AWAPUNI HORSES FOR OTAKI

STING OUT OP GOING FOR

FINAL TRIALS

YESTERDAY’S PROGRAMME

After drenching rain during the night the sting was out of the going at Awapuni yesterday morning and the conditions were perfect for the final gallops of horses engaged at Otaki. The flags were over fifty feet out on the course proper and among the horses which worked particularly well were Ecstatic, Girl Pat and Silvanus, Lamhourn and Oragon, Goldhurn and Guiding Light.

Hunting Lore (B. H. Morris) ran an easy half-mile in 581 and he was followed by Ecstatic (D. Redstone) and Laughing Lass (J. Pratt), With their light weights they were away quickly to run to the three in 39 and with Laughing Lass on the inner they turned for home together. They were kept going over the final bit and Laughing Lass was about a head to the good at the post, the time for the full distance being 1.21 2-5. Ecstatic will be ridden by Redstone at Otaki. The Bigot (Morris) was given a strong working gallop and he went well ito run the last five in 1.9. [ Vercy Lights was in front of All Blood at the end of a mile run in 1.50 2-5 and they finished well to cover the last three in 43 2-5. Ml Blood "ill be ridden by J. Chaplin in the hurdles nt Otaki and he should give a good 'ic count of himself. On Wednesday, with Chaplin up, ho was schooled with Clarion Call’ (I. Rohloff) and they gave a great exhibition over four hurdles. Girl Pat and Silvanus were companions over a mile and again they galloped particularly well, coming home the last six in 1.22 2-5. Girl Pal was hi front at the post, but the margin was very small. Silvanus is in the big race at Otaki. She has been working well lately and she would not surprise if she ran a good race.

Disdain (Redstone) sprinted five furlongs on her own in 1.5 2-5 and it was easily the best of the morning over the distance. Flammarion (Chaplin) was exercised and he pulled hard. Clarion Call (Morris) and Colonel Bogey (W. J. Broughton) were together during a working gallop over a mile, and they came home from the live in 1,12. La Bru (Tattersall) was under restraint in running four in 56 3-5, and Pas de Cheval (C. B. Goulsbro) was not ridden out to cover live in 1.10 4-5. Chary (Morris) and King’s Mark (Chaplin) worked lazily over five ‘and Aoronit and Bonnie Bunstoy, who are coming to hand steadily, ran three in 41. Renascor (Tattersall) beat Fauvette (Moody) over seven in 1.42. Rollaway (Chaplin) and Waimutu (Tattersall) were on terms at the end of live run in 1.10 2-5, and Parian was not required to better even time over six. The juveniles, Oragon (Broughton) and Lambourn (Morris), which are to have their first races at Woodville, are being given more strenuous tasks. On Tuesday they worked over four and yesterday they scampered three furlongs in better than 39 with little if anything between them at the finish. Following close upon their heels was Goldburn (H, Stewart) and the Silverburn three-year-old showed a nice turn of speed in completing the distance in 38 3-5. Stewart will ride her in the five-furlong event at Otaki, After getting away slowly at Levin she covered extra ground on the home turn. She should do better than fifth at Otaki. Du Maurier (J. Williamson) worked alone over a mile in 1.52 3-5 and he finished brilliantly to cover the last three in 40. Guiding Light (Tattersall) and Thrasos (S. Anderson) were companions over seven, Boniden joining in at the half-mile to show the way for the rest of the journey. The time for the full distance was 1.35 and Guiding Light ran the last three in 41, which was good. Alchemic (Morris) sprinted half a mile. He is long-striding and a very deceptive galloper and it was surprising to find that he ran the last three in 39 2-5. He is to be nominated for Woodville. Beaupartir was given nice steady pace work.

FINAL GALLOPS AT TEENTHAM CENTRE IS WELL REPRESENTED AT OTAKI The following comment is by “Rangatira,” of the Post:— Trentham stables have over a score of horses among the acceptances for the Otaki meeting and the majority of them were sent on galloping trials yesterday morning. After the rain of the past few days the plough is out of commission, and the work was done on the outside of the grass, on which the going was good but dead. The weather was fine early, but rain set in again later in the morning. Dainty Sue (A. J. Newnham), kicked up at the finish, beat Prediction (H. Duncan) by half a length over seven furlongs in Imin, 31sec., the last halfmile in 53sec., but it was a good effort by the Otaki candidate. Silver River (Newnham), who schooled well with Good Sun on Wednesday, ran six furlongs in 1.19, the last half-mile in 53 sec. Good Sun (H. Guppy), picked up by Blue Border (L. T. Nesbitt) between the four and the three, ran a mile in 1.47, the last half-mile in 53sec. Siegmund (S. G. Robinson), picked up by Gothic (T. Biggs) between the seven

and sis furlongs, traversed a mile in 1.40, the last seven fuilongs in 1.32, and the last half-mile in 524. Gothic finished half a length in front, but Siegniund was quickly closing on hi* companion. Wakarara (E. Bucknell) was two lengths ahead of Telamon (S. Wilson), after six furlongs in 1.20, tho_ last halfmile in 534 sec. Colsan Maid (Wilson) ran half a mile in 52sec. Coronado (F. Boyer) beat Royal Portrait (J. McCauley) by two lengths over half a mile in 514 sec. Boomerang (J. Lawler) was several lengths in front of Galteemore (A. Foster) at the end of six furlongs in 1.18, the last half-mile in 52sec. Floral Robe (K. Smith) ran seven furlongs alone in 1.325, the last half-mile in 544 sec. Alunga (J. Hayes) was sprinted down*thc straight. Balgowlah (Robinson) and Acrobat (R. A. Hawkings) started from the five furlongs, but Acrobat stumbled and dropped back, Balgowlah going on to run the distance in 1.5, the last halfmile in 52scc. Acrobat recovered and. nearly caught the filly, running his last three furlongs in 37scc. Trench Law (P. Williams) was a length in front of Ruling Star (Warren) after six furlongs in 1.18-J, the last halfmile in 531. Ruling Star bolted before reaching tiro post, but he then waited for his mate. Defy (P. Burgess), who is difficult to hold because of a sore mouth, sprinted away from Warehi (J. Nicolson) as soon ns they were on the track, but she was eased up after running about three furlongs mill did the rest of the gallop at three-parts pace. Siglow was exercised on the centre of ( lie track. Though lie figures among the Olaki acceptors, FT. A. Telford stated that lie would bo racing only Silver River and Prediction. Siglow has done well since Levin.
