THE TURF

ON WANGANUI TRACKS j

I PREPARING FOR MARTON YESTERDAY’S GALLOPS The course proper was rather heavj for training operations yesterda* morning, when the Wanganui-trainer horses for the Rangitikei Hunt Clu meeting were worked. The trestle were about 15ft. out. The weaiuc was line early but heavy rain fe. later on. Dynasty (E. Ludlow), who is to b started in the maiden race on Satui day, registered 55sec. for four fur longs. I Artful Dodger, with K. Chute up : was not required to make time, Lakin; * Imin. 57sec. over a mile. This Danilo! gelding is to run in the hack hurdl race on Saturday. i War Lap (S. T. Edwards) slippei j over five furlongs, taking Imin, 7sc< ' He is in the Ridcliford Handicap 01 Saturday. Airing, who may be produced 01 Saturday in the seven-furlong event took Imin. 22sec. for six furlongs. Useful pacework was done o\ Lowenberg, Submission. Uveda* Daisy Chain and Kriemhild. ON HAWERA TRACKS MARTON CANDIDATES YESTERDAYS GALLOPS The extreme outside of the course proper provided fairly heavy going al Hawera yesterday morning. Chief interest was centred in the work of the local horses engaged at Marton or Saturday, writes "Gdiospur” in the Hawera Star. Viracious (Toki) defeated Amorosc I (Poi) over five furlongs in 1.8. The ■ former has unfortunately developed ? i slight cold, and his owner-trainer, H Scally, stated that Viracious may not make the trip. Amoroso went fasl early but, as usual, stopped quickly at the close. Winsome Lu (Riley) got to the end of an easy five furlongs in 1.9 3-5. The Raceful mare has made rapid advancement in recent weeks and she may be an early winner. Race Away hit out with plenty of freedom when shading Vai Pore in a two furlongs sprint which occupied 25 l-ssec. Race Away is one of the most ' promising novice gallopers in comi mission here. He revels in heavy I ground. Vai Pore is fairly backward i just now. but is a good mover and ' possesses plenty of size. Silk Sox and Disturbed encompassed • a round at a working gallop. They are booked for Riccarton. Disturbed will not race before the Grand Nalional Hurdles. Silk Sox is to contest the Jumpers’ Flat on the opening day. Car Leaf (Ryan) completed two rounds of solid work on the sand by running the last six furlongs in 1.28. He will be piloted by W. Grindlay on Saturday. Alexcelia (Holland), a rising two--1 year-old filly by Captain Bunsby— Silver Wings, in H. Scally’s stable, shaped nicely in a sprint up the straight with the Vaals—Airway filly (Ryan). A neat-actioned youngster, the former impresses as one likely to be well forward for early racing. O. Cox’s pair, Belle Cane and Mahaina. hit out well in two short sprints. Both fillies are making good progress. Prime Quality and Kilometre have resumed regular exercise after beneficial let-ups. Prime Quality has thickened out considerably, and his i companion has grown a good deal and I will ho a tall three-year-old. RANGITIKEI HUNT CLUB SATURDAY’S FIXTURE AC C EPTANCES DI E TO-NIGHT I Acceptances for all events at th<* | Rangitikei Hunt Club’s meeting, to be held at the Marton Racecourse on ; Saturday, are due to close at 9 o’clock i to-night with the secretary, Miss F.

Roberts has decided to delay his departure till cr.ri • August, when he will travel in the tame steamer as f D. Jones. Being anxious to secuic a working mate i v r Defaulter. Roberts has bought MungcAoon for M*. H. D. Greenwood. The gelding has recovered from the trouble that affected him at Trcntham and is again in work. F. D. Jones has made arrangements for Royal Chief to be ridden in most of his Australian engagements by E. Bartle, who was associated with the horse last spring. There will be one exception, however. Bartie is attached to J. T. Jamieson’s stable and will probably he required for High Castle in the Chelmsford Stakes, but Jones does not expect much difficulty in securing a suitable rider for that race.
