TE RAPA TRAINING

YOUNG PADDON PLEASES HUNTING BLOOD SHOWS PACE GOOD ROUND BY RACELINE [by telegraph OWN correspondent] HAMILTON, Thursday Good sprints by Young Paddon and Hunting Blood were the most noteworthy of this morning's trials at Te Rapa, when tho going on the course proper, 70ft. out from tho rails, was heavy and cutting out. Hunting Blood (Long) ran home from tho three-furlong post in 30 l-ss. He has taken no harm from racing at Matamata and is to contest the Haero Ra Handicap at Rotorua on Saturday. A rising two-year-old by Nightly tO, Mclnally) ran three furlongs in •11 3-os. He is coming to hand nicely. Trilliarch (Mcynell) negotiated five furlongs in 1.13, Ho handled tho conditions well and is not without prospects at Arawa Park. Genoral Risko (Long) took 1.1 l 3.5. Raceline (Long) worked over a round, to finish full of running, while Fat Boy (Meynoil) was not after time in traversing a similar distance. Among thoso sprinted down the straight were Bronze Bird, Gas Acre, Glenbevan, Gay Rosetto and Etcetera. The best gallop of tho morning was that of Young Paddon (O. Mclnally), who traversed seven furlongs in 1.-12 2-5. Ho ran his first furlong in 13s, two in 25 l-ss, threo in 30 4-5s and tho first half-mile in 50 3-ss, which time, under tho conditions, was very satisfactory. It has not been announced which race will' - bo his mission on Saturday, the Tally Ho Cup or the Haere Ra Handicap, but- in whichever he starts be should tako a deal of beating. Biack Musk (Muir) gavo a satisfactory exhibition over six hurdles. SERVICEABLE WORK HORSES AT TAKANINI DAUBER LEAVES FOR'SOUTH Owing to heavy rainfall overnight, the tracks at Takanini were open yesterday only to horses with engagements at tho Rotorua meeting. Air Port, Abordovey and Hunting Beo were allotted serviceable tasks over four furlongs, all working keenly without being after time. They will leave to-dny for Rotorua, where Air Port is engaged on tho first day and Aberdovey on Monday. Both will be ridden by H. X. Wiggins. Dauber left for Riccarton yesterday, his early departure being on account of his engagement at the Christchurch Hunt Club's meeting, which will precode his more important mission in the Grand National Steeplechase. He will be ridden in his southern engagements by D. J. Burgess. Cornish has returned looking well after a spell and will be prepared by F. Smith. He is regarded as a promising three-year-old, having earned quick promotion from novice company, and 110 showed ability to stay. Payette has rejoined P. E. Pope's stable. Sho scored a surprise win at the Avondale spring meeting, when she defeated her morofancied stable-mate, Kentucky. Pa.vetto was very small in the spring, but she has grown a littlo and has furnished appreciably. Jack Tar has been an absentee from the track since competing at tho Matamata meeting, where ho broke "down. It is feared that a small bone in one of his forelegs was broken. If this is confirmed, Jack Tar may havo seen the last of the racetrack, and, at best, his spell from trnining will be of long duration. ■ This season he won £BOS in stakes. He had also shown aptitude at hurdling, having run second -to Tidewniter on the second day of the Wellington meeting.
