RICCARTON NOTES LADY VALKYRIE JUMPS WELL [flV TEI.EGRAFH —OWN CORRESPONDENT] CHRISTCHURCH, Monday Lancer was given ft schooling task over the steeplechase fences to-day. He jumped the first well, but ran of! at the second sod wall. Taken back for a short run ho cleared the obstacle and completed two rounds, jumping tho sod wall the second time without showing any inclination to evade it. Lancer was ridden by G. Murfitt owing to his trainer, D. O'Connor, having injured his leg at Trentham on Saturday. Lady Valkyrie (H. Turner) gave a fast and clever display over four hurdles. She is due to have her first race over the battens at Washdyke on Saturday next. The first appearance in a hurdle race of the Greymouth-owned gelding Rational who is due to contest the Studholmo Hurdles at Waimato on Thursday, will create interest. Some of his schooling l)ft3 not been encouraging, but last week, in company with Don Jose and Dukla on two occasions. he eave impressive displays. Chief Light and Strong Light failed bndlv in the holding going on tho first two dn.vs at Trentham and were not accepted for in Saturday's programme. They returned to Riccarton on Saturday morning and will not be seen in action again until the Grand National gathering.

J. BRYCE'S GOOD ~ TEAM RED SHADOW WELL FORWARD T. Bryce has Red Shadow well forward for the new season's racing and he will be a competitor at the Augnst meeting at Addington. If was at the initial meeting this season that Red Shadow won two important races and was second in the National Handicap. He is now on 2.11 for a mile and a-quarter nnd on 4.'24 for two miles. A win over 10 furlongs will not prejudice his twomiles murk. If the going at Addington is heavy. Red Shadow may again open the season auspiciously. The aged pacing gelding Meteor is among the latest additions to Oakhampton Lodge. Meteor is n reliable gelding and is Rood in saddle and in harness and over any distance. He competed at tho winter meeting of the Canterbury Park Trotting Club, where he ran second to Avernus in tho Advance Handicap, one mile and a-quarter. Meteor is particularly good in heavv going. Great Chenault has been kept in shape throughout the winter period and is in splendid order for early spring raring. He has done particularly well under the tutelage of Bryre who deserves credit for the manner in which he lias improved this goodlnoking pacer. Great Chenault will be one of the stable's most able rcnopontntires at the August, meeting at Addington. The chestnut pacing geMing Sodium is now in Bryce's Btable. Sodium is owned by Messrs. Clarkson and Graham, and is ii very fast pacer by Great Audubon from a mare hv Logan Pointer. Sodium competed in saddlo events at the Canterbury Park Trotting Club's Winter Meeting and spoilt his prospects through failing to begin properly. Bryce has a good opinion of the gelding and hopes to induce him to mend ■ his ways at tho barrier. Among the novices at Oakhampton Lodge is a compact two-year old by Cathedral Chimes from Wild Sunset, owned bv a lndy enthusiast who resides at Oamcrii. This two. year-old is a coll and is sliowin" outstanding ability as n pacer. Tie will probably m«ke his appearance at the spring mcetin"". where numerous opportunities are available for maiden performers.
