ELLERSLIE WORK

HONOTJBS TO ALL IBISH

FASTEST SPRINTING TRIAL GOOD EFFORT OVER FENCES Tho outstanding feature of tho work at Ellerslie yesterday morning was splendid schooling arid a smart sixfurlong gallop by the jumper, All Irish. The No. 2 grass was used for fast work, the going being good. After running the first three furlongs in 41 l-ss, Knight of Australia (Clarke) completed six furlongs in 1.22 1-5. Ho was travelling evenly throughout and could have done better. Palmint (Fearn) finished tho last thrco furlongs of useful work in 40 4-ss. Inability to begin well in his races has prejudiced his chances up to date. Aero King (McTavish) strode over five furlongs in 1.9 4-5, tho last three in 41 3k>s. Ho was going comfortably and is in first-rate order. Wee Pat (Clarke) camo homo strongly, tlie last four furlongs of her work at threequarter pace. She has been getting through pottering work for some time and gives every indication of staging a comeback this winter. High Star Retains Condition High Star (McTavish) went at strong three-quarter pace over six furlongs. He worked with freedom arid should go on to further success as a hurdler. Bright Idea (Buchanan) was timed to run the last three of six furlongs in 42 3-ss. Ho was doing it easily and looks a likely improver. Electric Spear (Fearn) pleased by recording 52 2-5s lor half a mile, tho first furlong taking 12 4-os. This Spear. Dance—Lady Electra gelding has improved with his recent rating and now shows distinct promise. The Trimmer (Tucker) finished in front of Summary (McTavish) overfive furlongs in 1.6 2-5, the first quarter in 25 2-ss. The Trimmer has speed, but disappointed at Pukekohe last week. Mundane (Craig) was Under a food hold to run six furlongs in 1.27 -5. She looks well after her Pukekohe race. Ohmaha (Murray) was finishing strongly at the end of half a mile in 535. Te Hai (Watson) and School Song (Cammick) sprinted the last three furlongs of their work in 395, with Te Hai doing the better. In a similar task Valmint (Murray) registered 41 l-ss. He is bearing an improved appearance after his race at Pukekohe and should be in fine trim for the June meeting at Ellerslie. Alyth Gallops Smoothly The best gallop of the morning was credited to All Irish (Cammick), who covered, six furlongs in 1.18 4-5, the first three being run in 38 3-ss. He was running on strongly and it was a good performance for a jumper. V. ' .-/ Shy (Nicolson) ran half a mile'irt 52 4-ss, the last three in 38 4-ss. Ho finished well and looks better: now -than he has done for some time. Alyth (Gilchrist) traversed six furlongs in 1.20, tho first three taking 40s. She went very evenly and should be in good trim for her WaikatQ engagements. The Illumination mare, Tanya (Watson), displayed natural ability in a school over four hurdles. Tupeotu (Butterworth) cleared eight hurdles in safe manner, but did not have much pace. Neil (Stokes) and My Money (Stewart) were companions in a bout over four of the steeplechase fences on the flat." Both jumped well, My Money in particular, giving an improved display. ; •:.. . „• *. ■■■ ?*•- •■■■ With the. pace on, AIl-Jrish nor) negotiated%*the sa'ind and gave a pfeasihg exhibitidn. •
