QUILP REAPPEARS BROWN LAP AS HURDLER By "Trenton" Paul Robeson is quartered at Levin. Red Hunting is being allotted a lot of hill work. Head Shepherd and Guiding Light. arc both - looking exceptionally well and should be in splendid order for the local meeting. Minnow has been given a lot of pace work on the plough this week. Okawa and Mimicry have been given similar tasks. Quilp has reappeared on the training track and is big and well. Quilp slipped on the bitumen road some time ago and injured a shoulder, but is now completely recovered. Brown Lap, who has been weighted in the hurdle event at Paeroa, was schooled in Auckland, and showed marked aptitude in this department. However, he may need a little more experience before being seriously considered. The Makaraka course is fast approaching the good condition it was in prior to the steeplechase meeting. The bad patches that have yet to be attended to are where the horses took off at the hurdles and fences in the jumping events and at the different barriers where the horses scooped out the mud when taking off.
