TRACK AND STABLE

DE FRIEND SCHOOLS SPRINT BY PLENTEOUS liy “Trenton** Small Boy and De Friend schooled over a round of hurdles at the Park on Wednesday morning. The latter went particularly well and enhanced his prospects for the Hawke’s Bay meeting, where he is engaged next week. Revelled In Going . The only fast work at the Park yesterday morning was a half-mile sprint by Plenteous, Mimicry and Millions, and they finished in that order. Plenteous revelled in the soft going, but Mimicry had the worst of the weights and could have done better. The time, 51 l-ssec., was good considering the trestles were 40ft. out.

He was bred in 1932 and is by Manna, who won the Derby and Two Thousand Guineas, from White Bud, by White Eagle from My Own, by Minoru ,who also won the Derby.

Several other thoroughbreds for southern breeders are included in the consignment and they will be sent to Wellington.
