Smart Gallops On Hastings Tracks

STEENCHASE WETJu LINDRUM PLEASES r OVER ONCE ROUND From Our Own Correspondent HASTINGS, Dec. 21. The Hastings tracks were not so busy this morning. However, there were a few interesting trials, with times a little faster than on Tuesday. The plough was the only track used. * * o Bamian (G. Stowe) and Tractive (B. Stowe) were associated in a half-mile working gallop, taking 54secs. . Silver Bat (B. Stowe), in registering 50isecs for a half-mile, ran right up to her recent pleasing efforts. • • • Brunhilde (P. Atkins) came home solidly the last three furlongs of her work in 38secs. Trainer S. J. Reid, who has been most patient with this mare, has her back to her best form. • • • Beaulivre (P. Atkins) gave Yogi (W. Aitken) a five lengths’ break at the start of half a mile, and was easing up the last 50 yards to record 50secs, so that there is no need to worry about the colt not being back to his best form. • • • Hunting Moments (M. Galvin) was sprinted three furlongs twice, to run approximately 40secs on each occasion. • * # Kathbella (P. Atkins) showed plenty of dash in a three-furlong sprint in 37isecs. Except for an abscess on her jaw, this mare is in great heart for her Auckland trip. • • • Kahlika (G. Stowe) was going every bit as well as Classical at the end of three-quarters of a mile run in 1.19, the last half in 53secs. • • • Hyderabad (Parramore) and Tidal Laa« (H. Murray) were restricted to a solid working gallop over six furlongs in 1.20. • • • Centrepoise (P. Atkins) wa* galloped a mile and a-quarter, the last mile being run In 1.47. He was assisted over the first round in 1.404 by Royal Star II (E. Baker), but when the latter was pulled off at the straight entrance Centrepoise, being left alone, appeared to loaf over the last quarter. • • • Endorsement (L. Cullen) skipped smartly over half a mile in 504 secs, which was above the average. • • «* Taharakau (J. Forsyth), who arrived on Monday last, pleased when registering 51secs for a half-mile. The other members of W. Turnbull's team went on to Awapuni this morning with Black Majesty and Proclamation. • • # Isis (P. Akins) was the equal of Mimetical (H. Murray) over half a mile in 521 secs, but both could have improved on the recorded time. Flying Flag (L. Cullen) was not doing her best when running once round in 1.434. • • • Le Toquet (E . Baker) did a five-fur-long working gallop in 72secs. Gold Craft (J. Forsyth), in a similar effort over a half-mile, took 57secs. She waa lame behind when trotting round the inside plough later. • • • Oxyopia (Power) ran his six furlongs in 1.21, time he repeatedly registers. • • • Sternchase (P. Atkins) was again Impressive when running six furlongs In a shade better than 1.17. the first three furlongs taking 38Jsecs. • • • Golden Melody (J. Forsyth) was not doing his best when sprinting three furlongs in 39sccs. • • • Lindrum (P. Atkins) was responsible for a pleasing effort when he ran once round in 1.404, going at an even pace throughout. He will be ridden in the (Amalgamation Hack Cup on Boxin| (Day by C. P. Shield. • • • : Clingstone (H. Callahan) and Arachna |(R. Marsh) came home the last three (furlongs of two rounds of pace work an a shade better than 40secs. * * * Royal Spades (C. Shield) and Smooger (J. Forsyth) were mates in a onceround working gallop, taking 1.49, the last six furlongs in 1.23. * # • Sir Nigel (Cameron) and The Ring (Deeley) were also given a working gallop, their six furlongs being run In 1.234. • • • Nelumbo (Cameron) bare-footed, was going better than Red Shoes (Winiata) in a leisurely-run half-mile in 52secs. • * • This evening trainer S. J, Reid, with Beaulivre, Brunhild and Kathbells leaves here for Auckland.
