Lyndon Lea’s Prospects At Washdyke Dominion Special. Service. CHRISTCHURCH. June 20. With some of the horses engaged at Washdyke on Saturday leaving early for the scene there was not much galloping at Riccarton today. Lyndon Lea strode over live furlongs in 1.4 4-5, the last four in 50 4-5. He should show up in his six furlong engagement on Saturday. s x, Saldowa covered a mile in 146 2-5, the first half in 52. She is in excellent order at present and can be expected to reach good class in the spring. Force was several lengths in front of Bonadea after covering a mile and a quarter in 2.1 J, the last half mile in 55. Foxleap and Desert 'Strife indicated their forward condition by reeling off half a mile in 50 1-5. Cataract gave another creditable display over four hurdles. Arctic Dawn jumped three hurdles. Thus was his first attempt away from pouv hurdles, and with little pace on his work was not very impressive. He iy booked for ft trip to Trentham and will be accompanied by a stablemate. Tea Drop, who shows much more promise as a jnniper. Scarteen, who is an acceptor at u ashdyke, has been sent to G. Ridgway to undergo another course of training with a jumping programme in view. , Carteen s last appearance in public was in November of 1041.
