WINTER MEETING. ■JtURDAY'S TRAINING NOTES. * (By “Early Bird.”) '•'the track was in excellent order jr urainjn® operations on Saturday iirnttig, when a large number of f-ses were worked over the fences on the flat. All Cerise, as full of tricks as sr, moved freely in a useful work- , gallop, but was not out to break Kyoto and Noble were sent once i nd over the schooling hurdles, th jumping fairly well. Noble shapiery promisingly and should be le to account for a hurdle race later in the season. Kyoto was in -reat heart, although his jumping wa<.not impressive. An interesting gallop was that in wt(ieh Demos and Whanoko were ■oncerned. The pair hopped off at he-'leven furlong peg, cutting out I fie distance in 1 min. 31 3-5 secs. |he last six furlongs in 1 min. 18 leds. Whanoko impressed most. I J Hindi and Yolande spurted over Lriif'furlongs, the last half mile tak1. ig 52 3-5 secs. ■ ’Manchester and Yankee Dan were I willing along easily at the end of r «t-yu fuclones in 1 min. 20 secs, the last X our furlongs taking 54 secs O* Rose, alone, set out over tlie fences. The hencoop was negoiatad in a slovenly manner, and a jump at the second obstacle, saw tm tisiodge his rider, who took him feek and then got over safely. I POanui, with M. D. O’Shea up, was But over the hurdles, but jumped Aly fair ( Vagabond and Hyttus galloped a ll&f in Imin 47 3-5 secs. Neither lis extended. (The most interesting performance A the morning was a round of the ■rdles by Omahu (B. H. Morris) 'Xj Ngata (A. McDonald). The pace &jron from the start. Omahu fenced cleanly, and Ngata could imJfrve considerably on his effort. It K a fine schooling on the part of . _yuch interest was manifested in foar youngsters who were sent 3n tor a sprint up the straight. Smk were the Absurds, full sisters g® Mermin and Epitaph, in Walter SqTDwr'g stables, and Murt Gardner’s Mallowmas —Spain, and a flgfct bay by Bisogne—Ora The sisEpitaph shaped best, and she U flnorq forward in condition than brothers. MORNING'S WORK. ■ fair amount of interesting work witnessed by a large number of yesterday morning. The was fine and the track in jgaafl order. All the gallops took pThfe on the plough. Tenterfield moved freely in doing s vile and a half at a strong threepamriy pace. He appears to be very .W&noko also moved nicely over miles at the same pace, r Xjjkral Raven and Correspondent diflfenilar work, the former pleasI mff Most. Solo was given light exercise, bat at the three furlong post he joiped in with General Raven and
. Correspondent and was first home under a strong pull and fighting for | bis head. W. Garrett certainly has Sir Solo in great fettle. | Miss Gold hopped off from the six . furlong post, cutting out the last five ' furlongs in Imin 6 secs., without be- | ing extended, the first three in 39 3-5 secs. A smart performance was credit*ed to Bonetter, who was sent on a : similar mission The first quarter I took 27 secs and the five furlongs 1 I min. 3 1-5 secs. ’ There were a number of others working, including Santiago. Demos, i Master Boris, Weldone, Calma, Hyt- • tus. Vagabond Gladful, Orchid, ' Khartoum, Kyoto, Manchester, Poa- . nui, Hindi. Oak Rose, Noble and Fiddlestrings. A GAMBLING FARCE. I ANTI-POST BETTING UNPOPULAR Received Mav 14. 5.5 p.m. LONDON, May 13. Ante-post betting in England is ' becoming less and less popular, i Clubs are finding it difficult to j create a live market for the Derby, I which is being run on the 31st. I Lists of quotations are published daily in the newspapers, which frequently describe them as sham bet- , ting, and alm,ost daily allusions are made to the farce of bookmakers determining prices while the public looks on. St. Louis’s easy victory in the Two Thousand Guineas made him an automatic favourite. He is a grand colt, trained by Gilpin, but the position is clouded by the fact that Gilpin has Re-echo in a different ownership, recalling the problem of the 1920 Derby, when the same trainer had Spion Kop, and Sarchedon. A long-priced candidate won comfortably. Gilpin delights in mystifying the public, and Reecho and St. Louis will not be tried together until they meet in the Derby. Pondoland's easy win over a moderate field in the Newmarket Stases did nothing more than strengthen St. Louis's position, but bookmakers clipped a couple of points from Pondoland's price, shortening other quotations in sympathy.
