HAWERA TRACK WORK

LITTLE FAST WORK DONE CARFEX SHOWS GOOD FORM. A quiet time in training operations is being experienced on the Hawera tracks, few horses having immediate engagements except those at J. Brown has Arouse and Carfex engaged at Foxton on Saturday, and the pair were galloped yesterday morning on the outside of the course proper, punting four furlongs in 53 2-ss. went better and had the measure of his companion throughout. Present intentions are to give T. Fryer s maiden Kia Ora a run at Marton. The shapely filly again went well over ° three furlongs in 40s on the outside of the course proper. Interest in the progress of the niles is increasing, and the two to do fast work were J. Browns Notium ana F. Erhorn’s brother to Gay Seton, who 1 sprinted two furlongs. Both youngsters i are doing finely, have tire requisite pace, and give promise of being heard from e *Gold Gleam is doing his work particularly well and is looking very fit. St. Clara is also doing everything aright and looks sure to do well early. ' Bay Sand did solid work and appears to be improving. Work on the hunting field has evidently brought about an improvement in this gelding, and he should be an interesting competitor in hunters events' at New Plymouth. Golden Hair and Lowenberg are domg steady exercise work and are m capital order to be speeded up. Fersen, who has had an easy time, is ' being given steady trade exercise agam and-looks in grgat bodily health. The ' Stratford Cup winner seems to have a promising four-year-old career m front three-year-old Bantry is developing into a commanding looking 1 horse and is in great form. Stanchion’s Win. ' Stanchion’s win in the Great Northern Hurdles adds another link to the important Dominion wins of Hawera-train-ed horses. “Horses for courses, and it looks as if the aphorism could be applied to trainers, as Jack Fryer has been successful with 1 Bercola and Co-pey in ’ two Great Northern Steeplechases, and the Easter Handicap with Bright Gl° w > and has now added a Great Northern Hurdle race to his credit. Stanchion was given a careful preparation for tne event, and Fryer’s optimism as to his abilities over a trying course was fully justified. Very rarely an attractive schooler in his trials over the fences at Hawera, Stanchion bore out the tradition that breeding tells. The defeat of Ruaform was a great blow to Hawera supporters. Little notice can be taken of his failure as Ruaform is likely to prove in the near future.
