ON TRENTHAM TRACKS

HOLIDAY TRIALS

BEAU VITE'S USEFUL MILE

c (By "Rahgatira.") c i s Trentham's representation on the s opening day of the Manawatu Meeting c next Saturday will number, over a "; score, and there will be additional c horses coming in on the later days. Quite a number of teams will not com- »- mence their holiday racing till the c Wairarapa Meeting at the New Year. n The work this morning was done in ideal weather conditions, and the c tracks were completely recovered l" from the storm early in the week. , Beau Vite <!S. Wilson) finished resold lutely When catching Good Sun (H. Guppy) just off the post at, the end of , a mile on ./the grass in Imin 44 l-ssec, the last half-mile in 53sec. Siegmund (S. G. Robinson), also running on strongly, was right up on the outer of the pair. Beau Vite will go north on | Christmas Day or, just prior, depending on when a mate is available. He will be piloted by H. N. Wiggins in the King's Plate and by A. E. Ellis in the Derby. Also on the grass Prediction (H. Duncan) beat Cornaro (A. J. Newn- ' ham) over five furlongs in Imin 4sec, i the last half-mile in 50£ sec. Siglow (Duncan), who . .looks an improved I horse, led Globe Trotter (Wilson) throughout seven furlongs in Imin • 33sec, the last, half-mile in 53£ sec, but " Globe Trotter is never allowed to ex- " tend himself in gallops. i Royal Portrait (F. Boyer) was five 3 lengths clear of Miss Appellant (J. 7 Hayes), with Etzel (R. A. Hawkings) 7 another four lengths away, after half 1 a mile in 49sec. Balgowlah (T. Biggs) • ran five furlongs alone in Imin 3sec. • the last half-mile in SO^sec. ' The plough was a popular track, its " speed being " similar to the ' grass. Dainty Sue (Newnham) and Silver ; River (Duncan) ran a mile in Imin 1 45sec, the last half-mile in 51sec, Silver ' River especially coming home well. 3 Galteemore (J. ■ Lawler) and Trebor 3 (P. Williams) set off from the seven • furlongs, but near the finish the « latter's saddle'slipped and Galteemore, ' easing up too, registered Imin 32sec, ' the last half-mile requiring 55sec. > Pharisee (R. Barrett) shaded Dark " Water (P. Burgess) at the end of seven " furlongs in Imin 31sec, the last half- '> mile in 52sec. Pearl of Asia^ (K. 1 Smith) was four lengths clear of ■ Hunting Squire (Williams) and Floral " Robe (J. Lawler) after running six - furlongs in Imin 16£ sec, the last half- ■ mile in 51|sec. Acrobat (Biggs) did " seven furlongs alone in Imin 31|sec, 1 the final half in 52sec. Titter (Briggs), who is now a mem- " ber of H. B. Lorigan's team, finished ; well in beating Gothic (Robinson) by ■ a neck over half a mile in 49|sec. ■ Debham (R. Bucknell) .registered 49sec • and Silver Lance (Foster) took 50sec up the back. Alunga (Foster) came 1 down from the three furlongs in 36£ sec. 1 Ruling Star (F. Warren) and Lord ■ Cavendish (Wilson), easing up the last . furlong, returned Imin 37sec for seven furlongs. Colfort, who has been purchased by a Wellington sportsman, a newcomer to the game, is now a member of P. Burgess's stable, and his work this morning was a couple of rounds of j pacing. Tooley Street, who has re- j sumed after a short let-up, was also j confined to pacing. Another fresh i horse on the, tracks is Great Legion,! who has reverted to T. R. George. I Boomerang, who ricked himself in his stall early in the week, is unlikely to be racing over the holidays. Trench Law was not galloped this morning, but the reason in his case was only that he has had a number of races recently. On the two-year-old grass track, next to the rail, Absolve (Wilson) did half a mile in 50sec. Lady Govern (J. McCauley) beat the Hunting Song— Hulomee filly (D. Kelly) .' by three lengths over three furlongs in 40sec. (Croupisino (Foster) and Locrian (Burgess) were over a length ahead of Beau Coureur (Wilson) after run- J ning three furlongs in 37sec. Beau Ciel (Williams) and Yurilla (Biggs) ' sprinted two furlongs together, and . Maharajah was also sharpened up down the straight. ' ' Among the riders for the first day ] at Manawatu are:—S.
