Though there were one or two uselul gallops at Awapuni yesterday, the highlights of the morning 's programme were provided "by the jumpers, particularly those who were schooled over the hurdles. The conditions were most unpleasant following heavy rain just before dawn. There was more rain later and the going was sloppy. One of the flrst to jump was Theiolyn (A. G. Waddell). He juinped carefulL but very well in a seliooLover six fliglit> of hurdles. Next were Specialist (Waddell) and Glen Urquhart (F. Buchanan). They, t oo, jumped six hurdles and Specialist. on the outer, gave the better display. The going was bad and Glen Urquhart twisted as he took the hurdle but mado a elever landiug. Later Gay Flame (D. Collins) and Baksoon (Waddell) were sent over the hurdles. They flew the flrst but Baksoon, in the bad gojng, misjudged the second and fell. Gay Flame went on but canuto grief at the next fence. Collins madv a quick recoveiw from the fall and ht remounted Gay Flame and went on to CQinplete the course. Gay Flame jumped brilliantly. Then Waddell remounted Baksoon and went baclc to maki' auother start and Baksoon jumped splendidly over five more hurdles. Gaiety (Buchanan) went out to takeon the'ixig fences on the course proper, giving a fine display of jumping. The fast worlt took , place on itln I'onrse proper and the fiags were wide out.
