NEW PLYMOUTH HORSES

PROSPECTS AT TRENTHAM GLENVANE AND HEADMISTRESS [fkom ouu own correspondent] NEW PLYMOUTH. Saturday The fifew Plymouth track wag again in splendid order for training work this morning, the trial grans, wliero the galloping took place, being faster than it has been for sonio time. The horses with engagements nt Trentham wero galloped and acquitted themselves well. Headmistress with Chief Joy as a companion, was exercised at the barrier and jumped out well. The two afterwards galloped three furlongs in 37 2-6s. Headmistress did her task impressively nnd is fit. She is suro to carry good support in the Trial Plato on Thursday. Aussie Ea finished in front of General Quex over three furlongs in 33 4-ss. Bold Bid strode over half a milo in 50 4-5s and did his task in great stylo. Ho has made a lot of progress lately. Glenvane, moving very evenly all the way, recorded 1.324 for seven furlongs. He finished strongly and looks in great order for his engagement on Tuesday. Although ho may not begin as well as some of his opponents, ho will bo running on at the finish. Amyril gave Silk Sox a start and finished on terniß at the end of half o mile in 61s, the last three furlongs taking 38s. This filly has come on a lot since winning at Foxton and is suro to give a good account of herself at Trentlum.

TROTTING NOTES HOMEWARD'S FINE RECORD BLOOD LINES OF PEGAWAY BY ABAYDQS One of the most consistent pacers in the Auckland Province this season has been Homeward, who was bred in the South Island by Mr. G. J. Barton. Homeward raced extensively at Epsom and on the country circuit and was 18 times in the money in 24 starts, her total earnings being £5lO. Her main successes were gained at a milo and a-quarter. but sho was twico placed in her only starts at two miles. Next season she should do well in good company over the longer distance. S. M. August will have another useful representative next season, Lady Coronado, who won threo times in her last four starts when driven by him. Lady Coronado is a genuine stayer and during tho soason won three times over two miles. Sho has put up her best efforts on soft tracks, but when thoroughly attuned is capable of racing well on good ground. Although sho has no breeding lines on the maternal side, her eire. Princo Coronado, was well bred and traces back to the high-class brood mare Thelma, who produced many good performers. The well-performed Pegaway, who won two races early in the season for E. N. Kennerley, and increased his total to seven after joining F. J. Smith's stable, is a pacer who promises to rise to a high standard in tho new season Pegaway is bred on exceptionally fine lines, having the AxworthyPeter the Great cross, and in this respect is closely related to such present-day American champions as Protector (1.50)), Guy Day (2.1)) and Chestnut Petor (2.2)). Pegaway should be one of Auckland's hopeß for the Auckland Trotting Cup in December. Peter Volo . (2.2), sire of Nell Volo, has sired six performers in America with 2min. records, whilo his dam, Nervolo Belle, has produced a number of good ones who havo got below tho 2.10 standard. Peter Volo, who is a eon of Peter the Great, is credited with being the champion siro of racewinners since 1927. Nell Volo is the only one of his progeny racing in the southern hemisphere nnd her performances during the season and prospects of further improvement show clearly that sho is a worthy representative. A very promising young trotter seen out this season was Kuini, a three-year-old filly by Nelson Bingen—Golden Grattan, who is owned and trained by E. Paul, of Te Awamutu. After being a useful second to Golden Eagle, another Nelson Bingen three-year-old, on the first day at Thames. Kuini turned the tables on the second day, alid at'Te Aroha she rail second to Indolent. Brought ta Epsom for .tbe..May meeting, she did not show" up as well an expected and was' given a spell. The filly has been taken in hand 'again and with a little moro age and experience should develop into a solid and useful trotter. WiHwhata, who was sold for £5 by his breeder a few seasons ago. showed a good deal of improvement this season and won just on £2OO in prize-money for three wins and four minor placings. W. G. Stephens, of Te Aroha, has induced him to go moro ! solidly *han in -former years, and his successes 11 Cambridge. Hamilton and Rotorua were gained in a style that suggests ho mav render further good service next season. A 1 Mack and Gineta jire and dam respectively of Wiriwhata. were importations. . The big "Worthy Bond pacing gelding Whakahihi has been unlucky, and, although he is asked to concede good starts to several winners in the improvers' classes, is still a maiden. Ho gained minor places, before the present handicapping system rame into operation and in consequence has suffered in comparison with many horses that have since w-on races. He was due for a favourable revision of his marks at the end of this season, but by finishing second in tho Eureka Handicap at Hamilton he has again established his lino for next season..

SOUTHERN TROTTING . TRAINING AT ADDINGTON PREPARATION OF ROYAL SILK The main track at Addinglon provided firm, fast footing on Saturday, when interesting work was done in preparation for tho New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's August Moetin/?. Garner trottod two miles evenly, tho last milo and a-quarter in 2.50 3-5. E. C. McDermott has started work again on Garner's rising three-year-old brother, who also goes at tho trotting gait, and much resembles her in appearance and his style of This morning he trotted a half in 1.12. Cloudy Rango has been built up in condition by McDermott and hit out well in an unhoppied essay. Tondaleyo, in tho samo stable, has on injured hock, which bears an ugly appearance,- but it is responding to treatment. Royal tiilk, although still very much abovo himself, paced brilliantly to be on terms with Gold Country at the finish of a eix-furlongs dash, tho last quarter of . which sliowed 0.33 2-ss. Checkers and Lord Leslie wont away from the mile and tt-half post in front of Matchmaker, with Colorado giving the leader nearly ss. Colorado had decreased tho ga:> by about 2s at the milo, which showed 2.21, and. pacing strongly from (lien on. he collared Matchmaker and Lord Leslie, but could not gather Checkers, who boat him by over a length. Colorado went the mile and a-half in 3.26 3-5, the last half in 1.5 3-5. Great Author went a milo and a-half alone and Worthy Queen stepped at about a 2.25 gait for ft milo and a-quarter. Free Advice led General Wrack throughout a mile and a-half in 'A:£) 3-5. Free Advice is big in condition. Indianapolis, who has boen doing most of his work lately alone, did a mile and a-half comfortably in 3.27. Nelson At.i did not finish too willingly in the concluding furlongs of .a milo and a-half, but ho has not been up very long. Stanley T. and. John Jinks were again paired over a mile and a-half, and John Jinks, after conceding his companion a start, was handv at th? finish in 3.27. Thornworthy paced Clem Dawe for a niilo and a-half, the first mile in 2.24 3-5 and the milo and a-half in «.33. Clem Dawe finished fairly well to bo on tcrma with Thornworthy.
