TRENTHASI SCHOOLS

GOLD WREN AGAIN PLEASES

(By "Rangatira,") Many more visitors were on the tracks at Trentham this morning, and there was some interesting schooling over the bigger fences. Among those to impress were Gold, Wren, Pandine, and Chile, and Survby and Slayer also acquitted themselves satisfactorily. Over the hurdles King Rey feiiced well for a horse who has had little public experience in the role. There was nothing outstanding on the flat, but not a deal of serious galloping was done. The weather was fine but dull after light overnight rain, which did not affect the going, which is still in very good order for the time of year. The prospects for a continuation of the recent, fine weather are not so bright toctay as they weie earlier in the week ari a day or so of rain would soon have the tracks heavy again. Gold Wren (W. Shand), Pandine (J. C. Richards), and Survoy (F. E. Baker) were sent over the five fences on the steeplechase course proper that are used for schooling. Gold Wren'and Pandine both jumped too fast for Sur-* voy/and, with the first-named always having the edge on' his stablemate, they finished up the boui about five lengths ahead of Survoy. The jumping was perfection, except that Survoy ran across the third fence, a boards. Survoy was safe and, of course, it is his stamina on which he relies in. his races. Chile (P. Mcßrearty) and Slayer (J* Richards) were first'sent over tjie^ four fences \on the inside : of the vcourse, which they jumped and); then, joining Court Yard (A. Sagar)V ;theywent out to the five fences onfttie cdurse proper.,: There' Chile w&svout;jumping Slayeir, but the pair were;together at','-all -the fences; and" Court Yard* who fenced, carefully,' followed them five or six lengths; behind. \-r/ ;P. T. Hogpn believes ingiving his jumpers plenty of variety, iy;!; He has not decided whether Chile and Slayer will both start in the Wellington Steeplechase, but^they probably -will unless the opening hack event looks easier for/ Chile of. one or two possible- defections, f^-J- ■ -o'. >;< :,.<;'.'

Might did not go as generously as usual, but he has his moods. v ••- ---..: ' SOUTHERN ' VISITORS. ''. '■ ";■'■ ':':]. Bow Street (G: Ellis) was a neck iri front of Monipere (W. Shand) after; seven furlongs in Imin 37sec, the last ', half-mile in 55 3-ssec, but Monipere had much the worst of the weights. Debham' (Bucknell) beat Fleet Street (Challinder) by .three lencths over seven furlongs in Imin 34sec, the final half-mile •in 53 3rssec, a good gallop J by Debham. but Fleet' Street is §aid to be a lazy track horse.' -'' -.■';,; -'. y. El Meynell (R; W. Savage) rah seven furlongs alone" irij Imin 33sec, and then could n6t be pulled up for six furlonsfs further: . Sly Fox (Platt) was easing,up at the end of a mile ih/lmin 47sec, the last half-mile in. 58sec, .Blonde Princess(Platt) was , doing ir well in running j half a mile in.s6sec. , '.-;■•■ King Gustavo (Ellis) slipped over half a mile in 52 2-ssec. Beauly (Bucknell) and Gothic (S. G. Robinson) took Imin 6sec for five furlongs, the last half-mile in 52sec. Pirinoa (J. McCauley) beat Gaylord (Robinson) and Pharisee (R. Barrott) over five furlongs, the last half-mile in 54sec.

Floral Robe (Foster)/ was three lengths in front of Neptune (Burns) after running five furlongs in Imin 6 2-ssec, the last half-mile in 52 2-5 sec. Floral Robe is a doubtful starter on the first day. .

Dark Water (J. F. Fergus) beat GayHunting (F. E. Baker) by a length over six furlongs in Imin 22sec, the last half-mile in 55sec. Great Bramble (Bucknell) was well clear of Telamon

J. D. Ahipene) after seven furlongfc the final half-mile in 54sec. Matoru (Doyle) ran away from Lord Cavendish (Challinder) at the end of - an easy six furlongs in lmin 24sec, the last Half-mile in 56sec. Once again. Lord Cavendish seemed unable to handle the ground, but he might do better with the colours up. Matoru is working better than he has for some time. The Aucklanders were mainly con- " fined to pace work. Among them were noticed Royal Bachelor (looking nt and bright), Rollicker, Whirling, Maori Song (very well), Prince Acre,Susan, Car Leaf, Ellanui, and Awhio- " whio. Valmint, Royal Dance, and All Irish were to have come down last l night. ■ ' Ponty and Phenomenal were each worked "by A. Jenkins, the former sprinting two furlongs each time in th« straight, but the latter not being al-, lowed to stretch out. Haughty Winner " was given hall-pace work by hi* trainer.
