TAKANINI TRACK NEWS TEA TRADER SPRINTS FAST PALACE ALSO SHOWS DASH The weather nt Takanini on Saturday was cold and squally, but the middle grass track was in good order, although a trifle slow. A fair amount of fa3t work was performed. Greek Gold (Taylor) and Holl/ Lu (Jones) did a working gallop over seven furlongs in 1.33 2-5. They were accompanied over the last half-mile by Topstar (Grice). All three finished together and the last half-mile took 54 3-ss. The three-year-olda did their work pleasingly and Topstar also went freely. Prolyxo (Craig) and the Gay Shield— Phaola filly (Moore) jumped away at tho five furlongs to run two furlongs in 26 2-5s and three in 40s. The two-year-old was then pulled up and Prolyxo went on alone to complete five furlongs in 1.6 3-5.. The gallop was comparatively slow in the early Stages owing to a strong head wind having to be faced, but both of Bagby's charges showed that they are progressing satisfactorily. , ~ . Imperial Prince (Jones) and (Gilmer) ran seven furlongs in 1.44 4-5, speeding up only over the lust furlong. They hit out freely, but were under restraint throughout. , . , • . ~ Tea Trader (Walters) jumped away at the three furlongs, and, joined by High Comedy (Edwards) at the two furlongs, ran homo in 37 2-Ss. Considering that Tea Trader was on the bit all the way, his effort was very Pl ßbyal' Artist (Walters) and Speedmint (Edwards) were let off with an easy task over six furlongs in 1.27 coming homei fast over the last furlong. Royal Artist, who is looking very bright, put a lot of dash into (Mclnally), the Paper MoneyI Vicereine colt (Clifford), the \VeathervaneSennight colt (McFarland) and Taty°on (Gray) were in close order at the end ot three furlongs in 40s. All were going wel within themselves, but Alignment showed up better than, he has done recently and made a good impression. Arch Ruler (Forsyth) strode over h.ilf-a-mile in 54 1-53. He is in nice order to commence spring racing. Palace (Craig) jumped off at the liaitmilo and was giving Bell Topper tGiay) a clear length's advantage when the latter joined in at the three furlongs. Palace, going very freely, beat his companion by half-a-length jn 52 2-ss,- a good effort Bell Topper ran his three furlongs in 39 --ss. The recent work of Palace has been untforinely pleasing and ho seems to bo definitely on the improve. Tho latest to join b. Smiths active foam is Principal, who has been spelling sinco he was injured m a. hurdle rac ° at \ autumn meeting at Ellerslie. Ilolmsfluito recovered from his injury and, leturns to work in stfendid health and much improved Lady Vane and Foulwind returned from the Gisborne Winter Meetings they had (v rough passage on the " , result, of which their legs filled A week or two in the paddock has put them right again and J.
