SATURDAY MORNING AT WINGATUI

The track proceedings at Wingatui on Saturday morning were naturally quiet with most of the horses at the Cromwell meeting, but the half-dozen engaged at the Oamaru meeting this week were not away. The few fust trials were confined to the inside grass as the course proper along the back had been under water earlier in the week. The going was cut np and soft on top, but firm underneath. Final Bell and Daring Deed provided most interest in travelling six furlongs in Imin 22sec. The former was staying on well at the finish, where he was half a length in front of his mate. A two-year-old filly in D. J. M’Donald’s stable hit out in a pleasing manner with Great Pal over three furlongs in 41 sec. Master Anomaly ran half a mile in 53 ]-ssee. This was a good effort for one just hack to the tracks. Bine Metal and Salmo Salar ran on terms for the first mile of a mile and aquafter, when the latter was done. Blue Metal finishing full of life four lengths ahead of his companion. The last seven furlongs took Imin 40 4-ssec. The relation by Tractor to High Gear also galloped on the flat over the sanie ground. He showed Imin 26 l-ssoc for the last six furlongs, and, not satisfied with this task, ho took charge of his rider and gnllope.d a round the reverse wav before being stopped. Neither he nor Blue Metal was asked to jump, as has been the order lately. Hula Belle and Amy Johnson did a working gallop over seven furlongs, taking Imin 45sec.

, Tizzy, a Wingatui entry for the Great Autumn Handicap, was set a steady run over a mile and a-half. Just ag she was finishing her task, Blue Metal was completing his, and she sprinted him home over the final furlong, when Salmo Salar dropped out. * , . . Cherry Queen, with her trainer up, pulled hard a s usual when going about half-pace over seven furlongs, and Royal Pal, Look Smart, Paladino, Glenrowan, Silk Paper, and Redolent were others who did useful work. . Jaunt ’(J. Richards) provided the only school. He jumped four of the big fences in his usual safe style, but was inclined to be a little lazy.
