ELLERSLIE TRAINING.

YESTERDAY'S TRACK TRIALS. KARANGAPAI SPRINTS WELL. EAGER ROSE AND GOLD MONEY. Affer rain overnight the weather was showery for training operations nt Eilerslio yesterday, when tho work was carried out on tho No. 2 grass, which was in good order in spito of tho rain. Comparatively few horses were sent against tho watch, although several worked very nicely, among them being Gold Money, Eager Rose, Cynthia N. and Karangapai. l Imperial Princo and Good Idea wero timed to run five furlongs in 1.7. They wero kept up to their work and were on terms at tho finish. C6rinax, after doing a steady round on the sand, strode over fivo furlongs on tho grass in 1.10 3-5. Corinax is progressing very satisfactorily in his preparation, but will not be thoroughly ready for some time yet. Lightly weighted. Gold Money ran five furlongs from practically ft stand in 1.5. Although Bho has not raced lately, Gold Money has had a good preparation for the Waikato Cup and track form suggests that she is likely to make a bold showing. With a light boy in tho saddle. Eager Rose gave Patutahi a good Btart and finished just behind him at the end of seven furlongs, which she ran in 1.33 • 2-5. She went very smoothly throughout. Eager Roso is to be ridden in the Waikato Cup by J. Day, who was her pilot when she scored at Te Awamutu in June. Cynthia N. Works Soundly. Merry Lu, who is carrying a bright appearance, sprinted four furlongs in 52 l-ss. Hampton Park covered the same distance at three-quarter paco, nnd Great Emblem went steadily over five furlongs in 1.12 3-5. Cynthia N. (Ludlow) was in advance of Now Boy, who had considerably moro weight, at tho ond of six furlongs in 1.18 2-5. The first three furlongß wcro run in 39 3-5s and Cynthia N. finished full of running after going out. very wide at tho turn. The imported mare is in groat heart. Informant was not bustled to run four furlongs in 54 3-53, and Royal Menu hit out nicely to register 52 4-5s for the same distanco. Neil and Principal were responsible for a useful effort over fivo furlongs in 1.8 1-5. whilo Howick was not extended to cover six furlongs in 1.26 1-5. Karangapai pleased by beating United and Bonnylea over four furlongs in 51s—a smart gallop. Karangapai is a very promising novico and should not bo long in opening his winning account. Ho is to race at To Rapa, where his prospects look bright. Progress o! Praetor. Golden Spahi, the two-year-old fullbrother to Catoma, went four furlongs in 55 2-ss, and Praetor displayed some dash in sprinting three furlongs in 39 3-ss. Praetor was not very eolid when trained previously, but he is carrying moro condition than formorly and J. Williamson is hopeful that ho will develop improved form this season. Princo Amans placed six furlongs behind iu 1.2G 2-5, whilo Spring Abbey and Brown Princo went three in 41 4-ss. Spring Abbey is hardening in condition and muscling up nicely. Currajong was not extended whilo covering a round in 1.53, Kamehamcha, and Operatic runnimr tho eamo distanco ill 1.50. Absent, after going over a pony hurdle, jumped four schooling hurdles cleanly. King Swift was also schooled, clearing a couplo of hurdles without mistake. On tho two-year-old track Silent Miss ran her first two furlongs in 25 3-ss, and, easing up, completed thrco in 40 l-ss. NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE. TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP. H. Goldfinch is returning from Riccarfon to rido at To Rapa to-morrow. His mounts will include Rosshiio, Roseric and Hakanoa. Dancing Doll, dam of La Poupee, with -6 colt foal at foot, a brothor to, the speedy Awapuni filly, has been purchased from Mr. J. G. Duncnn by Mr. J. M. Samson. Blue Paper, Airforce, Streamer nnd Locarno have all been transferred to Mrs. McDonald's active team at Awapuni. Whilo Loeamo looks very much liko his old self, timo alone will show whether ho will Btand up to hard training. Whilo ho continues to make favourable progress, tho knee injury suffered by tho Palmerston North jockoy T. Mctcalf at Now Plymouth is proving more persistent than originally foreseen, Tho muscles on tho outsido of tho kneo wero misplaced, and a further month at least will elapso before lie is able to return to riding work. Sales of yearlings at Saratoga. United States, this year totalled about £300,G00. To produce this amount Cl 3 youngsters wero disposed of for an average of about £560. This is the lowest average recorded since 1924, In 1929, 515 yearlings wero Bold for an averago of about £720. Tho highest prico paid this year was £OOOO for tho colt by Sir Gallahad 111. from Fasnet, and tho same prico for n filly by the same siro out of Sfnrfiight. 111 1929 tho highest price was £9OOO, and in 1928 £15,000 was paid for New Broom, whilo £13,000 was paid for Broadway Limited. These two are still in tho maiden class. LA JUSTICE'S SUCCESS. PRAISE FOR H. R. TELFORD. [from our ;own! correspondent.] MELBOURNE, Nov. 6. ''A man who can produco Pilar Lap in such splendid condition every timo he races and also preparo tho winner of tho Maribyrnong Plato is worthy of tho highest praiso." So remarked James Scobio, tho doyen of Australian trninors, to somo friends a fow days ago when discussing H. R. Telford, lessee-trainer of the Melbourne Cup winner, nnd trainer of tho Maribyrnong Plato winner La Justico. That was a high tribute from a man liko Scobio, and it was mado in nil sincerity, Tho success of La Justice, her second in Melbourne, was another advertisement for Now Zealand, for tho filly was bred in the Dominion, being by Chief Ruler from Rnpturo. Prior to her win in n division of tho St. Albans Handicap nt Mooneo Valley La Justico had been in dolicato health, nnd Telford experienced considerable troublo with her. In that raco sho brilliantly defeated tho A.J.C. Gimcrack Stakes winner Bassanton. Most racegoers considered that tho Maribyrnong Plato would bo too rich for tho filly, and sho wns allowed to go out at n long price. However, sho won brilliantly from tho Heroio colt Bold Bid, and the Great Star gelding Starstone. The race was worth moro than £2OOO to the owner of tho winner. This lias been a great meeting for Telford. RACING FIXTURES. November 15—Canterbury Jockey Club. Novomber 15, 17 —Waikato Racing Club. November 19, 20—Winton Jockey Club.
