TRACK-WORK AT EPSOM

KEWPIE'S TRIUMPH IN FORM SOUND EFFORT BY CARNUI DIRECT MORNING GOES WELL BY ABAYDOS The outside of the course proper at Epsom was open for work yesterday morning, and, while the footing wus fair, very few horses were asked to no fust. The Lest displays were given by Direct Morning. Kevpie's Triumph, Carnui, Lil'lle Ouy, Guid Ilairst, Kolfo Audubon.' Nathaniel and Pedlar. The trotters Jock Bingcn,' Kolmur, Moko Girl, Marble Star and .Car) Mack g.ive sound exhibitions. Several trainers used the dirt track, which was in good order, and attractive efforts were recorded by Brentlight, Nelson Tusker, Peter Pirate. Real Girl and Cimarron. Kewpie's Triumph d\. Bell), D;:n Direct (A. T. Neiwdick) and First Flight (G. T. Mitchell) went away in that order from tho mile and a-hulf post, and there was no change as they reached the milo in 2.37. Passing the quarter-inilo disc there wus very little between them, but in tho ri'ii to tho post Kewpie's Triumph finished best in 3.18, Dan Direct and First Flight, close together, taking 3.49. Kewpie's Triumph finished with determination and ran the final half in 1.11. These horses were accompanied for tho middle seven by Miss Joan Direct (F. J. Smith), who worked usefully. Carnui (F. .T. Smith) led out from Pageant (11. Stafford) from the mile and a-hulf post. The pace for the first threo furlontis was vory moderate, but wus then iifcreused and Carnui led past the milo in 2.3:}. Although Pageant was handy at the turn for home, Carnui came on to finish in ; front in 3.17. Carnui was always going easily, and looks better for his. race on the first day. Pageant did not produce any dash when asked for a final ctTort. Direct Morning (W. E. Cockbill) ran approximately a milo and seven furlongs, lie strode along in easy style, and after registering 3.12 for a mile and a quarter, hit, out boldly to run the next half in 1.11. Tho Jellicoe Handicap winner was full of running at tho finish and his effort was pleasing. Moko Girl (W. T. Dye) was not fully extended to run a mile and a-hrilf in 3.55. She was allowed to take her time early, but stepped along aX a 2.30 gait over tho last circuit. "With only one engagement, tomorrow, Moko Girl should race prominently. Rolfe Audubon Improved Pedlar '{A. J. Julian) began faster than Rolfo Audubon (L. Laver) from the mile and a-quarter ' peg, and led over the first six furlongs in 1.51, both going fast for tho first quaiter. Kolfo Audubon moved up at the mile, reached in 2.23, and beaded his stable-mato in tho run home in 3.3. Rolfe Audubon did his work well and looks improved Carl Mack (1. Morrison) trotted very soundly over threo circuits, but was not asked for speed, going all the way at a 2.40 gait. A pleasing feature was his solidness, and if he keeps down in the Hillsborough Handicap bo should bo in tho picture, as he is very fit. Worthy Cause (A. Julian) led Nathaniel (W. Willetts) and Lady Coronado (J. H. Heginbolham) from tho mile and a-quartcr post, and set a sound paco for the first half in 1.14. "Worthy Cause was still in front at the B»ile in 2.23, but Nathaniel moved up at the turn, and, finishing strongly, passed the post clear of Lady Coronado, "who -came through to cut Worthy Cause out iu the last , few strides, but the last-named was not driven out. Nathaniel registered 3.0 for the full journey. Lady Coronado' went sluggishly on the first circuit, but. finished on well. Little Guy • (F. J. Smith), after sprinting soveral. furlongs on tho dirt, ran a mile on the grass comfortably in 2.2GJ. He was asked only for a 2.30 gait in the opening -Stages, but ran the filial half in l.llj, without being troubled. Little Guy is in great order and promises to be hard to beatr- again to-morrow. Kolmar (A. W. Broughton) trotted a mile and a-quarter in bold style. He reached the six furlongs in 1.59, and, hitting out to run 1.13 for the last half, finished up his task iu 3.12. Kolmar has never looked in better racing order.Guid Hairst. (F. J. Smith) paced without any