LATE RACING

ELLERSLIE NOTES THIS MORNINGS WORK No. 1 grass was freelv used this morning, but as the going was very heavy no fast times were registered. \V aitekohe strode over seven furlongs. taking 1.45. while Marita also covered a like distance, and ran the last six furlongs in 1.27. Wonder Star took two-fifths of a second longer to complete the last six of a sevenfurlong gallop. Cawnpore left six furlongs behind in 1.29 1-5, after performing slow pace work, and Master Mind and a companion ran six in 1.26 4-5. After the breakfast adjournment. Bahadur apd Alonsoa covered seven furlongs in 1.37, while the jumpers Passin’ Through. Day Bell, and Tom Moore compassed a round in 2.4 2-5. Didn’t Like the Going. Killute and Wyoming left six furlongs behind in 1.23, but Wyoming was boring out at the finish, and apparently did not relish the going. There was very little jumping this morning. Golden Glass and Queen Emerald (both -ridden by Burgess» were the only ones to clear the battens, each jumping two hurdles satisfactorily. The 'chasers Beau Cavalier and Sir Roseberry were each galloped at halfpace, the first-named pulling up verv well. Under a Cloud. While competing at the Whangarei meeting, Awarere got galloped on. and was lame on Sunday and Mondav. This morning Mr. G. Paul had the gelding doi*g walking exercise only, and he appeared to be getting all right. Aussie and Papatu were each galloped at half-pace on the sand. Jumpers Gallop. Day Bell and Passin’ Through were under a pull to comfortably defeat Tom Moore in a bout over a round. Tom Moore was chased along most of the way, but finished a couple of lengths behind the other pair. Both Day Bell and Passin’ Through have been putting in good work, and should Strip fit for coming jumping events. Town Guard, who was showing signs of an enlarged knee, due to sustaining a knock, is having easy work meted out to him. A Whangarei Winner. The racing she had at Whangarei does not appear to have affected Charlady, and she is bowling along freely in her work. Charlady is speedy, seven and eight furlongs appearing to be her pet distances, despite the fact that she won over six furlongs at Whangarei. The English-bred Rosenor is putting in plenty of work, and is gradually getting into racing trim. The soft tracks should be to Rosenor’s liking. Effects of a Hard Race. The much-improved Respirator has lightened up with the hard race he had at Whangarei, but should be back to his old form for the Easter meeting. When last seen out, and while being led in company with another. Master Noel sustained two severe kicks, and was showing signs of lameness. However, the injuries are not serious, and he should be his old self again in a day or so. Not Yet Ready. Double Mint and Lord Swift are rounding into shape, though some time will elapse before they are seen at their best. C. NJoore will pilot Edifice in his jumping engagements, and A. McGregor will have the mount on Bahadur, at the forthcoming Auckland meeting. S. Henderson will most likely # ride Beau Cavalier, and A. H. Bust will be on Passin’ Through.
