WORK AT WINGATUI.

DISAPPOINTING MORNING

Per Press Association

DUNEDIN, Oct. 5. Considering that the spring meeting will open on Thursday, this morning’s work at Wingatui was disappointing. The inside grass and tan tracks were in "ood order for fast work, but most of tile trainers were content to let their horses off with from half to threequarter pace tasks. The course proper has made a splendid recovery during the past few days of fine and drying weather, and now promises to be in first-class order for the meeting. Owners will have little to complain of regarding the course if the weather remains fine until Thursday. Bride of Clutha and Black Earl finished together at the end of six furlongs on the tan in lmin. 18 3-ssec. The two-year-olds, Gusto and Forecast, ran three furlongs on the grass in 38 2-ssec., the latter doing better over the last furlong. Viking, with his off hind heel heavily bandaged, but looking none the worse for his gallop along the road and railway line on Thursday morning, was sent a round on the grass and ran the last six furlongs in lmin. 21sec. Before work commenced Costume, Autumn Wind, Aradoa, and a two-year-old took fright near the racecourse gates and galloped along the road for about lialf a mile, but they were stopped before any serious damage resulted.
