RACING AND TROTTING

NOTES.

(Br 'Xookkr-Ok.") .

The outside of the course proper and the plough were open for trainers to gallop their horses on Saturday morning. Any of the work mentioned below was done on the' course where the track is not mentioned. Wrestler, who was the first stripped, left seven furlongs behind him in Imin 32sec, and finished strongly. Margerine was given solid pacing over two circuits on the plough, and ran home the last six furlongs with a stablemate. Brambletye was given a working gallop over a distance, but was not out against time. Then Long Range and Sir Fanciful had a good tussle over four furlongs. The time was not good. There was nothing to choose between Missouri and Thames during a gallop over seven furlongs, run in useful time. Heathercote and Gamecock, who were carrying about eyen weights, wore well matched at the end of six furlongs, run in lmin 17 2-sth sec. Then Biplane showed liis great speed by carrying Bst, and from a galloping start covering three-quarters of a mile in lmin 14 3-sth sec. He appeared to be finishing well, but .it seems unreasonable to think he could have gone any 1 faster if pressed. The last; five furlongs took lmin 1 l-stli sec.

MajestikofE, who was to have picked up Comely, cleared out with her boy, so the Gluten mare galloped a mile by herself, and did it in good time. Lovesick ran five furlongs on the plough in. an attractive manner, and time that was almost brilliant. Adjutant was as good as Lionskiu over a- five-furiong trip, run in lmin 2 2-sth sec. Eleus, who was giving his stablomate, Afterglow, a good deal of weight, could not hold him in a sprint down the straight five. Aynsley sent Scornful and Disdainful six furlongs, from a stand. The brother and sister ran together all the way, and covered the distance in lmin 17 3-sth sec.

Killala was no gefod to Euripos over five furlongs, run in slow time. The filly stopped as if she was shot about a furlong and a half from home, and she must be wrong somewhere. Euripos has turned roarer. He • ,v,:s sound at the beginning of the week, and has not had a cold or anything tho matter with him whatever. Wardancer was an absentee from the track, and can be looked upon as a very doubtful starter at tho Easter meeting. No definite decision as to Biplane's being a runner in the Easter Handicap has yet been arrived at, despite his phenomenal gallops. After < breakfast Matty who is looking light and jaded got a good trou'.icing from Gay Lad in a gallop over six furlongs on the plough. It was run in fair time. Battle Eve, who is sore, was galloped five furlongs on the plough after being warmed up. Thestius went with him., and the time was slow. Daytime and Jingo finished together at the end of five furlongs, run in very useful time on the plougn. Spangle was not much use to Glendower in a work-out over a mile, run in lmin 45 3-oth sec. Harlequin was going as well as Bondage at any part of a five-furlong gallop. Partisan, who was given some lengths* start, was not able to keep in front of Killjoy in a gallop over thr°eguarters of a mile on the plough. Killjoy's time was lmin l7sec.

Fiery Cross and Subterfuge, who are in. physic, were not worked. Bore and "Wellwood were companions in a round over the big fences. Bore i had too much speed for his com pan- j ion, but he. did not jump as well, being inclined to get up too high at ihe brush fences. Desert Gold had a very easy task at Flemington on Saturday in winning the Governor's Plate, and." her Australian record now reads three starts, two wins and one second. The first part of the raco must have been run at a very slow /pace, when the mile and. a half took i 2min oolsec, the Autumn Handicap, i over a furlong further, being run in 1 nearly threo seconds faster time. Run ' in such a fashion, Saturday's race would ! not afford a very convincing test of j Desert Gold's staying abilities, though I she wound up with a fine dash of speed ; in cutting out the last half-mile in .50$ sec. She is engaged to-dav in the King's Plate, run oyer two miles. She . has only once previously started in a j two-mile race, and that was in the ! Trentham Gold Cup last autumn, when sho finished third behind Kilbov and The Toff. j Cetigne, who won the C. M. Lloyd Stakes at Flemington on Saturday, is in first-class form at present, as the previous Saturday he was successful in the Newmarket Handicap, ( • (Bt "Se-vhchught.") | Nominations for the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's Easter Meeting close on Wednesday. |