jnistakes over's iiiile and a-quarter. He went slowly for the first quarter, but improved V) the six furlongs post in 1.59. Stepping «ver the last half in 1.115, .he covered !V- journey in 3.115. Guid Hnirst needs ol: \ to go solidly to-morrow to make' amends lor her first day's defeat. Wee Machine (E. S. Groat) paced smartly unhoppled on the dirt, track, sprinting nicely over a quarter. Given similar work on the grass, he broke when showing a good turn of Bpeed. Wee Machine is a pretty mover, but is not solid yet when worked free-legged. Jock Bingen's Good Display .Tock Bingen (F. J. Smith) gave a finished display of trotting over nine furlongs. and finished by running the last six furlongs at a 2.20 gait. He was working well behind Pedlar and Rolfe Audubon. but. trotting in splendid style, he was up with them at the finish. Mazda (W. Willetts) and Hue Coronado (J. H. Heginbotham) were companions iu a mile and a-quarter task. The trotter held Mazda to the mile in 2.27, but from this point the pacer did best to finish well clear in 3.10. Mazda paced attractively and looks benefited by tho race on the first day. ■ • ■ Margaret. Wallace (E. Cr. Sandall) right 'awa? .from Billy Carbine (G. Phipps) at tho .end of the -first mile of a, mile and a-half task, and easing up on the run home took 4.10 for the journey. Gold Seam (R. D. Kennerley) commenced ■well from a standing start in front of the stand, and, pacing solidly, ran the last mile and' a-quarter in 3.11. lie finished resolutely, but w as'-'.not fully extended to cover the last half in 1.15.' _ Marble Star <R. Millen) trotted leisurely over throe circuits, with a good burst over occasional, quarters. His condition should stand to' f ,him again to : morrow. Mattie Herbilwyn (G. T. Mitchell) showed nice ?peed at the finish of a useful tusk in covering-a quarter in" 375. and La Triumph (J. Shaw) ran the lust half of a similar task in 1.1 ft." ' , , Grand. Triitmnh (R. D. Kennerley) and Manna's Son (E. S. Groat) trotted a mile and a-quarter at a 2.40 gait, the three-year-old going more solidly than tho older horse, who broke at the home turn. Good Work on the Dirt Brentlight (R. D. Kennerley) wenl away two lengths behind Peter Pirate (E. N. Kennerley) from the mile and a-hulf post-; and with three furlongs covered they were joined by Miss Joan Direct (F. J. Smith). Peter Pirate reached the mile in 2 23. arid at the qonrter-mile post- Hrcn<li«ni moved Up. The Labour Day Handicap candidates then went away from Miss Joan Direct. Brentlight finishing with good dash to bo with Peter .Pirate at tho post in 3.28 2-5 the final halt being run at a very solid '/teal Girl (E. N. Kennerley) worked freelegged over a mile and a-quarter. Pacing boldly, she reached the six . furlongs in 1.45 and rnn tho final half in I.Bi to register 2.53 for the journey. Real Girl than galloped a couple of rounds and relished U Cimarron (W. Hughes) was not bustled in the early stages of n mile and a-half work-out. bltt when sent' along on the last circuit finished with fine dash to register 1 G for the final half-mile. Cimarron, who has raced tifllttckily. may do better tomorrow. _ „ . , , , . . Nelson Tasker (W. Brain) worked several rounds at a useful'clip, warming up over the last mile to register 2.16, sprinting home brightly over the final half in I.GJ. Although not very long m work, Nelson Tasker looks in splendid order. Stormy Mack (A. W- Broughton) was not out for time whilo travelling over four laps. Sprinted along tho back' he put _ a lot, of dash into his work and should again race prominently to-morrow. Our Summer 'J. Saunders) and free intt, (G T Mitchell) worked together over a mile and a-half. They went- steadily for a mile, and then the pace \va» increased, Our Summer broke at the quarter-mile, but came strongly in the etrnnr'U in front, of Free Gift, and run his lafit hall '"Cogent (T. L. Nicolson) paced sin' illy over three circuits, and when allowed to step out -oil, the. last Vix furlongs showed ii 2 20 gait.
