AWAPUNI TRIALS

GALLOPS ON DEAD TRACK WANGANUI CANDIDATES Special to TUB SUN PALMERSTON N. t Tuesday. There was a fair amount of fast work at Awapuni this morning, tho work being of interest in view of the Wanganui meeting this week. The outside of the course proper was available to trainers, but the track was dead after Monday evening’s rain. Acc° Wltli H. Wiggins up. anil utairi (r. Green) were associated in a six furlongs gallop, the journey being cut out in 1.25, Otairi being a couple of lengths clear at the finish. _> Great Lady (W. J. McDowell) and Hule Britannia (Boyd) were sent seven turlongs. The latter was kept too far out and covered a lot of extra ground and was never with Great Lady, which had* to make all the running and covered the distance nicely in 1.37. Keddar is improving. He did some solid work. R. E. Hatch is recognised as a past master with apprentices, and in L. F. Faulkner he has another good horseman in the making. Young Faulkner is not very big, but he has a nice seat, good hands and a top piece. Hatch did well in recent years in bringing T. Green and K. Voitre to the front. ,Pah u (H. Wiggins) covered a mile alone in 1.53. He has builr. up well and is a nice winded horse. lie races at Wanganui the second day. Gran Chaco (H. Wiggins) and Sporting Chance (17. Green) finished together at the end of six furlongs, covered in 1.26. Both went well. Mirabilary was worked on the sand. She looks a picture. The Two-Year-Olds Two youngsters, Jean Ladosio and a Gasbag—Miss Love colt in Mrs. McDonald’s team, registered a very attractive gallop, cutting out two furlongs in 25.

Chief Cook (T. Green) and La Foupee (H. Wiggins) covered three furlongs in 39, both moving very attractively. Chief Cook is a beautiful colt, by Chief Ruler out of Cherry Pie.

Fiery Comet (A. McDonald) and Mister Gamp (A. Hobson) were sent over three hurdles, both jumping well. Mister Gamp is very fit at present and shquld give a good account of himself at Wanganui.

Lady Spear (H. Wiggins) and Spearopa (T. Green) finished together ahead of Kilorell (C. Broughton) at the end of five furlongs, cut out in 1.9. Kilorell got all the worst of the start and was in behind all the way. Archeria has been turned out and

Mr. W. H. Gaisford has sent Democratic over to L. Knapp. Democratic was out on the track this morning. He is in fine fettle and looks as if he has had a bit of work and it should not be long before he is sporting silk again. Coon Song s Trouble

Coon Song pulled up lame after work on Friday morning and could not fulfil his engagement at Marton on Saturday. The Hunt’iig Song gelding will not be racing at Wanganui on Thursday, and will probably be an absentee on Saturday. The injury is said to be a bruised heel, and it was most unfortunate for his connections, for Coon Song was in great nick. R. E. Hatch is afraid that the gelding will have to be turned out for a spell.
