It is reported that a substantial offer has been refused for Bonnie Chela. W. Connor and L. J. Clutterbuck were riding work at Wingatui yesterday morning. Scottish Dale worked well yesterday morning, and should be found making a bold bid to win the James Hazlett Gold Cun.
Joygiver strode out freely in a sprint over half a mile yesterday morning, and looks in good shapfe to run to his Champagne Stakes form. The fields for the Waihola Handicap and the Novice Handicap are close to the safety number, and it would be in the interests of all concerned if they were run in divisions. Monetary was let off with easy work yesterday morning A rise of 31b on what he wen under at Invercargill should not seriously hamper him in the Flying Fortress Handicap. Lord Advocate was not galloped yesterday morning, but travelled over two circuits on the inside grass at a strong half-pace. He looks none the worse for his racing at the southern meetings. Lyr.dal was trotted and cantered on the inside at Wingatui yesterday, and was treated to easy exercise. It is understood that she was galloped on the previous day. The Man’s Pal filly looks in good shape and shows no signs of soreness.
Amorlad, The Raker, and Sascha have been made favourites for the D.J.C. Handicap. and Monetary for the Flying Fortress Handicap. Lord Advocate, Invulnerable, and Sister Sal are next to Monetary in favour. Scottish Dale was taken out of the D.J.C. Handicap at 9.10 a.m. yesterday. Amorlad returned to Riccarton after racing in the Duned’n Cup. He was amongst those worked at Wingatui yesterday morning. In the D.J.C. Handicap Amorlad meets The Raker on 51b and Scottish Dale on 61b better terms than when they met in the Dunedin Cup, in which the order pass'ng the post was Palfrey, The Raker, Macedoine, Justitia, Amorlad and Invincible. The margins were a head, half a length, two lengths, and a head. Amorlad’s chance would be improved if a fall of rain softened the going.
