TROTTING

ADDINGTON NOTES EASTER PREPARATION ' FANCIED CANDIDATES (Special to THE. SUN) CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday. The conditions were ideal for training operations at Addington yesterday morning. Several horses worked before the birds were up, but none were credited with setting the track on fire. The majority of the Easter candidates were stepped along later in the morning when the atmosphere was more pleasing to the nostrils. Mirie Dillon, in harness, and Lady Wildwood, in saddle, were associated in a mile. They paced faultlessly all the way, but the time was nothing to enthuse over. Mirie Dillon wore a hood, which appeared to keep her mind on her work, for she went level all the way. AUDOMINION’S FINE WORK Wee Olga and Audominion, both in harness, jumped away from the judge s box. At the end of a mile, run in 2.23, Wee Olga was pulled up and Merry Bingen joined Audominion. They proceeded to provide interesting work for a mile and a-quarter. At The end of the contract Merry Bingen was in front. Audominions journey was two miles and a-quarter, and he finished the last mile in pleasing style. Merry Bingen was all out at the finish of his ten-furlong essay, the last half mile of which he compassed in 1.10. Merry Bingen worked on the outside of Audominion, who made a break just after going nine furlongs, and but for that Audominion s effort was full of merit. BRIDGET SEBISCA IN RARE FETTLE The three-year-old, Great Peter accompanied Sebisca in a bout over a mile and a-half. They were closely followed for ten furlongs by Theseus. There the Aucklanders left Theseus and rattled over the next two furlongs in attractive fashion. The trotters, Pete Peter and Bridget Galindo provided an attractive performance over a mile and five furlongs. The speed was on and judged by Bridget Galindo’s final effort she should be hard to beat at the Easter meeting. Talaro kept Bonny Logan company in a serviceable essay which occupied eight furlongs. They were not out to break the watch. Nourmalial was not overtaxed while negotiating a mile and a-half. She was assisted over the last nine furlongs by Peter Wilkins, and both horses trotted nicely. HAWERA CUP CANDIDATE IMPRESSES Logan Park (C. Dunlevey) and Holly Boy (W. J. Tomkinson) dashed away on a two-mile journey. They clapped on the pace over the last half mile, where Logan Park drew away from his stable-mate and reached the post in time sufficient to state that he has only to leave the peg at Hawera to win the cup. C. Dunlevey will drive Logan Park on the first day at Hawera and in all probability W. J. Tomkinson will go north to pilot the gelding on the second day. Harry Audubon infused a lot of dash into his work. He is very well, but is not over-endowed with gameness on race day. Little Logan and Lady Embrace moved in tradesmanlike fashion over 12 furlongs. They were not required to do their best. Acre and a three year-old by AuthorDillon were given useful exercise. Todd Bingen never put a foot wrong while trotting twelve furlongs, and Sheik was idulged in useful toil without the hopples on. STUNT ARTIST WORKS WELL Stunt Artist had the assistance of a galloping pace-maker for a mile, where Sarella elected to keep him up to the bit for a The pacemaker rejoined Stunt Artist for a brush over the last two furlongs. Stunt Artist revelled in his task and pulled up well. The time was good. Grey Logan and Bob Logan hit out as if they could do things. The first six furlongs was traversed under a pull, then they moved up negotiating the concluding half mile in 1.6. Both horses are in elegant buckle. Nota Bene went away from the stand a couple of lengths in front of Golden Bubbles an Nurmi. At the end of a round Nota Bene drew right away from her associates and paced a mile and a-quarter at a 2.18 clip. She was all through at the finish. Golden Bubbles and Nurmi arrived at the same point eight seconds later. Peter McKinney is trotting as if he is back to his best form. He certainly promises to annex a stake at the Easter fixture. Sea Pearl stepped a mile and a quarter in resolute fashion. The last mile was compassed in 2.15, which was little trouble to her. She is in the pink of condition. Elzear and Napland were worked on the extreme outside of the course. They trotted in convincing style and pulled out pleasing efforts when required to step down the straight the last time. Surfboard paced in his best stvle while negotiating a mile and a-half, the last two furlongs of which took 35sec. FINE PERFORMANCE BY HIGH JINKS Kohara (J. Bryce), Brutus (W. J Tomkinson) and High Jinks (J. Bryce, jun.), all in harness, tackled a journey of two miles. High Jinks led all the way. Kohara drew level with him in the straight and kept with him to the finish. It was a splendid performance on the part of High Jinks and Kohara. Brutus broke at the turn for home. High Jinks can be marked down as a likely winner on Saturday. Routine, Wenlo and Queen Ida traversed a mile and a-half. They went well all the way. Escapade’s mission was a mile and a-quarter. She trotted with great freedom and is in beautiful order. Transport. Carbine Direct. Piute Meb. Denver's Doll and Vera’s Doll left for Hawera last night.

Machine Brick's Trophies Mr. J. Aubrey, farmer, of- Parkes. who owns Machine Brick, whijh has raced in New Zealand, received a tea and coffee service with the stake, for the Orange Cup, won by that horse. Jacky Watts, the driver, received a whip. He also won with Yen’s Selection at the meeting. These pacers will compete in the metropolis at Eaf er. Sydney Thousand Favourite Mirralwood. a son of the ex-New Zealander Admiral YVood. is a strong f%ncy for the Sydney Thousand, to be decided at Victoria Park on Easter Tuesday. His winning record for a mile and a-half is 3.25 A, made at Epping on January 25, when lie gave Western King 12 yards. A week later he won on the same course in 3.27. Some months before he went under 3.24 to get third at Victoria Park. He is improving, and if he gets a good passage should be very hard to beat. On his winning record the front-markers have been asked to do the trip in 3.2 BJ.
