Thrasher was a little too good for .Tournet and Contact over a mile in 1.48. The Grasper ran six furlongs in 1.19, being brought home over the last four in 53s by Solio and Peter Beckford.

' NEW PLYMOUTH, Thursday Although the course at New Plymouth was rather heavy for training operations this morning there were some interesting gallons by horses with engagements at Te Rapa next week. All the galloping took place on the trial grass. Whoa Johnnie had a good break on Red Fox in the early stages of a six furlongs gallop, but he tired at the end and the pair were on tei;ms at the finish, the last five furlongs taking 1.9. Whoa Johnnie showed a good turn of pace. Red Fox finished solidly. Davistock and Aussie Ra were restricted to steady pace work. They came through their racing at Bulls in good style and are in excellent order for future engagements. Aussie Ra will be competing at Te Rapa. There was little between Glenvane and Bonny Glow at the conclusion of half a mile in 53Js, both moving freely. Bonny Glow has been sharpened up considerably by her race at Waverley, and this was one of her best efforts to date. Lady Kyra was responsible for the best gallop of the morning when sho beat Chikara by a length and a-half over five furlongs in 1.4 J. Considering the state of the track, this was a really good gallop and showed that sho has benefited considerably as a result of her race at Waverley. She should prove capable of running prominently at Te Rapa. . Hinky Pinky cantered, finishing the last three furlongs at a little better than three-quarter pace. She is progressing nicely, but'may not race again until Christmas. Tahurangi was let off with an easy task. He failed badly at Bulls, but will Srobably fulfil his engagements at Te apa. R. Barlow will also take Refresher north. The Lackham —Tigitiya mare Arvada has a filly foal to Philamor and has left to visit Defoe.