The final payment of 3 sovs is due to-day for tho First Taranaki Futurity Stakes, to bo decided at tho Waimate Plains Trotting Club's Meeting, on April Ist. A second payment for the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's Champion Stakes is duo on Wednesday. Acceptances for the trotting events to be decided at the Westport Jockey Club's Annual Meeting close to-mor-row. The track at Addington was in good order on Saturday, but. very little fast work was accomplished. Michael OalLndo, driven by H. Fox, trotted a mile in a pleasing manner. The son of Galindo was not extended, but moved well. The threo-ycar-old President "Wilson, with his trainer, W. Kerr, in the sulky, had tho assistance of Don Caesar in a useful work out, over a mile and a half, finishing fast over the last eight furlongs. The Wildwood Jr. colt moved in nice style, and is evidently on the improve. He will next be seen under silK at tho Metropolitan Easter Meeting in the Champion Stakes. AgathoSj in saddle, showed to advantage while pacing a mile. Tho son of O.Y.M. is looking -well. Frank Tracey (C. Johnston) sprinted a fast half in saddle. The King Tracey gelding has built up considerably during the past tlireo weeks, and is looking bright and healthy. J. McDermott gave Maud Wilkes, Promise, and a maiden by "Wildwood Jr., long steady logging. T. G. Fox had Truganini, Arcadian, and Master Park out, but only did hall'-pace work. Odd . Socks, with the hopples on, covcrod three to four circuits at half to three-quarter pace. His owner, E. Carlyon. is now located at Wildwood Far in, Now Brighton.

Dunspoy was unable to fulfil his engagements at Timaru last wock owing to being slightly lame, which his owner could not account for, as tho Satinwood gelding worked satisfactorily two days before the meeting. Tho three-year-old colt, Golden Peter, is to be spelled for a few days, as he lightened up after racing at Timaru. Ho will then be put into solid work, and got ready for the Champion Stakes, which is to be decided at Addington this month. V. Alborn did not race any of his team at Timaru, but left for the "Wost Coast on Thursday, to take part in the Westport Racing Club's Meeting on Saturday, when he has Rose Alma and a maiden engaged. An aged straight-out trotter, by Bollman, has been placed in D. Mahoney's hands to be prepared for future racing. 1 E. Borry has Olive L. in work again at Addington, and is preparing the Dominion Cup winner for the Metropolitan Easter Meeting. J. Dench, the "Waimate trainer, has Tatsy Dillon, Gladeye, and Beeswing in strong work. The trio are doing ■well, and should not be long m picking up a stake. There is every prospect of Canterbury stables boing well represented at tho forthcoming Waimato Plains Meeting. Amongst those likely to make the trip are:—F. Holmes, J. Bryce, T. G. Fox, A. Fleming, A. Pringle, E. McDermott, F. Hickinbottom, and W. J. Doyle, while the Wost Coast sportsman, V. Alborn, has several of his team engaged.

C. James has now twelve horses in work. A recent addition to his stable is a six-year-old mare, by Prince Imperial. from a thoroughbred mare, a straightout trotter. Albert Cling, who has not been doing a great deal dfiring tho past fow weeks, is to be put into solid training at once by the Oamarn trainer, J. Henderson, in view of taking part in the Champion Stakes, to bo decided at the Metropolitan Easter Meeting. Sympathy, winner of the Grevmouth Cup, has joined Brooklyn Lodge, and will in future be trained by M. Edwards.

Hatch was cautioned for pulling acrose in the Kuao Handicap and blocking Oratress. The second concerned the running of Sweet Corn, ridden by B. Decloy on oach day.

A biq- crowd assembled, expecting to see a great milo-race in the C. M. Lloyd Stakes, with Desert Gold competing. When it was found that Desert Gold had been, scratched plenty of peoplo voiced the opinion that her owner withdrew her because of the risk of defeat.

THE C. M. LLOYD STAKES. WHY DESERT GOLD "WAS SCRATCHED. (By Cable. —Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received March 10th, 5.3 p.m.) MELBOURNE, March 10. Disappointment was expressed at the scratching of Desert Gold for the 0. M. Lloyd Stakes yesterday, many good judges, asserting that Cetigne would have beaten the New Zealander. Mr T. H. Lowry explained that he wanted to test the marc's otaying powers in view of her Sydney engagements, and therefore ran her in the Governor's Plate.
