WANGANUI TRACK

TRIAL BY SUBMISSION SIX FURLONGS IN 1.17 3-5 HOMILY PERFORMS SOLIDLY [FROM OUIt .OWN correspondent} . WANGANUI, Saturday A smart gallop by "tho Guineas candidate Submission was the feature of the training operations at Wanganui tracks to-day. The weather was fine, but there was a keen wind from the north-west, which the horses had to face oyer the final stages. The No. 1 grass track was in good order, in spite of the soaking it had received in tho past fortnight. Submission gave Amatory about three lengths and a beating over six furlongs in 1.17 3-5. Amatory was slow to get going and Submission ran into a clear lead before they had covered a furlong. Submission ran tho first two furlongs in 24 4-5s and four furlongs in 50s. She was under a nice hold at this stage and fairly wide out on the track, enabling Amatory to make up some of his leeway, but she came away at tho end. Amatory had a shade the better of the weights, being ridden by the apprentice, D. M. Home. Submission finished full of running. Entail Goes Steadily

After doing a circuit of strong pace work, Entail (W. Rayner) ran half a mile nicely in 53 4-ss. Homily (E. Ludlow), after running the fiirst halfmile in 54 2-ss, completed six furlongs in 1.19 3-5. • ' Baron Bold, who is to go to New Plymouth for . tho amateur riders' events at the combined hunt meeting, took 54s for his first four furlongs and was then steadied to complete six in 1.22 1-5. He was ridden by Miss R.' Jackson. The Aero gelding, who will probably race as Land Crv, finished half a length-in front of Portal (W. Rayner), with Dynasty (E. Ludlow) a couple of lengths away, at the end of six furlongs in 1.18 4-5. The first four furlongs were run .in ols. The Acre gelding is being trained by L. G. Butler. The two fillies in : W. H. Dwyer's stable ran three furlongs down the back in 40 4-ss. One is a sister to Pekoe, being by Kiosk from' Court Step, a sister to Grand Jury and Knoll;mere, and the other is by Foxbridge |from Air Lassie, by Romeo from Air Queen, a sister to the useful Flying Prince. Useful Efiort by "Uvedale Uvedale (D. 51. Home), after running the first two furlongs in 24 4-ss, completed half a mile in 51 4-ss. It was a useful effort. Lowenberg was allotted strong work over a couple of circuits. Golden Hawk, by Lord Quex — Helen Winkie, covered a. couple of rounds at a little better than halfpace, moving freely. Smoke Screen began from the mile post and ran half a mile in 54 3~55. Scandal moved freely over half a mile in 52 4-ss. He is to be allowed to drop out of the Wanganui Guineas, but will contest the maiden event at the coming meeting. Russian Ballet ran four furlongs from the mile post in 54 l-ss. She is inclined to be a little wayward on Lhe track. Red Cat was not pushed to register 55s for the last half-mile of a round. Several others, including EL W. Johnston's team, did Useful work.
