TRAINING NOTES.
ELLERSLIE. TUESDAY. The tracks were very heavy after the recent rain and only moderate work was got through. Celtic alone got to the end of 7 furs nicely. Lord Seaton did a similar task, finishing up strongly. Haydn and Khama worked in company over 18 furs; both horses are in the pink of condition. Bonomiana, Silicia, Shrapnel and Inniskillen got through capital work. Uenuku had a slight advantage of Stromness in a 7 fur flutter in 1.351-5560. Kiatere jumped the schooling hurdles nicely and should beat more than beat him in the G.N. race, the distance should stand to him. Manapouri and Paroquet had a ding dong go over 6 burs in 1.23 i-ssecs. After the breakfast interval, Ruaparaha and Waipuna galloped a circle in 2.2 3-ssecs, the half brothers are both very well. Omati finished strongly at the end of 6 furs in i.2isecs. Ben Jonson had Lady Hune in trouble over 9 furs in 2.2 2-ssecs. Geordie and Catch ’Em strode over a round in 2.Bsecs. Cuiragno had all the best of Soultfish in a round over the batterns, the former is very fit and must take no end of beating on Saturday next. Leopold, Lady Lanta, and another were schooled over the steeplechase jumps, and it was a very faulty exhibition, all three making mistakes. Moultan and Tanglefoot jumped the same fences, the latter jumped the stone wall strongly and fell after landing, and when remounted made no further mistakes. Moultan should be very handy in any race he starts in ar he is now getting more seasoned. No Shot put in a couple of rounds at three-quarter pace and looks well. A lot of other unimportant work was got through, all the work was done on the sand gallop.
