HORSES FOR TRENTHAM SEMI-FINAL. GALLOPS AT AWAPUNI GOING WAS FAST YESTERDAY The course proper was fast at Awapuni yesterday morning and the flags were further out than on Saturday. There were a number of very fine gallops and among the Wellington candidates to work well were Sir Bradbury and Theolateral, Alethea, Alchemy, Sterling Lad and Theiolyn. On the Course Proper. Alethea (W. J. Stevuns) and Lady Spiral QM. Andrews) Avere sent along over a mile. : > : • •'ere tog-ether at the three, reached > 1.8, but Alethea drew away over the last oit to complete in 1.48. She worked very smoothly. Theolateral (C. A. Bowry) looked to be giving away a good deal of weight to Sir Bradbury (A. G. Waddell) in a five-fur-long flutter and Sir Bradbury beat him by a couple of lengths in 1.3, the last three in 3S. Sir Bradbury was kept going at the finish but Theolateral was not under any pressure. Sterling Bad (V. Sellars) worked by himself over five in a shade better than 1.3 but ho began better than the others and he ran tne last three in 3S 1-5. An interesting work-out was that of Theiolyn (S. Waddell) and Subdued (A. S. Ewan). It was over five and Subdued was on the outer. They came home together in 38 2-5 to complete in 1.3 3-5. Subdued was going along easily at the finish and Theiolyn, under a bit of pressure, was with her at the post. Broiefield worked over five but he was not out to break the watches. King (S. Waddell) and Abdicate (A. G. Waddell) were worked over eleven furlongs. They ran the first three at a pretty fast clip and they covered the first mile in 1.51. Rink drew away then but was not required to do the last three better than 45. Kol Ragi, Yogi, Seropuri and Crucible were exercised by Jock Campbell. They do not look to be any the worse for the racing they had in Taranaki. Langue d’Or (S. Waddell) and Tavern Light (Ewan) ran the last mile of eleven furlongs in a tick better than 1.50. They worked well and finished well. Other gallops on the course proper included: Vernon (Bowry) and Capine (T. Paul), six in 1.23 3-5, the last three in 40; Glenurquhart (M. Andrews), five in 1.5, the last three in 30 2-5; ilakim (N. Rouse) and Gardane (A. G. Waddell) four in 52, the last three in 3S 4-5; Old Glory, seven in 1.34 3-5. On the Plough. Alchemy (Bowry) appeared to be going better than Flying Ace (A. Midwood) at the end of seven run in 1.32 3-5, the last six in 1.10 and the last three in 30 3-5. Nighean (Andrews) took 1.23 3-5 for the last six and was never off the bit. Our Pat (R. B. Ireland) and Aristocrat (V. Sellars) were together at the end of seven, the last six being run in 1.20 2-5. They maintained a steady pace throughout. A number of horses were schooled over the hurdles. Taane Pango (Paul) went well over three flights. Sea Quex (Stevens) hit the first one hard but made no other'mistakes. .Malik Ivafur (Miss Freda White) gave a faultless exhibition of fast jumping. Red Glare (Midwood) had to put in a quick one at the first hurdle but he was brilliant over the other two. Gold .Money Song (Stevens) jumped quickly and gave a very fair display. H. N. Wiggins will ride Flying Ace at Trentham. WAIKATO TROTTING ACCEPTANCES. AUCKLAND, March 4.

TRANSPORT OF RACEHORSES. The Palmerston North branch of the Owners/ TrainAfA’ and Breeders' Associa lion decided, At a meeting on Monday evening, to approach the Minister ot Transport (.Mr. O’Brien), asking for an increase in the allocation of petrol for the transport of horses to race meetings. Mr. C. Boyd, who presided, stated that it was desired to obtain some relief from the Government in the way of an increase in the petrol allocation. V Their only avenue of transport to meetings at present was by horse-float, rail traffic being out of the question. Failing some increase in the allocation of petrol for floats, racing might as well go into the discard. He added, in reply to a question, that the prospects were not very encouraging at the moment. If road transport restriction could be lifted from 30 miles to 50 miles a great deal could be accomplished. A reply to representations made recently by the trainers to the Minister of Railways was read. This stated that, in view of the necessity of building up stocks ol coal, the transport of horses could not be considered essential. After a discussion, the following motion, moved by Mr. H. E. Edmunds and seconded by Mr. C. J. Thomson, was carried: "That this meeting of owners and trainers in Palmerston North request the Minister, in view of the effect the present restrictions are having upon the livelihood of trainers and others engaged in the pro fession to make an increase in the petrol allowance so as to give each horse-float an allowance of 65 gallons per month, with a 50-mile radius for operation.” It -was also decided that the chairman wait on the Minister to explain the position and that sister associations be asked for their support.
