TRACK WORK AT RICCARTON

HORSES IN PREPARATION FOR EASTER RACING {By Telegraph—Special to "The Mall") CHRISTCHURCH, 22nd March. The four year old Great Star is among the horses engaged in the Great Easter and Great Autumn Handicap. He has not done much work for t some time, but as he comes to hand quickly, he may be in good form for the Great Easter Handicap. If he is turned out all right he will have to be reckoned with as he is a brilliant galloper. The Great Autumn Handicap is quite a different proposition and even at his best, he would find the mile and a half a difficult journey.

Praise has been on the easy list for a, few weeks, but she will be in work again shortly in preparation for tho Champagne Stakes at Easter. She has not won at six furlongs yet, but on two occasions when tried at that distance, she was unlucky. She was suffereing from cold in Auckland, while she was left at the start of the Dunedin Champagne Stakes. Starshooter is getting through plenty of useful work and he should be at his best for Autumn engagements. He has won at the mile and lie shapes like running out a longer journey. It is probable he will have his next race in tho Hororata Cup week before Easter.
