HAWERA TRACKS

Hum-A-Song Goes Well

Dominion Special Service. HAWERA, May 1. Several smart trials were featured at Hawera this morning, when the final galloias for Egmont took place. Loth the course proper, with the trestles out about 30 feet, and the plough, were in ffreat order, and horses that pleased included Hum-a-Song, Clinch, Winsome Lu, Counter, Zest, Colossal Chiel, K.aiwaka» anKl En Tour. On the course proiper, lea -u r o=P (Hain) shaded Sir Tommy (Winder) over half a mile in 50£. A half-brother to Malagigi, by Tea T’ray, Tea Drop is a promising three-year-old, who should not remain long in novice ranks. Hum-a-Song (Winder) aud Vitemeiiu (Hain) traversed a similar distance tn 50. Though she has not raced for several mouths, Hum-a-Soug bears a bright apZest (Kilgour) defeated laiho (bargeant) by a couple of lengths at the conclusion of half a mile in 50. l-o. lailio hung out most of the way,, and he has lightened up a good deal since winning at Feliding. , . , Endorsement (Berry) dashed oyer a couple of furlongs in 25 on the inside grass. She is in first-rate order. Colossal Chief (HeKenzie) sprinted three furlongs aftractiveily in 39 4-u. Kaiwaka (Eley) was going nicely alongside Filbert (L. Dulieu) atj:he coiiclusion of halt’ a mile in 51 2-u. l val “ w r ak-a is thriving, and he should be a good winner during the winter. Chief Lord (Ryan) traversed halt a mile in 53. He is not engaged till the second day. Red Sun (Kilgour) .wentjt mile at steeplechase pace, requiring 57 for the last four furlongs. Gold Blaze (Dye) got to the end of half a mile in 51. . En Tour (Dye) completed a round or solid wori: by running half a mile in ok, a creditable effort for a ’chaser. He is well forward for the jumping season. On the Blough. After beginning slow’ly, Counter (A. Jenkins) was under restraint to stay with Parlato. (McKenzie) at the close of halt a mile in 50 3-5. Counter has improved with each race lately, and appears in line for early success. The Telegraph Hack is his likely mission tomorrow. IViusome Lu (Reilly) and Clinch (Dye) were not out to make time when getting to the end of an easy five furlongs in 1.6. IVinsome Lu bears an improved appearance, and she. is working more freely than for a long time. Clinch pleased by his effortless style, and the Appellant colt is very fit at present. He should not return to Ellerslie emptyhanded. . , , ... n Leighon Rei (McKenzie) and Little Briton- (Anderson) nan half a mile together in 53 4-5. The former could have done better. Calliope (Graham) sprinted two furlongs under a good hold in 25i. She is a speedy filly, likdy to run prominently at Egmont. . Tavoy (Cole) completed -half a mile in 50 4-5; , Brigadore (Savage) was schooled again o<ver six steeplechase obstacles, giving a good exhibition, though he jumped a trifle slowly at the post and rails. , . Flashlight was an absentee this morning, and will not start at Egmont. However, his injured leg is yielding to treatment, and he is to accompany Streamline north. . Because of the death of his partowner, Mr. E. Meuli, Kilometre is an unlikely starter in the Tawhiti Handicap. Additional riding engagements are:— H. Wiggins, Clinch; AV. Jenkins, Amigo, Leighon Rei; L. Dulieu, Zest, Footloose; C. Elev, Red Sun, 0-hanga; G. R. Tattersail, Sleeveless. Counter; F. Hain, Huni-aiS-ong, Tea Drop, Hunto ; W Doyle.

For Second Day Only. New Plymouth reports state that R. Barlow’s team will not be racing on the first day at Hawera, but Ripiple, Flying Vixen, and Rollicker will be there for Saturday. Wave Length, who was slightly injured at Waverley. is to be given a short spell.

Density May Go to Sydney. There will be no suitable races, for Density near at home till the spring, and it is possible that before she competes again in the Dominion, a trip to Sydney will be undertaken. The subject is now under consideration, and if it is decided on D. E. Cotton will take her to Australia in July. This arrangement would enable her to race up to the end of the Australian Jockey Club's spring meeting, after which she could return home in time for Trentham late in October, followed by the Hiecarton carnival in Noveimber. There seems no reason, in view of her success'over seven furlongs in the Great Easter Handicap, why Density will not run a good mile next season.
