P. Spratt is taking him to Awapuni with the two-year-olds the stable has engaged there, and he will go on to Auckland after the Manawatu meeting. At Trentham on Saturday morning Kindergarten (Spsatt) worked the reverse way over a mile on the plough with Tara King (Burgess) It was only a routine at easy pace. The first three furlongs took 41sec, the first six Imin 20secs, and the full distance Imin 46 2-ssec. Kindergarten was under restraint at the finish, and appeared to be .keen to increase the pace.
