They are going well in their work. Sun Up is doing only steady pit; ing at present but lie is building up nicely, and A. McAulay will no doubt have him in goor order tor ■spring engagements.'

Road icon is getting ■■ into racing shape, and this solid little male will be worth watching in, the spring, when she has had a. couple ol races to sharpen her lip.

Carnot lias been taken in band again by P. Y. Mason, and will Le got ready for racing in the spring. He is a useful galloper, who may win a good stake next season.

Tarlelon lias rejoined A- McAulay’s acelive learn. lle is doing only easy pace work at present, but be soines to band quickly, so there is plenty of time to lit him for tbo spring meetings.

Mr -J. Hull stated at Trentlnnn that it was unlikely Omalm would go to Hicarlon, though he might yet decide to send him. He is not in the Steeplechase, and his 1 rentham form over hurdles was not encouraging.

According to all accounts Sol ferrite i. s bowling along in great style in bis work at. lliccarton. He looks all the better for the two races be had last month, and lie can he marked off as a likely sort for Hiccup to a mile at the (/rand National meeting.

Says the Herald i At Filers] u* on Thursday morning, Sir Rosebery (It. Garrett) and Llewellyn (I. Chaplin) led Ginger Carl (I). McMullan) Torch (It. Nixon), and Auburn (H. Tinker) twice over tbo sodwall double, and stonewall. the m slimmed two fenced well, while the others made no mislako.

The Waikato-trained sprinter King Merv is reported to have recovered from the ill-effects of cold troubled him about Master .lime. He has had a good sued, ami put on a lot of condition, and it will he some time he lore 1 lie is ready to race. H is stated that lie will be a competitor in abort distance weight-for age and sot weight races in the main next season.

Lord As tor’s filly Saucy Sue, who won the Oaks is declared to be the best tillv that has. been seen since Pretty Polly, and, before her, Sceptre (writes u London correspodnent). Saucy Sue covered a mile and a half in faster time than did Manna in the ‘Derby. The going, ot course, wa s better, but she was •never out of a cantor, and s m would probably have ’won by hlty lengths lmd she been ridden out all The wav. Jn none of her five races ■jibs Saucy Sue been extended, and what the public would like to know is ir she is better than Mamm and her stable companion Picaroon, who was favourite fo r the Derby until a mishap overtook him. All three are engaged in the St.' Leger. winch is run at Doncaster in September, and this is going to he the most intercsl- ' iing classic race for a,,long-time.
