AGUA CALIENTE RACE

POSTPONEMENT INDICATED j PILLOW FIGHT'S TRAINING GOOD SIX FURLONGS GALLOP (Received March 24, 6.5 p.m.) AGUA CALIENTE, March 23 With the Agua Caliente Handicap ten days away, tho track hero is busy with thoroughbreds training for tho classic event. Pillow Fight, the New Zealand candidate, ticked off six furlongs to-day in 1.13 3-5 with 9.0 up. Cuthbert training Pillow Fight, wao highly ploascd with the New Zealander'e last race, although ho was beaten by Gallant Sir and Old Depot over ono milo and 70yds. "I told the jockey not to abuso Pillow Fight, but to let him make his pace for seven furlongs," ho said. "Pillow Fight was not ready for the long race, and I am not suro he will reach his best form here, but ho satisfied me. At tho seven furlongs mark he was even with Gallant Sir." Gallant Sir, the favourite for tho coming race, to-day worked a milo in 1.41 4-5 with a slablo-mato, a big four-year-old. Tho beßt work to-day was 6aid to have been done by Tho Nut, a Kentucky importation, who, it is claimed, did a milo in 1.40 1-5. Tho Agua Caliento Handicap was scheduled to bo run to-morrow, but tho cablegram indicates that u postponement has evidently been made until to-morrow week. This is probably due to tho fact that owing to tho American banking crisis racing had to bo suspended for a period. ENGLISH RACING RESULT LIVERPOOL SPRING CUP LONDON.
