNEDIN, This Day. In addition to a sharp frost at Wingatui this morning, a heavy fog made" the grass on the course very, damp for horses who galloped early. After breakfast the atmosphere was still very cold, but the course proper, on which most of the fast work was done, was slightly faster. Superex and Wonderful, were sent five . furlongs on the course proper, with the trestles in the same places as yesterday morning, and they recorded lmin 11 3-ssec. Paper Slipper beat his stable 'companion Hororata over half a mile on the rails in 50 4-ssec. The pair were galloping fast when they passed the starting point. Paper Slipper is speedy. Tail Light took 57 2-ssec to run the same distance, but outside the trestles. Double Gift beat Asset over half a mile on the rails from a standing start in 55 2-ssec. Rebel Lad was sent five furlongs, being joined.by Hunting Go at the three furlongs peg, and he took lmin 12 2-5 sec. Hunting Go ran his three in 44sec. Cerne Abbas, who looks the best finished of the McLean Stakes candidates, beat Document over three furlongs run on the rails in 38 l-ssee. . Kinnoull was on his toes and sweated very freely after being trotted round twice. This three-year-old is a doubtful starter in the Electric Handicap. ■ Djnny Boy, a small but very racylooking two-year-old, was let-off; with a sprint down the straight.. He does not look ready yet to carry 8.5 in a fast-run half-mile. ■ • .. ■ ■ Grand Finale was the first horse to work after breakfast. He looks- in the pink of condition and was let off with a couple of rounds at half pace. Paladino and Red Lance were also let off with easy tasks. ' . Sungem ran five-furlongs on the tan track/in lmin 12 l-ssec. Jaunt finished a circuit on the tan by sprinting home the last half-mile in 52sec. Tizzy was not hurried and ran the last halfrmile of a circuit on the tan in 59sec- ■. ■ Tuirau, with her trainer up, ran six furlongs in lmin 30sec, after covering the first half of, the journey in 42sec. She was blowing hard when pulled up and was then given a round of the tan at half-pace. Kamal Pasha finished .a head in front of Song Boy over half a mile on the tan track in 50sec. Doiran, who was lame on pulling up after a gallop yesterday, worked at half-pace quite soundly. , Ramo and Amy Johnson were together at the end of five furlongs on the tan in lmin 3 4-ssec. The latter moved' very scratchily prior to the gallop and evidently does not appreciate hard going. Natty and Disclose were to have run half a mile on the rails together from a standing start, but the latter's gear shifted and he was pulled up. After gouig two furlongs Natty finished a four furlongs task in a leisurely manner in 54 2-ssec. Toreador, Braw Lad, and Lava Bay ran five furlongs together on the course proper, and over the final furlong Lava Bay, on the outsider drew right away to beat Braw Lad by several lengths in lmin 9 2-ssec. ,- Greek Shepherd was too good for Culotte over six furlongs on the rails. After running the first three, furlongs in 37sec, they completed the journey in lmin 19sec. . . . ' ; Hula Belle was sent half a mile on the tan. The last three furlongs took 39 4-ssec. . ' ' "'; Valarth was sent two rounds on the tan and finished strongly over the last three furlongs. Golden King took lmin 23 2-ssec to cover six furlongs on the course outside the trestles. He ran the first furlong in 13 2-ssec, two in 27sec, and' three in 40 3-ssec. Royal Pal and Last Link sprinted home attractively! after a round on the tan track Palmer just beat fiir Hugh in a threefurlong sprint on the rails in 39sec. Palmer began smarter and gained ground when Sir Hugh hung out at the turn into the, straight, but directly he straightened up Sir Hugh commenced to gain ground on the filly. / ■ Roseman ran away from Twilight Song in a sprint over two furlongs on the rails. Roseman's time was 26sen. Jack Ahoy, who took a lot of persuading to go on the course, accompanied Silk. Paper in" a run over fouv furlongs on the course proper.
