After the overnight rain tin footing was good, although a tritlo dead. A number of visiting horses were given useful tasks, Brent Zolock, Princess The a and Bonny Drift being responsible for good displays. On the cinders Explosion f.avo a fine exhibition of trotting. Explosion (W. Cliftor.) wont, away steadily from tho milo and a-half post, but was soon trotting in lino style Ind reached tho milfi in 2.13. Continuing at a solid clip, he finished up his task in 3.2". a very fine performance on tho cinders. Explosion has been showing improve! form in his recent races as a pacer, and the change appears to have made him more solid at tho trotting gait. Brent Zolock (W. Highest, Rangihau (H. Harnett), Princess Th.a (J. S. Shaw) and Dad's Hope t\V. Clifton) went away lor a mile and a-half in tint order, Dad's llopo being slow to strike his straps. Brent Zolock and Bangihau torccd the pace to the mile 111 -.17, where Princess Thea and Dad's Hope moved up handy. In the run home Brent Zolock h ins on to finish just, in front of Prmcess V.'hea and Dad's Hopein 3.27, with Kangihau four lengths further back. Dad's Hopo ran the distance in 3.25. Bonny Drift (il. Fiosti and Smooger (J. A. Smith) started from the mile and a-half post, but the latter, who was unhoppled. broke up and Bonny Drift was eased, but they were together as the mile and a-ouarter post was passed. With two turlongs covered, Smooger as. in leit iiis feet and bonny Drift went 011 to run out the 10 furlongs in 2.51, tho ..ast half in 1.1). Ihe grcj' mare put a lot of dash into her task and it is unfortunate that she is so erratic nt the barrier 011 raco day. Oliver Thorpe (W. Willetts) worked soundly over a mile Mid a-half 111 3.31. Ho maintained an even pace throughout and | registered 1.11 for tie final half. Oliver | Thorpe has never locked in better order, i Gold Seam (L. McMahon) was responsible | for a sound display over two miles. He i was not hurried ovur the first half, but i improved to run the next half in 1.12. Pacimg evenly and solid y. Gold Seam came : home tho last mile .n 2.20. Trevor Dillon (J. Smith) went away bettor than Native Cole (H. Frost) on a mile and a-half effort, but before two furlongs had been cover-ad Native Cole dashed to the front and cairied his companion to j the mile post in 2.2). A little further on | Native Cole tangled and dropped back, I allowing Trevor Dillcri to go on and finish by himself in 3.35. Native Colo was sent ! another six furlongs, but did not exceed a J.-10 mile gait. Amy Eta wall (H. Garnetn trotted a mile 1 and a-half in 3.45. maintaining an even rate jof speed throughout. 'J he little mare looks ! none the worse for her racing during the i last two months and is now showing more i solidness. i Mattie Herbilwyn (R. Saunders) made two i bad lapses while traversing three circuits nt. ill useful speed. 0:i the final circuit she ! kept a correct gait, and. timed for six fur | longs, showed a 2.30 mile rate, i Gaza (L. Mahoney was given steady uni hoppled work , without being asked to go ' against the watch. Gaza is bearing a welli seasoned condition. Arabond. El Merit. Mild Derby.
