HORSES FOR TIMARU HAERE TONU GOES , WELL [BY TELEGBAPH—OWX COKRKSPOKDEKT] CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday Haero Toiiu, who lias not been too I sound during his career to date, suffered no ill effects from his successful outing at Ashburton on Saturday and sprinted three furlongs in 38 l-5s today. This young Hunting Song gelding may now develop into a more consistent t, take-earner. Copyist lvaa responsible for another smart gallop to-day, covering six furlongs in 1.16, the last half in 51s. He is to be ridden at Ellerslie by L. J. Ellis. His stable-mate i Scarlet Rambler ran a similar journey m i company with Heather Glow, but not sent against time. She will be ridden at Ellerslie by H. Mackinnon, who has also been encaged for Dark Marble in the Cornwall Handicap, and Prince Val. Fleeting Glance (G. Barr) was sent over four hurdles to-day. She got in closer than usual to two of the fences, but otherwise gave a satisfactory display. ■Rational 11. (H. Turner) and Arcade (Murfitt) Rave a good exhibition over eigUt steeplechase fences, Arcade especially shaping well. He may race prominently over the comparatively light obstacles at Tirnaru on Saturday. Rational 11. has not so fur made any mistakes over the schooling fences and interest will centra in his first essay as a steeplechaser. . Rebel Chief was given a strong working gallop over seven furlongs, moving freely, and evidently his race at. Ashburton when ho went from last to first m a short stretch of ground, did him no harm. Ho gives indications of staying on and will have to bo seriously regarded at Washdyke. _ Two No Trumps survived his trip to Ashburton without any recurrence of his tendon trouble and galloped well, over six furlongs Royal Limond, Silver Foil and the fivo-year-old gelding in H. Nurses stable by Polazel from Sweet Beauty were associated iD a schooling task over a round of, the hurdles to-day. The last-named, who is a half-brother to Rebel Star, outjumped his mates and was well ahead of l{°yal Liinom. when he wan pulled up after the third fence was negotiated. He has the makings of u< high-class performer and shows tl>« benefit of previous experience in the hull - ing field and in the show-ring. Royal Limond was not impressive, whilo Silver I oil. wiio looks far from being himself, only struggled over his fences. . . „ , , Royal Amphora's weak finishing offmt at Ashburton on Saturday suggested that ho was short of a race" and he was given a. rousing gallop over five furlongs to : day. covering the distance in 1.1 1-5. the last three in 37 2-ss. With another such gallop on Thursday lie should be in the right ioito to make amends at Washdyke on Saturday. High Rank jnade a very poor showing at Ashburton and it has been decided not to further persevere with her as a racing proposition. , The four-year-old filly Berate, who unfortunately became affected in the wind, is not to bo raced again. She has lately been doing duty as a stablefhack and will be putto the stud next season. Her owner, G. Murray Aynsley, has not decided on a sire for her and the same position exists in regard to his other brood mares. Reproachful. Orange Blossom. Disdainful and Contempt. A. TO. Ellis has had offers to ride at Ellerslie and also at, Wingntui, but will probably be at the Otaki fixture. Manetho made his reappearance to-day and was ridden round the inside tracks for the first time for some months. He looks a picture of health and his trainer docs not anticipato any further trouble with him. Riding engagements for South Canterbury are as follows:—G. Humphries, Quietlv, Martian Chief; A. S.
