WORKOUTS AT EPSOM

SOME GOOD EFFORTS THIS

MORNING

ISpeclal to “Northern Advocate .”'3 AUCKLAND, This* Day.

The grass track, with the poles 50ft out, was available for fast work at Epsom this morning, and, although the going was cutting out a little, several useful efforts were recorded.

Dick Redmond trotted usefully over a couple of rounds at a strong pace, but was not after time. His first halfmile was run in 1.23. He is shaping up well, and will probably make his first appearance in the Dominion at the forthcoming Auckland summer meeting. The Rey de Oro —Worthy Crest youngster in D. Jones’ stable sprinted once round and came home the last half-mile in 1.16.

Willy Derby and Lucky Love were associated over a mile and a quarter. They raced together practically all the way and traversed the distance in 3.1 3-5, the final four furlongs taking 1.10. Both went well, and are improving with each work out.

The two-year Amathas, sprinted a mile in 2.36 2-5. and the last half-mile in J. 14. He is making progress as the result of some fast work of late. Grand Triumph was not at top throughout two miles, which occupied 5.18, after running the first mile and a half in 4.0. He has lost most of the surplus condition. Gay Sister Looks a Picture.

Gay Sister got to the end of a mile on the dirt in 2.15, covering the final half in 1.18. This mare is looking a picture, and she will have to be considered in the open sprint. Young Rodney went away four seconds in front of Maunga Tangi from the two mile post, but, after reaching the mile and a half in 4.6, the former was pulled up, and Maunga Tangi carried on to complete the two miles in 5.14, the last half-mile in 1.12. He infused a lot of dash into his task and was staying on well. Young Rodney was having his fix’st run since winning at the last Auckland meeting, and is making satisfactory progi'ess. Jewel Crest shaped nicely while running half a mile in 1.18, but he was not after time, as it was his first I’ace on the grass. This youngster is a nicely built sort. The Jewel Pointei’ —Koniniwood gelding was given a run on the grass, but was not above half-pace. He is a typical son of Jewel Pointer and

strongly resembles his sire in looks and conformation. Golden Maid and Torpedo King left the mile and a hall post eight seconds in front of Silver Watch, but after completing a circuit, the first-named broke and lost ground. Torpedo King reached the mile in 2.43, and completed his task in 3.58.

Silver Watch Goes Well

Silver Watch finished in front and was timed to cover the -full distance in 3.47. the last half-mile in 1.10 3-5. Ho was staying on well. Parrish Belle was allotted an easy mile and a half, which he traversed in 3.46, and the final half-mile in 1.16. This mare is a mass of condition, and is putting a lot of heart into her work.

Sequoia jumped away two seconds in front of Elthorpe from the mile and a quarter disc, but the latter soon went to the front and recorded 3.11 3-5. Sequoia was not knocked about and was well back. Luvan de Oro and Bedford were associated over a mile and a half, but the former broke early and Bedford finish well clear in 4.5. He was not doing his best. Auto Machine sprinted two separate half miles, on the dirt track in 1.15 and 1.12. and was finishing on well.
