UP BEST WORK

furlongs in 38 1-5. He is a colt by Officer Crosby (son of Solicitor Gen- ) oral) from the Man’s Pal mare PalE lelle, a half-sister to Swing Bridge. [ Contraband, who is owned in Wanj ganui but trained at Trentham, was I too good for Pyramid over three furlands in 39 1-5, the last two in 26. Con- . traband has been in work for some ; tiipe and appears to be well forward, t He conceded Pyramid a good deal in weight in yesterday’s trial and was still too good for the Hastings visitor. Pyramid is a filly by Spiral from Cincture. She was bred at Koatanui and will carry the colours of the Hawke’s Bay breeder Mrs. M. E. Nestor Bayliss who bought he as a yearling for her ultimate value as a brood mare as she descends from Eulogy. Paddy Joe, as expected, was much too good for the maiden Good News I when they covered half a mile in 54, the last two in 27 2-5. Paddy Joe has thrived during the winter and though a little robust he looks in splendid order for the new season. He will run in the Flying Handicap tomorrow. He may iind the distance too short, but it should not be long before he shows good form again over a middle distance. The last time he appeared in public he scored brilliantly in the Manawatu Winter Cup in June. Good News, a colt by Paper Boy from Sea Scout, is a half-brother to Stony Broke and is being raced by his breeder, Mrs. M. S. Curie. lie has had only one race to date, this being in a maiden event at Wanganui last June. Gay Gordon and Wave Crest were paired over six furlongs and were timed to cover the last live in 1.6 4-5, Gay Gordon being half a length in front and going better than his companion. Buchanan, who has not raced for a long time, galloped boldly when be shaded a maiden by Coronach in the* same stable at the completion of three ! furlongs in 39 4-5. Getting the best of an uneven start. | Already was always in front, of Beau ' Chief. Blue Smoke and Marching Girl throughout half a mile in 51 2-5. Kissane ran three furlongs evenly

in 39. He has been able to re-enter the Durie Hack Handicap field as Fighting Fox will not fulfil hS engagement. Foxtavia drew out tq beat Sweet Seventeen by four lengths at the end of six furlongs, the last five in 1.6 3-5. Foxtavia was placed each day at the combined hunt meeting at New Plymouth and should have prospects in the Marangai Handicap tomorrow. Sweet Seventeen is a visitor from Hastings and her recent form in the hack class has been indifferent. Looking a picture of fitness, Phalamint galloped boldly to finish five lengths in front of the maiden Lord Balloch at the end of half a mile run in 53 4-5. Phalam’.-t worked evenly throughout the could have done better. He looks bright and muscular and might prove hard to .beat in tomorrow’s Flying Handicap. The locally-trained maiden Green Bushes was restricted to two rounds of steady pace work. She has not raced since May, but her smart second to Miss Wynyard in a two-year-old handicap here in February wJI not be overlooked when assessing her chances in the second division of tomorrow’s maiden event. Clear View (J. Mitchell), one of the team of four brought to the meeting by the Morrinsville trainer K. F. Woods, was schooled over four hurdles and jumped them well. Afterwards he was given a round of strong pace work. Delinquent, another hurdler, was given two rounds of pace work.
