TAKANINI WORK

WEDNESDAY’S GALLOPS TWO-YEAR-OLDS SPRINTED Special to TIIE SUN TAKANINI. Today. Prince of Orange (C. Walters) and Rosshiro (E. Ludlow) were companions | in n nicely run six furlongs on Wednesday morning. The pair finished together, but were not kicked out over tho final stages. Roseric is the name that the Leighton—Y'alvato gelding has had bestowed on him, while the other two Leightons are named High Comedy (out of Comedienne) and Royal Artist (out of Oddity). They are the property of the | well-known Hamilton sportsman. Mr. K. T. Reid, and are trained by E. Pope in this district. Ti Tree is coming along nicely and the daughter of Tea Tray and Taiamai should not be very long in again facing the starter. Her present condition suggests that two months should find her playing a prominent part over middlo distances on the country circuit. Classic Winner Coming Back Prince Humphrey is doing well. Should the A.J.C. Derby winner stand another preparation he may redeem that costly failure of his when he was first fancy in the last Mitchelson Cup. High Comedy (C. Walters) and Royal Artist (E. Ludlow) were sprinted three furlongs and went pleasingly. Hitting out in dashing style, the latter held a slight advantage at the end of the. gallop, but there was very little i between them. ! Tho gene 1 opinion is that Roseric 1 is the best of the Leighton juveniles | and the one that will be the earliest stake-earner. Ridden bv C. Walters, lie certainly earned a few more admirers when he accomplished a useful three-furlong sprint, unaccompanied, on Wednesday- It may be added in passing that his condition is all that could be desired. Envoy is looking well, is galloping well and will be in great order for the Avondale meeting. With another race into him he will be worth keeping an eye on. Treasury’s pace work has been accomplished in a kindly manner and although he is yet a fairly good way off liis best condition, he is progressing in a satisfactory manner.
