TRACK WORK AT HAWERA

PREPARATIONS FOR WEDNESDAY REMINISCENT OF' FORMER. DAYS NEARLY 100 HORSES EXERCISED (By “Limited.”) With the weather again gloriously fine, the prospects for the Egtnonfcj Racing Club’s winter meeting commencing on Wednesday look distinctly good, and the scene at- the Hnwera racecourse this morning, with close on a hundred horses out exercising, ’ was; reminiscent of the good times. The course is in perfect order and visiting trainers are enthusiastic about the conditions of the various tracks. A big improvement in the birdcage is the erection of stalls for placed horses to be unsaddled in, doing away to a great extent the danger of excited horses kicking whilst being stripped for weighing in. The win and place system of betting will be adopted. The following additional visiting horses have arrived: Royal iLimond, Tea Garden and Hounslow from Riccarton in charge of B. Gillett; Moneygran from Dunedin under Mr Wilson’s care; Air Maria with British Columbia and Alloy; Air Scholium’s hordes Princess Star, Bugle Call and St., Ames; Air Woods with Chopin; and C. Twist with Oullus and Grumpy; also Solomon, Lady Cheval, Freeze, Manuiri, Snowball, Arauline, Riotous, Esteem and Lady Ronald.

THIS MORNING’S WORK. Tho outside of the course proper, the trial grass and plough tracks were all in perfect order and were all used. On the out-sidei Ca-rfex (Coyle) and St. Clara were first to gallop, going five furlongs. Oarfex began smartly and led throughout, finishing a long neck in front in 1.51. St. Clara finished well and the gallop should work improvement in her. Carfex is very well and shaped attractively. Tea Garden (Paseoe) went comfortably over seven furlongs in 1.21 4-5. Solomon (Vaughan) created a good impression by -leading Richfield all the. way in a -six furlong gallop covered in 1.19, finishing four lengths in front and going evenly throughout. •On the trial grass Hyhiscus (Ale-; Naughton) and De Trop (Leach) shaped well in a gallop over five furlongs on the trial grass, funning the first three' furlongs in 36Jsec. Hyhiscus finished in front in 1.21. On the same trade 1 Royal Bengay (Flower) and Cawbeen, (Leach) sprinted smartly over four furlongs in 49isee. British Columbia (Tremain) looks remarkably well and finished up this woflg bv sprinting homo two furlongs in 241: see. 1 •;

OVER THE SCHOOLING HURiQLEiS Stanchion (Tucker), Monaghan (ConAvay) and Chief Line (B. Sullivan) were companions in a round of the schooling hurdles. Stanchion fumbled the first jump, losing ground. Chief Line fled, throughout in a fairly fast run bout, giving a good exhibition Avith the ex-i ception of one jump. Stanchion made up ground and was close to Chief Bine at the finish. Monaghan jumped safely but slowly. Hounslow (Pascoe) and Royal Limond gave a perfect exhibition of jumping in their round, but there was not much pace on. Copev (Tucker), Bon Aryan (Trillo) and BroAvn Abbey (Sullivan) lined up for a bout over the big fences, but Avhat promised to be an interesting Avorlc out AA'as s]x>iled, firstly by Brown Abbey’s jockey breaking a stirrup leather after jumping the brush double and pulling up, and then by Bon Aryan crashing into the third jump, coming down and giving Trillo luckily nothing Avorse than a good shaking. Copey. continued on jumping splendidly. Brown Abbey Avas afterAvards gh r en a round by himself, jumping well. J. Fryer’s team of flat racers— Sandlark, Oriel, Ruri. Onewhetu and Gibraltar —Avere all relegated to useful pace Avorlt. The Tiger was allotted good pace work. The final gallops will be performed to-morroAV.
