Coober's Queen keen
Special correspondent Hastings The speedy filly, Coober’s Queen attracted plenty of attention at the Hastings track yesterday morning and her workout did a lot to enhance her chances for tomorrow’s Hawke's Bay Challenge Stakes. The little chesnut worked on her own over 800 m on the course proper which provided perfect footing. She was let to run at her own speed and got to the end of the workout in 49.35, the ast 600 in 37.35. The Hastings apprentice, Jimmy Cassidy, will ride the filly on Saturday and she only has 44kg in the weight-’or-age event. Hawke’s Bay Cup candidates, Chinkara, Tarlton, Kinesis King and Snell, all galloped this morning but only farlton and Chinkara were asked for a serious workout. Chinkara, ran in from the 1000 m peg and was timed over the last 800 m in 49.35, the final 600 in 37.35. He has thrived since his win at Wairarapa. Kinesis King recorded 37.5 s for 600 m on the plough and Snell went over Ihe same distance in 35.75.
