TAKANINI HORSES

ORIENTAL BAY IN FORM SACCONE DEFEATS LYSIS HIGH SEA AND SILVER GLOW GLEN CONNELL IMPROVING With over 40 horses from the district entered for the Franklin Racing Club's meeting at Pukekohe on Saturday, the track work at Takanini yesterday was interesting. The outside grass, which was in good order, was used for galloping. Gay Opal (Clifford) shaped pleasingly while covering six furlongs in 1.15 2-5. Oriental Bay (Collett) impressed more than Rey Lu (Clarke) oVer five furlongs in 1. 3 3-5, running the first two in 255. Saccone (Green) defeated Lysis (Spinley) .over half a mile in 495. Nordic Song (Cornerford) also took part in the sprint, but finished riderless, having swerved and dislodged her rider near the finish. Cornerford escaped with a shaking. Constant Star Sprints Constant Star (G. Smith) was credited with 51s for half a milo. Miss Eureka (E. Clifford) v. as not bustled to run the same distance in 525. High Sea (Beguely) was doing better than Silver Glow (Parkinson) at the end of seven furlongs in 1.33 3-5. The last half-mile was run in 51s. Glen Connell (Green) worked with Hunting Cape (Curwen) over three furlongs in 37 l-ss. Glen Connell, who is on the improve, finished attractively. Orelio (G. Smith) ran three furlongs nicely in 375. Pocket Venus (E. Clifford) went five furlongs, the first two in 255. Although no time was taken for the full distance, she moved freely throughout. Little Star (E. Clifford) covered half a milo in 50 3-ss. Dauber (Bartle) ran seven furlongs easily in 1.37. An Attractive Mover Tellsoni (E. Smith) ran half a mile in 49 3-ss. He is an attractive mover and one likely to develop winning form later. On the plough Marie's Acre (Tinker) and Philcourt (Bartle), after completing useful work over a circuit, ran three furlongs in 425. Ivy Willonyx (E. Smith) and Dutch Girl (Michel) indulged in a circuit together at a solid pace. Others to do useful work included Valimeen and Brilliant Acre.

Mia Acrea (Green) and Lap Up (Ray) covered seven furlongs in 1.35 3-5, with the former doing the better at the finish. Coß?etarium (Walters) and Vaalstar (Bartle) were companions in useful work, running the last two furlongs in 265. Hunter's Rose, looking bright after her race at Te Aroha, worked at a sound pace. Takanini horses added £835 to their earnings at Te Aroha, with three firsts, one second and four thirds. Gay Movie, looking refreshed after a short spell, is again on the active list. Rising Two-year-old Among the rising two-year-olds being ridden is one by Defoe from Lorrelle owned by Mr. C. Foote. This youngster is one of C. Morse's team. After racing at Wanganui, Parquet was taken south where she will probably indulge in a little racing under F. Christmas prior to being retired to the stud. According to C- Morse, Parquet _ was decidedly unfortunate not -to win the Wanganui Cup, as~c?Jhe was cramped for room when making her run. Parquet will be mated with Alan's Pal next season. Our Jean suffered s slight injury while racing at Te Aroha, cutting the 'off foreleg just below the knee. Tho injury is not likely to cause her any : nconvenience.
