TRENTHAM TRACK

BILLY BOY YERY FIT

DIAMOND'S RECOVERED DASH

ESCAPADE BY RED SUN

[by telegraph—own correspondent] WELLINGTON, Thursday Considering the proximity of the Wellington meeting, proceedings on the Trentham tracks this morning were not inspiring and few visitors have arrived. The tracks arc heavy and greasy, but they are improving and late in the morning were drying well. An improved showing by Diamond was noted. Ho was schooled twice over the three fences on the inside of the course and gave a good display, showing much more dash and pulling up well. It looks as if he is now coming back to his best. Red Sun was on the course, but hp was not worked, spending most of the. time under the hose. He bolted with u light boy twice round on the sand on Wednesday morning and is now feeling the effects. It may prevent his starting in the Trentham Hurdles.

Vinco i.s a novice hurdler who has been showing encouraging schooling. Ho went, very well this morning with Camilla Horn over five fences. The latter gave a fair display. The Ranger was worked, and although a leg is still bandaged, ho does not appear very sore.

Shy put up a good effort over seven furlongs with Arctic King. Windward went with them early, but began to drop back from the half-mile and tho other pair stayed together. Arctic King had tho advantage at tho post when shaken up, but Shy went very well, for ho had the outside running all tho wav. Tho time was 1.155.

Hunter's Morn and Big Dook ran five furlongs, the last half-mile in 555. Neither was doing anywliero near his best. Hunter's Morn may have been doing it tho better and he impressed.

Chile was trotted in the centre of the course. Ho does not show much signs of soreness, but his trainer is afraid to take a risk.

Billy Boy galloped seven furlongs with the maiden Blue Bell. He did not have her pace at the finish, but ho worked with plenty of dash. Billy Boy never looked better.

Emotion did two rounds of solid pacing. He appears to be improving. Siegmund was holding The Sandwichman at the end of five furlongs. Tho latter, who is in the charge of I{. E. Coveney, is looking well. Coveney intends to apply for a renewal of lus licence, which he handed in after meeting with serious injuries. NOVICES IMPRESSED DANNEVIRKE HUNT RACES WINNERS NOT REHANDICAPPED [by TELEGRAPH —OWN* CORItESPONDENT] WELLINGTON, Thursday Mr. 11. Coyle will not rehandieap the Dnnnevirke Hunt Club winners, Hunting Star and Count Wilionyx, for their engagements on the opening day at Wellington.

There wore two novices at the Dannevirke Hunt Club meeting who rather impressed in their first racing essays. Great Hope, who was runnerup in the Takapau Novice Stakes, is Mr. T. A. Duncan's three-year-old chestnut gelding by Laughing Prince from Enthusiasm, and thus a halfbrother to Hunting Queen and Fntheos. Great Hope is a Trial Plate candidate, run oi\ the second day at Trenthnrn. Silent Acre, who was considered unlucky not to win the amateur riders' event, is a five-year-old brother to Mnnnwatu and is trained for his breeder, Mr. F. S. Faston, bv Mrs. A. W. McDonald at Awapuni. Silent Acre is a well-grown gelding and a promising sor.t.

SHORTER INTERVALS

CHRISTCHURCH SUPPORT

AUCKLAND REMIT OPPOSED

[by TELEGRAPH—OWN correspondent] CIIRISTCIIU ROH, Thursday

At the annual meeting of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club last evening Mr. A. S. Gurnev said he hoped the delegate to the annual Trotting Conference had received' instructions to vote against a remit which sought to permit longer intervals between races. He was surprised to find such a remit being presented by the Auckland Trotting Club, which had previously declared in favour of a 35minute interval. He would not like to see the old order of things back again, with interminable delays between the races.

Much interest is being taken in a remit to the Racing Conference seeking to rescind a motion, passed 12 months ago. deleting trotting events from hunt club programmes. In anticipation of the remit being carried, trainers had horses in work for the Christchurch Hunt Club's meeting this month, but the programme has already been framed, without any provision for trotting horses.
