DONEGAL BAY SCHOOLS WELL

Tlie traeks were iii lirst-rate order at Awapuni yesterday moruing as a result of a dryiug wiud, but operatious were uniuterestiug, the luajority of horses being restricted to easy pacework. Uu tlie No. I grass, ivahuraponga (Lwan) sprinted, three furlongs 111 40 3-5sec. after a slow beginiiiug. Havildar (Cluipliii) linished strongly to complete the last three furlongs of his work in 42sec. The Bulandshar geiding linished fourth in both his starts at the recent Manawatu meeting and is due for a success. The Hastings visitors, Typhoon and Nanaaki, were noticed getting through useful taslcs. Typhotm is rather a difiicult horse to control in his work, and for that reasoii his trainer, C. J. Stowe, has to treat him to an uuorthodox . preparation which mainly consists of trotting exercise. Nanaaki, who i'ailed ! to race up to expectations on the lirst ! day of the Manawatu meeting, is dually engaged on Saturday, but presenf iutenlions are for her to start in the Hautere Hack Handicap. Now a meinber of E. Teniperton's ! stable, Midshipman (Rouse) was | scliooled over 12 steeplechase fences on i tlie inner. He juniped safeiv and, with ■ furtlier experience, should prove capable I of puying his wav. ! Honegal Bay (Buchunan) and Lanoi ma (Rout) were associated in a bout over six hurdles. Honegal Bay was re- ! sponsible for an attractive sliowing and proved too speedy for her conipauiou, ; who screwed at several of the fences. J Beau Jewel (Kendall) was more imjpressive than ltockanui (Collins) ovei six hurdles. Beau Jewel, who is only u three-year-old, has made rapid advancement in his new role, and is an interesting eandidate for the hack hurdles on .Saturday. j Although Northfield iigures iu the I Kemiels Steeplechase at' the Manawatu j meeting, prosent plans are for him Lo j race at Stratford 11 Saturday.
