WORK AT WINGATUI

By Telegraph—Press Assoclat«on DUNEDIN, February 11. There was a light shower overnight and a heavy dew at Wingatui this morning, which made the going slower for horses working early. The course proper, with the trestles out nearly 50ft, was 5 available for fast work, and all galloping took place on that track. Sunee, who looks very fit, was first to work, his task being two rounds at half pace on the inside grass track. He ran the last half-mile in 61sec. Senior jumped away from the mile post and ran the first two furlongs in 27sec. He was then picked up by his stablemate Plato, and they ran the next two furlongs in 25sec, Plato completing the journey in Imin 48 4-ssec. Plato’s time for the six furlongs was Imin 21 4-ssec, and he finished four lengths in front. Senior is a lazy galloper. The Surgeon and Concertpitch were let off with half-pace tasks. Greek Shepherd cantered round to the five furlong barrier and was going easily throughout. He looks very forward. Pelmet sprinted over the last furlong and a half and looks better for her race last Saturday. Neither Wild Chase nor Rival Shot was asked to go better than halfpace. Queen of Song and Superex finished up a circuit by running half a mile in 52 2-ssec. Night Gem recorded the same time for her half-mile. After breakfast, Jaunt gave a good exhibition over the brush double. Salmo Saiar finished on slightly better than Hula Belle at the end of six furlongs, run in Imin 21 l-ssec. Song Boy appeared to blow a lot after a round at three-quarter pace. Grand Finale was headed by Tizzy in the last few strides at the end of seven furlongs in Imin 34 4-ssec. Silk Paper and Valarth finished on even terms at the end of six furlongs, the last five furlongs taking Imin 7 3-ssec. Daring Deed had much the better of Paia Melba at the finish of six furlongs, run in Imin 21 4-ssec, after running the first three furlongs in 38 1-5 sec. The former is very well. Aro Arc and Drink Up were given a run along the back and reeled off 25 l-ssec for two furlongs. Chrysology, with W. Cooper up, ran a mile in Imin 54 3-ssec. Neither looks any the worse for yesterday’s fall. Over the Fences. Blue Metal, accompanied by the unnamed mare by Tractor, set out for a good school over the big fences. After jumping the stand double the latter was pulled up and Blue Metal jumped six more fences well, particularly with the pace on. v

Cherry Queen ran seven furlongs in Imin 37sec, after running the three from the seven to the four furlong barriers in 37sec. Te Ahurangi easily accounted for Vantoon over six furlongs in Imin 23 2-ssec. Linguist was finishing better than Final Bell at the end of six furlongs in Imin 20sec, the best six of the morning. Shock beat Wyn over the same distance in Imin 21 2-ssec, after running the first three furlongs in 38 3-ssec. The Smuggler finished much better than the full sister to Meadow Lark in F. Shaw’s stable over half a mile in 55 3-ssec. High Glee was not extended at any part of the journey in running five furlongs in Imin 11 3-ssec. This horse looks well. The Pink Coat-Delicious mare in Shaw’s stable ran half a mile in 53sec.
