WINGATUI NOTES
This Morning's Track Work. The track was dead alter the recent raiu but nevertheless provided excellent going. Several horses with Easter engagements were galloped, while others which had raced on Saturday were restricted to slow work. Tring and the steeplechasers Arabian Night and Steward strode over a mile and a-quarter at a strong pace. Tring and Arabian Night drew away in the straight to finish clear of Steward. Knight Crusader and Quadrille ran half a mile in 50J. Brockie, Foxchase, and Joygiver worked together over a mile, the last five talking 1.6 J. Tuapeka appeared to be going better than Manox over six furlongs in 1.194Venturesome and Petty Cash covered the last five of a six-furlong gallop in 1.6 1-5. Boloyna finished clear of _ Courtdress at the end of five furlongs in 1.8. Our Maureen and a Robin Goodfellow filly moved nicely when covering three furlongs in 39. Lance Wing was worked during the morning and was given a strong gallop over about one mile and a-quarter. Useful Team of Jumpers. H. A. Anderton's useful team of jumpers, which includes Tenorman, Arabian Night, Page's Raid, Young Topper, Phil Boa, and More Boa, were schooled yesterday morning and pleased the track watchers. These horses are all well forward to commence the jumping season and will be very unlucky if they do not win some of the big steeplechasers.
