At Randwick Cuddle ran a very even four furlongs in 52.}, revelling in her work. Silver Jubileej is apparently recovering from the trouble which has worried her trainer, and ran a useful half-mile in 544, without being bustl- d. Stretto hit out freely in covering five furlongs in 1.84. A later message, however, states that F. McGrath, his trainer, is not hopeful of Silver Jubilee keeping his spring en-. gagements owing to his striking himself during the gallop. McGrath expects advice from his New Zealand owner during the week-end as to whether the gelding will be kept in training. COMBINED MEETING. NEW PLYMOUTH, Thursday.
