ELLERSLIE TRAINING

HAMPTON PARK'S HALF-MILE

LORD AINTREE AND KILTOWYN REAPPEARANCE OF CLAREMORE » BY ARCHER Weather and track conditions were good for training operations at Ellerslie yesterday, when the No. 2 grass was available for galloping. Some useful working efforts were recorded, but tho horses to run along were not out to mako time and the best gallop was Hampton Park's half-mile in 51 l-ss. On the grass Supreme Ruler (light boy) and Chief Emerald (L. Dulieu) were sprinted about two fj.ir]ongs, Supreme Ruler finishing ill front. Supremo Ruler, , a threo-year-old by Chief Ruler from Mis 3 Ethel, and Chief Emerald, by Chief Ruler from Queen Emerald, are two of tho nicest young horses at headquarters. They aro both owned and trained by W. Kemp. Hampton Park (Baker) was responsible for a emart effort in dashing over half a mile in 51 l-ss. Ho did his work well and was not ridden out. Hampton Park failed to begin smartly enough to hav# a chanco < in the Dunedin Handicap at tho Pakuranca Hunt meeting, but ran a creditable raco in tho circumstances.

Ornamental (Fuller) was going better than Waiata Poi (L. when they had completed half a mile in 54 3-ss. Ornamental had the better of the weights, but she went very satisfactorily. She is thickening out and may allow eome improvement in the next few months.

Tho three-year-old Gay Broney. by Ivilbroney from Jolly, Gay, and the 'two-year-olds Barn Dance, by Spear Dance from Acushlu. and Money, by Paper Money from Maveelish, were sprinted ut) the straight. This was the first time they have been required to move along fast and they all hit out encouragingly. Lord Aintree (light toy) and Kiltowyn (Manson), after running tho first two in 27». completed five furlongs in 1.7 1-5._ There was little between them at tho finish and both worked freely. Lord Aintree is inclined to get oil his toes and requires very careful handling. Great Emblem (L. Manson) covered half a mile in 575, going slowly over the first furlong and speeding up over the last three in 40 2-ss. Great Emblem has made excellent progress since he resumed regular work and ia full of dash. Present indications are that ho will not bo long in returning to form if he stands up to his training. Marchette (McTavish) and Roman Mascot (Craddock) dashed over three furlongs m 39 4-ss, finishing together. They are steadily improving in condition and Marchette is hitting out with more freedom than formerly. Roman Mascot ran several creditable races last season and should be a good proposition in minor company when aha ia thoroughly "wft'h H. Dulieu in the saddle. Royal Survey jumped two hurdles in good style. Vandyke. ridden by the same horseman, also negotiated a couple of hurdles. He did not go quite as straight as Royal Survey, but there waa no serious fault to find wil.li his eX The t jumper Claremore made a reappearance on the track and did steady work on the tan. He has built up while working on the hills and is very bright and healthy. Claremore should do well at the spring and summer meetings if he keeps sound. ,The two-year-old colt by Musketoon from Mutie. who was being trained by JN. Cunningham, has been thrown out of work and will shortly be added to ihe list. He is to be given a long spell before being required to undergo another *ourse of training.

WORK AT RICCARTON SILVER SCORN GOES FAST GAY. CREST AND CRICKET BAT [by telegraph —OWN correspondent] CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday

Conditions were very favourable for training operations at Riccarton to-day and the going was fast. There was an occasional serious gallop, but the .majority -of the horses were restricted to strong work only.

One of tho beat gallops of the morning wa3 credited to Silver Scorn, who covered seven furlongs in fast time. Her mate Berate was sent with Riri over a. mile, but is a, ]a?x y'orker ?nd invariably fails to show tier best, on tho tracks. Both tho Silor&tio ihree-vsrear-olds are in splendid order and tlieir prospects for the season appear very' brirut ' Cricket Bat continues to give every satisfaction ill his work and moved very freely in a isallop with Dorian, brother to Zeebrugge- His reappearance will probably bo mode at the Dunedin meeting next month. Gay Crest and Adelphi. accompanied by Tout lo Monde for about half-a-mile, cpvered seven furlongs attractively, the first-named especially showing all his old dash, -their trainer, T. Lloyd; whose health has not been wood ' lately, has been ordered u. fortnight's. rest at the seaside. Warvene is undoubtedly endowed with marked speed, and she ree ed off three furlongs along the back in tune that is not often recorded at Riccarton. Her stable-mate. Red Heckle, is on tho easy list at -present owing to an attack of kidney trouble. The ChokebOre stable will have a useful three-year-old in Drumfiro to. represent it this season. 'Ho showed promising form in his few races last season, and was noticed finishing on strongly ih some of his races. Tho Winning Hit youngster has furnished into & solid colt. He may represent Sir Charles Clifford in the .Dunedin Guineas n6 Sharp Thorn will not bo long in gettin?: back to racing condition. He was well looked after' during his long spell and is much more solid than when raced last season" There is every possibility of his reaching' good handicap class this reason and bis new trainer. R. Ellis., should have a profitable innings with him. cnfi'nfirJuniper is coming to hand very _ s «-tis:T. c torily and should be ready to sli^w' his best at flome early «prinj? Jiieetmgs. To-clav he galloped well' with Shatter as a niate. Shatter 'too. is progressing well and some big handicaps are in view for him this ueason. - , . , NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP The three-year-old chestnut gelding by Colossus from Mandoline, who joined <T. M. Buchanan's team in July, bos been named Angie. The newcomer is settling down to work satisfactorily and is attending the tracks regularly. He lacks height, but is very sturdy Each year for the past five years the hunter Nimblefoot has competed at the Taranaki -Hunt meeting and he has been third in tho lagt three Hunt Cups. His only other race apart from his annual appearance at this meeting wa3 at Marlon two years ago. The two-year-old colt by <>ay Shield from Shebang, who is being trained by L. M. Manson, has developed quite a lot s:uco he commenced regular work. Tho youngster is fairly forward, but lately has been troubled with a cold and in coni.K|Ueu.:e is being allowed to take things easily at prea-mt. W. J. Bowden was to have ridden Tenacre in the Hurdles Handicap at the Taranaki Hunt meetins, but tho doctor who had been attending him since his accident at Trenthnm in July advised him that it would bo unwise to take the mount. It is believed that one of Bowden's shoulders has been chipped. At tho time of his death the late Mr. G. D. Greenwood had a number of horses in training at Riccarton under the care of P. V. Mason. They include Jaloux, who has a nomination in the Zealand Cud. also Azalia, Pacify, Importance Chile. Dehce and the two-yoar-old sister to Dehce, by lea Tray from La Pais.

In response to a Query from a southern writer regarding the future of mikuvi \ the Htiwera trainer M. Conway F.tated tiint the old horse was very well, but he had advised the owners that it rnip.ht be best to retire him and not have him trained a.qain. JJow ever, a decision has not been made una in the meantime Nukumai's programmo is indefinite. Consistency waß' a feature of the form of Huntingdon last season, when ho won races and was only thrice unplaced in IB starts. Huntingdon is possessed of brilliant speed, and. as he is again working with plenty of dash, he should again do well this term even though he is fairly high in the weights. A good mile and n-qua,rter handicap might not be beyond Huntingdon this season, us ha pave evidence ol gaming stamina when he won oyer nine furlongs at Te Kuiti.
