THE WAIKATO FIXTURE

TRIALS AT TE RAPA. THE FINAL OALLOPB. SEVERAL USEFUL EFFORTS. (By “Martian.”) Although cutting out somewhat as the result of recent heavy l-ain the going on the course proper, 53 feet out from the rails, was in comparalively good order for the» final gallops of horses engaged at the Waikato meeting on Saturday and Monday. Several pleasing efforts were recorded among those to shape well being Kilberis, Prince Colossus, Lornacre, Sirona, Prince Acre, Valrent, Boughal, and Anagram. Providing no further rain is experienced the track should be in good order for the meeting. Julian’s Trio. A. J. Julian’s trio, Star Artist (Goulsbro), Light Comedy (Bowden) and Whirling (Cotter) were practically on terms at the completion of six furlongs in 1.23, the first three in 40s. Light Comedy and Whirling both shaped well and are in good order for engagements ahead. Prlnoe Acre. Prince Acre (Winder) was responsible for a sound effort over seven furlongs in company with Valrent (Bentley), whom he was shading at the end in 1.36. Prince Acre is to start on the second day of the meeting. An Easy Five. Jan Kidd (Cotter) and Stormy Weather (Goulsbro) hit out easily over five furlongs in 112. Both cuuid have improved on the time. A Good Effort. Lornacre (Winder) and Sirona (Campbell) impressed over six furlongs, cutting out the distance in 1.224, time which was bettered only once during the morning- Lornacre is engaged in the Linley Hack on Saturday and possessed good prospects. He has been working consistently well of late. Sirona is looking well. Gay Defence. Gay Defence (McKenzie) shaped well In accounting comfortably for Little Saint (Campbell) and Merial (Winder) over live furlongs in 1.94. Gay Defence’s saddel slipped near the three furlong post and McKenzie had difficulty in retaining his seat. Under the circumstances Gay Defence’s showing was a highly creditable one. Teak Not Galloped. Teak was sent along on the No. 1 grass but after hitting out over the first furlong did not go on with it. Over a Round. Curlew (Fergusson) was a couple of lengths in front of Modern Maid (Wells) and Folly’s Choice (Smith) over a round encompassed In 2.15. Curlew is engaged in the Frankton Hurdles on Saturday and Interest will attach to his showing. Dust Up. Dust Up (Gladding) came home from the three furlong peg in 41s. Leo Colossus—Con Fuoco. There was little between Leo Colossus (M-oInally) and Con Fuoco (Vaughan) at the completion of hali'-a-mile in 5445. This was the best effort prior to the breakfast interval. Valorous.

The best trial over six furlongs was that of Kilberis (Gladding) who finished four lengths in front of La Femme Noire (Gilmer) at the completion of the effort in 1.22 1-5. Kilberis. has been working consistently well since coming here and should perform well at* the meeting. He will lack nothing on the score of condi? tion. I

The big fellow is looking as well as ever but was withdrawn from his sprint engagement this morning. Le Chasseur. Le Chasseur (Vaughan) finished in front ol' Chaytor (Houghton) at the end of hall'-a-mile in the satisfactory time of 53As. This maiden will bo having his first outing in public on Saturday and it will be interesting to see how lie shapes in the Trial Stakes. Anagram. Anagram (Day) clocked 1.9 for five furlongs. This was a good effort on the part of Reilly’s charge as he has not had a great deal of fast work and on this morning’s showing lie should not be without prospects in the Trial Stakes on Saturday. Sinking Fund—Diacquedoon. Sinking Fund (Gilmer) jumped off at the six furlong peg being joined by Diacquedoon (Mclnally) at the five. Sinking Fund was limed lo run the lull distance in 1.23 1-3. the last five furlongs being run in 1.9 4-5. It was a useful effort on Hie part of both horses. Up the Straight.
