THE TURF

RICCARTON TRACK WORK , y (By Tfli«craph.—Sneotal Oorreanondent.l ' \ Christchurch, August 5. ti Practically; all tho work at Kiccarton Sl this moriiiiig was done on tho sand, which t provided very fair goinj, but a number of , horses were worked on the tan-, and several were schooled over the- hurdles. ■ Cousin : Jack went-two rounds on the * tan at a strong pace, while Selwyn.did strong work on tho sand. Moddile galloped half a milo very pleasingly; white Cheddar skipped over a simi- , 1! lar.distance in- Sssec'. 1 Ovar (Shaw) was given a schooling task over the hurdles, and got round, safely, while liejection (J. Lovi) and Cast Iron (Flynn) wore -going better than Overton at. the end of a schooling -gallop once round , over the battens. This : was all the work accomplished. The "Looker-On" writes in the "Evening News":— : -, ; 1 Grey , King hit oiie of his knees hard j while schooling over the hurdles yester- ] day,; arid 'was a trifle lame to-day. He t ffas.igive'n very easy work.. j : Captain.; Jack carried a very light boy t in his work (trotting and cantering). His \ olf foreleg appears to have filled. t ICilmeny got through liis task of half- J pace work well, and was all right when t he pulled up. - . e The Player is very keen, and does his f allotted task with great relish. . 1 Gregory-does not seem to be galloping -i as well as he was a few: weeks ago. He 1 makes, a lot;of noise., I Julian crashed ' through a hurdle the s last, time lie was. schooled, and over- 1 reached-and-struck. his' front tendons, t bruising. them-very badly. He is run- 1 niug:in ,tli.e.paddock, and is a very im- i ! probable starter at the meeting. ' ■ Daylight Bill has never been looking or i galloping. better..'

The-favourite is Mr. s E.'Maiiifold's Coradjill, :' who .is .to be I ridden, by the New Zealand horseman L. . Hagerty. C'oradjiU was - placed third in 3 the Fleihington National, and it is intert est.ing to record .that Ha#erty, said afterg the'race that had he not been tied down :. witjv orders lie would'-liave had a great . chanco of defeating the winner. No. j doubt, trainer D. H.'Allan will allow - Hogorty to try his own. rules in Satni'e day's race. l The Feilding trainer J. Cameron ar--1 rived in town yesterday, and to-day lie s loaves for the south with Epworth and 8 Waldemar. e " Advices from Wanganui state that C. ' Price-will be unable to ride at. the National Meeting. F. Tilley went to Lyttclton. by the WaJj hine last evening.'. He took Kaniki (who i gave great trouble before he was loaded), ICew, and Leonta. -The trio look in perfect condition. i Kaniki -will; bo ridden in the Winter Clip by H. Batten, the lad who loolcs . after him in'the stable. . Batten,, it is said, can get more out of the Maniepoto :e li.orse than any other rider. Kaniki is essentially a horse of moods, and will only 9 ', do his best on rare occasions. ' .: Goodwin Park has been blistered and i'- turned out at FordoU, He is being kept on- hard feed, ; which indicates that his . trainer does not expect his retirement to ' bo of long duration. The black horse Postillion has recently commenced work at Fordell after a good 9i npell. There is a full-brother to him in >v Tiliey's stables, and tiiofe who know the j two''horses, say it is difficult to distinguisli them apart. Hnd Leonta been eligible,, his trainer . ivoidd. have given him a race in..the • .Tuiupers' Flat at Ricc-artoii on the opening day, but as -lie had not started five ~ Mmes'jn a hurdle 1 race, he could, not be nominated, and, as it is now, the National Hurdles will be-his first public uppcoronco in a jumpiujf ,tac? ( It will S. also be his first jump in <xmsm> '

Advices from RiccaTton say Charlerose lias been lamo on and off after galloping lately, but ho is regarded as certain to start in tho Winter Cup. C. Pritchard with three horses, C. Washer with two, and D. Nyhan with threo trotters went south last eveniug. The brood maro Ambrosiau was aboard the Wahine last, evening. She is being sent' to the Elde'rslie stud, on a visit to tho imported horso Killironey.Lately, the weather experienced at Riccarton lias been perfect, and •if it continues for another few days tho tracks for next week's meeting will be well nigh perfect. Tho full-sister to Expect in T. E. Quinlivan's stables at Hastings has been named Try Hard. ■' ■ .
