Jottings From The North

(From "N.Z Truth's" Auckland Rep.) THAT good mare, Gold Money, is •working nicely. She will be .ready for the early meetings, when she is likely to add further to her laurels. ■'• ■ • ■ ' * . Under the care of S. Tooman, Chesterman ' has improved m condition lately, and is carrying a muscular appearance. Chesterman has been working usefully without doing anything of particular note. . m;.--.-m • The hunter, Tin Whistle, is receiving attention from W. Ryan, who is also keeping Valsier moving. Tin Whistle has plenty, of size and is m the right hands to receive every chance if he is any good. v : . # . *, * A- hack, named Otranto, attracted some notice by running a smart six — the best of the week — at Ellerslie last week. She is difficult to train owing to a habit of bounding and being hard to control m her work. « • • Zane Grey continues to school well enough to encourage belief that he may have some worth as a jumper. He was of no account on the flat, although he showed a bit of speed early. -* ■ ,*'• * Without doing anything special, Welkne has been hitting out with plenty of freedom. He will not lack condition for early engagements.' # # # A two -year -old gelding by Day Comet from Lady Hill has commenced work under Owner A. D. Potter. He is a neatly-made juvenile and may come on quickly once, he begins to make headway. :,>■ # * * Abbott's Delight is receiving a sound preparation for the Pakuranga Hunt Meeting, where he will contest the Hunters' Hurdles. He has schooled and worked well. # # * Although he has not been noticed jumping lately, Odin is going along smoothly m preparation for the Pakuranga Hunt Cup. Present indications are that he will be m the right order to make a bold bid for victory. * * * T. Carmont has been moving Mountain Guide and Bennie along lately, as they are to race at Pakuranga. Bennie has wintered nicely and should be a better proposition than his stablemate, although he may find it difficult m open company. . ■ #■■ ■ * # 1 All continues to /go well with Whakarite, and he is improving m condition each week. If he remains sound, he will be decidedly useful m hack company. ■ # * * . New Boy is bright and muscular and will be ready to tackle early engagements. Cunningham's charge displayed sufficient pace at his last start to indicate future prospects m moderate company. ' V " • .* * \ Master Clements has been indulged m a course of schooling with a view to racing at Pakuranga. His fencing has been satisfactory, but on past performances he is not of much account. * * - * As a result of soreness, Kauri Park has been resting since racing at Trentham. J. Lambess will probably take the big fellow m hand again shortly. ■ •' * ' •. * * \' Pure Tea, which returned from Sydney recently, will m future, be trained by C. Morse, who is getting a y fairsized team together at Takanini. Pure Tea showed a little form m minor juvenile handicaps on the other side. « • • After a dose of physic and a few days on the easy list, Sir Archie is back on the tracks and working usefully. :A spell he had a few months aso 'benefited the chestnut considerably, and he is looking better than he has done for some time. • , * ' ■ * When rested for a few weeks at the end of last season, Kawairiga did not do too well, but since being recommissioned, she has made (Steady progress. Kawainga should win her way out of the hack class early this season. # # * Following a spell, Gemlight has returned to the tracks m splendid order to go ahead with a preparation. He has thickened into a solid three-year-old, and will win races later on. His juvenile form was very encouraging. #.* . * H. Weston, who has been located at Whangarei- for some time, is now at Avondale with Bob Amans and a two-year-old by Hunting Song. He also has Te Monanui, which is to do stud duty this .season. .# ■ # * . When first schooled over hurdles a few weeks ago, Chelone shaped well, but he may require a good deal more practice before he is a proficient jumper, as he has 1 not jumped with- the dash expected m his latest "schools."
