RICfcARTON NOTES » . fßwr.ia' to th* H*raW.< OHRTSTCHURCH; this day. Count Gavour ii now moving along a bit faster in his work. Ho looks in the befit of health and he should be at the top of his form again for the Auckland Racing Club's meeting.. HO Ms? a bijr weight to carry in the Auckriivn. but this was to be. expected after his Now Zealand Cup win, find he is likely to race well in his engagements at Ellorslio, a course on . which he has a great record. _ i Footfall has gone on well m his prej paration since ihe C.J.C; meeting at which he showed very consistent form, and he should be in the best of order for his Auckland engagements. Ho is favorably treated in the Auckland Cup with 7.7, and ho should run a good race provided he can see the journey out. There is no definite line :on this point as he has never been. i seriously tried over long distances, | but his breeding lines are favorable ■ for a stayer. It is by no means eerf tain that he will be running in thCf • Auckland Cup as he has been nomin- ! atod for a minor event on the first I day, but he only requires average:' '; hick to' pay his way on the trip. At Riccarttih on Saturday Footfall was given a rousing gallop over H miles. He worked alone for a mile, where a i companion Joined in and completed the> ' journey with him. The first ten fur-, longs -ivere rmi in 2miri. 14sec.
