At Trehthami'he should be a better ; horse; than - Avhe|n he. finished^ second to Harbour View last month and may show up among the hacks; Heavy going will be a factor m his favor. . , .■■.•'• •- '■ * '.-'*■■-•' TWO of the fittest horses at Ellerslie are Master Doon and Kamehameha.

"WHAT delayed you?" Or .. coming home without the horse, ; SOUND WORK THERE has been nothing special ■ about the latest track doings of Beau' Cavalier, but he has done a lot of 3ound work and long walking exercise. He has not seen a fence since he fell in -the Winter Steeplechase, but will probably have, a school at Trentham before contesting ' the Wellington Steeplechase. ". ■ '•■■•,. MEITHER Catapult nor. Kawiiii has ■ visited Ellerslie since the winter meeting, but .they have been toiling usefully at Papatoetoe.
