WORK ON THE TRACK

Hastings Training Notes COURSE IN GOOD ORDER (By “The Barb.”) The Hastings tracks were in good order this morning considering the heavy rain that fell during the week All the fast work was done on the inside grass gallop. * * * Sunny Maid (E. Deslandes) was first out to run six furlongs in 1.20, the first three furlongs being done in the fast time of 37secs. She was eased a little over the final portion ol this ta£k.

Monarchy (11. Boyle) did not impress when registering 1.30 for threequarters of a mile. This Chief Ruler gelding does not look a good proposition, and, although he does not bleed those days, shows no sign whatsoever of returning to form.

Tareha was given a solid two rounds at three-quarter pace. This gelding is in exceptionally fine order at the present time and will make it very interesting in the Hawke’s Bay Hurdles next Thursday.

Speed (J. Leach) and Queen’s Pride (S. McNaughton) took 69sees. for five furlongs. The latter, with the advantage in weight, was going the better of the two over the final furlong.

Sabatini (C. Stratton) ran a mile alone in the fair time of 1.544, going at an even pace throughout to finish quite strongly. * * *

Peggy Detoe (S. Gooch) and Silver Song (J. Leach) ran their five in 69eecs., with both stopping a little over the last 100 yards or sb.

Trackman (J. Prendegast) ran the last three furlongs ol a half-mile in 41Jsecs. This was the first gallop the gelding had since coming in from his forced spell, and he went quite encouragingly.

* * * Slippery ('ll. Young) was responsible for one of tne best efforts of the morning when running five furlongs in 67jsccs. The little fellow gives every indication of soon being on the winning list again.

Royal Banquet (C. Stratton), Padishah (A. Griffiths) and Journet (E. Deslandes) were given a schooling lesson. Royal Banquet was the only one o£ the trio to have any pace on, gave a very fair exhibition for a novice and impresses as a very likely sort in this department. Journet and Padishah only went at a hunting pace. * * *

Collision (J. Olsen) was far too good for Count Willonyx (H. Callinan) over half a mile in a shade over 53secs.

Pae Tutu (H. Young) and WarParade (Hepburn) took 72Jsec6. to cover five furlongs.

Passion Flower (J. Leach) was going better than Contact (H. Young) at the end of half a mile run in 54socs, Contact goes best when the going is firm.

Royal Feast (Goodwin) and Father’s Choice (L. Berry) were given a working gallop only to run three furlongs in 42jsecs.

Hukemanu (E. Deslandes) and Golden Area (C. Stratton) gave a safe exhibition of jumping over a round of the country. Hukemanu gave a decidedly improved display in comparison with recent efforts.

Maine (Smith) was nowhero near extended in running half a mile in 56secs.

Drumpeel (Mr N. Cowie) and Sybil Song (Mr T. Dunn) ran a mile in 2.1 a fair effort with gentlemen riders in the saddle.

Mahora Belle (J. Olsen) and the Lady Buoyant filly took 57jsecs. to do their half-mile, but were not ridden out.

Kimbo (J. Leach) gave his usual safe display of jumping in a round over the hurdles in 1.51|,
