Stakes rivals step lively
When a galloper of the prowess of Canterbury Belle sets foot on a notoriously fast training track like Riccarton's No. 1 grass something noteworthy is bound to happen. Those two Ingredients made for the highlight of final gallops yesterday for the first day of the Canterbury Jockey Club’s meeting tomorrow. The favourite for the South Island Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes was assigned 1400 m on the No. 1 grass and, with deceptive ease, reeled off the distance in 1:26.4 and the last 800 in 48. Earlier her race rival, Dainty Dish, sprinted 800 in 49.4, quickening impressively for the last 600 In 34.8.
Grant Davison will be Dainty Dish’s race rider in the Stakes.
Adios King started from the 16M, but was timed only for the last 800 in 48. He appears to have thrived since his holiday racing. Other gallops on the No. 1 grass.— 800 m.— Miss Tiger Lil 49.8; Dash O’Dublin 50.8; ‘ Crystal Brook and Corrie ' Doon 50, last 600, 35.2; - Sweet King 48.6; Miss „ Isabel 50; Another Look - 50.4; Baby Brown and 7 Sharp Pulse 50.3; Yum 50.7; Kitango and White Lip 47.8; Last Straw and Meadow Maid 48.6; White Lie and Elizabethan 47.7; Puffasmoke 48.8; Slick - Million 50; Tudor Lord .•> and Million Joys 50; ; Zara’s Star and Blovlnski 50; Remus’es Flight, Elope, and Mr Magoo , , 48.1.
