TE AROHA TOPICS

LUCY ROSE HAS GONE TO PAPATOETOE MARBLE KING’S PROGRAMME (Special to THE SUN) TE AROHA, Friday. Marble King has recommenced his course work, and has settled down better than previously this season. He carries over lOst in all his work, ana does it well. He will probably be among the starters at the Avondale meeting, where the long straight may suit him. _ It is understood that Lucy Rose will join R. Hall’s stable at Papatoetoe, although she is still in the sale list at a good horse’s price. As she has been kept on hard feed during her respite from work, she should be ready to race in a few weeks. E. A. Keesing has resumed his attendance at the course. He will be riding at the Grand National meeting next month. , R. B. Hines has recommissioned Queen Arch and Lady Mestor, and this week will bring along the juvenile Balfour, King Win, and the Lucullus — Picture two-year-old filly. They are all in nice trim, and it will be interesting to note how the King Lu colt shapes in his work, because he is so well grown that his pace may suffer while he is furnishing. The Hines stable is generally well up in the winning list, and nejst season may not be an exception in this respect. Volimond Back The Waihou sportsman, Mr. Alex. Swney, has just put Volimond and the Lacemaker filly into work. They are being brought over to the local course, but so far have not been asked to go fast. The Limond filly showed plenty °f speed this season, but the stripping a hind leg at Te Rapa last November necessitated a very lengthy sped. The mare has made a good recovery, next season may repay the owner a>r his enterprise in bringing such a well bred one to the district. In schooling work during the week, Archeen, The Lamb, and Ah Wera have been jumping nicely. While the pound is heavy, it will be difficult to know which is likely to gain first honours in the coming season. On Thursday morning The Lamb’s owner was Present to witness his horse at work, Du t only pacing was indulged in. A Useful Team Trainer George Reid now has a fair ifam i n Work> It comprises Glenstar, pjg, Crown Arch, King Lap, Wee prince, and Acheen. If a fair share p dry weather is experienced in the few weeks, he will be represented p Avondale by the most forward membeE* of the team. H. Wallace has his horses nicely forward, and they are all in full work. T^ Ve Call, soon to rank among the e ®-year-olds, is doing well, while nJn or Orange, Lucky Alice, and . .Star are getting through their psks well. SLr Russel has been kept r? ?*■ a B the winter, and may be said be thriving on it. Judging by his

conformation, he will probably gallop better on dry tracks, so may not be an early winner. The two Glen Albyn fillies in A. pox s team are showing satisfactory improvement. Both handle the heavy going in fine style. At Matamata Quite a number of horses are being trained at Matamata, and the coming season is being looked forward to with ■ interest, as it is expected the winning List will assume creditable proportions. This season’s list of winners is as follow:—Star of the East, £615; Lnoco, £697; Leitrim. £275; The Jack jumper, £230; Valroe, £1,500; Prince Vay, £128; Flapperette, £67; Red Lay, £6O; Sports King, £SO; Spring Abbey, £45; Valstreet, £3O; Oscar, £2O; Kiri, £ls. The two-year-old filly by Quin Abbey Tiki, owned by Mrs. J. McSweeney, has been placed with trainer R. Martin at Matamata. It is well spoken ofas likely to make good on the turf. „ „ Carmont is wintering his team well. unoeo is likely to run prominV*}}y ln the coming season, as his condition will now stand to him. Hlack Maire will be ready to carry the colours at any time now. The only one of the team is "the Marble Arch gelding, Upoko, and it may be some months before lie again enters the racing arena. A fair amount of track work took place at Te Aroha on Thursday morning. The Lamb put in three rounds at better than half-pace; Lucky Alice and Belle Star slipped along over a round; Ah Wera went very freely over a mile; and William of Orange reeled through a similar distance at a solid pace. Glenstar, Trig, Crown Arch, King Lap, Upoko, Wee Prince, the two Glen Abbey fillies, King Arch and Marble King, put in sound work, while General Latour and Bert Hinkler negotiated a mile steadily. A couple of races may improve the latter, as he keeps pretty fresh.
