WAIKATO DOINGS

HORSES FOR AVONDALE SEVERAL WELL FORWARD 3 udKijiK I>V Hu- solid pri-imratlon being put in by Waikato horses, this end of the province should contribute its quota of stake-earners to the new j season’s programme, writes The Sun’s travelling Waikato correspondent. Prodice, who appears among the nominations for the New Zealand Cup, is looking remarkably well, and is moving along smoothly in her preparation. The Catmint—Hyades marc has been responsible for some useful efforts on the To Awamutu training tracks of late, which indicates that she should repeat her satisfactory performance of last season. Prod ice is down to contest the Avondale Clip, in which she has the solid impost of 9.2. A. E. Ellis will ride Prodice. Will Win Money Karapoti is working along steadily and has undoubtedly benefited by his , Pakuranga outing. The General ! Latour gelding has been working on the To Awamutu track, and it should not be long before he is at the top of I his form. This member of A. Cook’s stable is a useful sort, and should pay his way this season. He may be a good stake-earner. Silver Division "has been schooled over hurdles, and though his exhibitions in this department have been of an attractive quality he may be kept to flat events for a time. The Valkyrian gelding gave promise early, but failed to pay a dividend. Hurdle Aspirant Sea Cob, who is entered for the Kingsland Hurdles at Avondale, is looking in good trim and has been performing liis tasks in attractivestyle. The Quin Abbey gelding has pace, and there can be no doubt as to bis jumping ability. Flying Prince showed by liis Pakuranga outing \ hat he is fairly well forward. The Flying King—Vanga colt looks a good deal better than he was last season, and his efforts on the [training track indicate that better j things will be heard of this member lof F. E. Loomb’s stable later on. Flying Prince is down to contest the 1 sprint event at Avondale. A Speed Merchant Awaiore, another of the Waipa contingent for Avondale, has shown by the quality of his preparation recently i that ho will be a force to contend with ;in the Flying Stakes, in which his I name appears. He covered five fur- ; longs iii 1.3 the other morning, and ■ relished the task. • Principal Boy was not raced much last season, but his schooling efforts lately have disclosed ability in the , hurdling department, and he should ; make up for his deficiencies last season , in the present term. Principal Boy is i a. four-vear-old gelding by Day Comet from Principal Lady. Awamutu looks in nice order, and it ; is anticipated his efforts during the present season will be attended with • better results than over the past term, j Desert Glow is moving along freely in his work, and has unquestionably benefited from his race at Pakuranga. ! This veteran of the Waipa contingent to Avondale is to start in the Cup.
