TRACKS WERE HEAVY AT AWAPUNI YESTERDAY FINAL GALLONS WERE NOT INSTRUCTIVE The Awapuni tracks were very heavy yesterday morning and the final gallops of horses engaged at the Wanganui meeting were not instructive. .Water lay in places on the course proper where the flags were wide out and Sir Bradbury, one of the first horses to work, was well and truly plastered with mud when he had finished a three-furlong flutter in 40 4*s—the best of the morning over the distance. The track was bad at the start and it got steadily worse as the morning advanced. Classform (11. I’. Stewart) and To Kawlti (S. Waddell) worked over five in 1.15, the last three in 43 o-5. The McMillan horses, Don Quex tA. S. Ewan) and UladyneV (It. Irwin) worked well over seven in 1.50, taking 1.1(3 for the last five. It was quite a good gallop under the conditions. Screen (A. G. Waddell), after a smart beginning, ran five in 1.10 3-5. She is not yet up to “concert pitch.’’ Foxcover (C. A. Dowry) and Flying Ace (D. W. Redstone) travelled at an even pace over six and they were still going strongly at the linish to complete in 1.3(3 3-5. Kailoa (Redstone) and l’lxaiaria (Dowry) were together at the end of five run in 1.13 3-5, the last three in 44. Rink travelled easily over three in 41. Vera Bynn and Nlgheun Were given a shade belter than three-quarter pace Aspen (S. Waddell) and Tavern Bight (A. b. Ewan) were kept to even time and Tavern Bight was going the better of the two at the finish. ITecious Golu (Howard) and Man's ' i’rido (Al. Andrews) came homo in 43 3-5 to complete half a mile in 00 3-5. Rickie (J. Bowness) and Social Climber (Andrews) went well over live in 1.13.
