CROWN AREA WELL MANAWATU REPRESENTATIVi (Special to THE SUX.) PALMERSTON X., Mondaj G. New, who will be represented • Ricearton by a team of five or i i will leave for the south on Tuesday. | Saturday morning he took the opp ! tunity to send his team members all I on tlie plough which, while in gi | order, was not fast, light rain havi fallen about 5 o’clock. '] Shining Star, Broad Acre ar.d 1 ! Champs, all of whom had light btj tip, were associated in a scamper on live furlongs on the plough. Shini Star jumped too quickly for the otfe pair and a ragged dispatch resulted, t leader in consequence being reefed till the trio got on rough terms. 11 turned for home together and at 1 finishing post. Broad Acre, who is comparatively recent addition to Nei string, was going the best. He appeal to be a little big in condition. None the trio will make the southern trip. CROWN AREA’S TRIAL I Crown Area and Duke Abbey, both whom will visit Ricearton. were a i along over the scurry distance, the | gettinfi away well together. They 1 the first furlong behind in 13 and h on terms to the straight entrance, wS Crown Area came away to pass 1 peg three or four lengths in front his companion, the full journey tak! 1.5, which was a very fair effort, though the Acre gelding declined Trentham «ngagements,»there appi to be nothing wrong with him « wardly, although his trainer states I he has been slightly off his f°ed. Di Abbey carries his customary burly I pea ranee, and his Wellington out! do not appear to have left any effect. He does not always give of I best in training. Fee Simple and Wanderlust arcs plished a good working gallop on 1 •plough over seven furlongs, which l ! negotiated in 1.35 1-5; the pair fial ’ing on terms, although the latter i pea red to be going the easier. Bl i and Royal Land were also sent on the same distance, taking 1.36. BBjl was hurried along over the first port of the journey, but Royal Land sat ; ereri him in crossing the top and 1 pair ran home together. The quai ette will also seek further honours | the southern fixture, and it will be s | prising if some stake money does i i come their way. SOLD AT LAST The Solferino gelding Buoyant I | changed hands, his owner-trainer. IT. Doyle, having disposed of him tfi ; Donnellan, of Ricearton. The Ai j puni animal was sought after at 1 time of the Winter Cup meetiW* which fixture mouth trouble had nm* his prospects and a difference in pfl resulted in the transaction failing eventuate. In the interim has failed to add to his stake eaw capacity, but lie was rapidly aFP l *** ing form and his new owner should I be long before gaining a return oil purchase money for the gelding is ns than useful. particularly on sm courses. It is the second occasion l which Doyle has quitted a Wj sentative t<» the southern mentor, Bjh 1 mark having gone to that stab* couple of seasons ago. The latter chaso should, however, prove the w* proposition. Trainer J. Kelly, who has beenj absentee from the local tracks pra«» ally throughout the winter season, again working the Panmure mare® itulation, and the manner in which i worked on Saturday indicated that chestnut is very well. lie has also hand an unnamed youngster by Bafl tiro from Heather, who was bred by C. H. Whitehead. Heather was a * useful mare in her day. At one A puni meeting Heather cleaned up tjj races and if her progeny can anything like her pace, he should P** very useful. - ] A local sportsman in Mr. *• Thwaites, who had Millie AbbeyrtJ in his name, promises to have some** of a more profitable nature to his colours in the near future in shape of a two-year-old gelding by broney from Orellana, by Aberbrotn* Austerlitz, who was bred by Jewell, of Bainesse. His sire has himself to be capable of P r< *?. stayers and although his dain di enjoy a very prominent active o* the youngster, from point of appf ’ promises to be good, for he is of , type and full of vitality and is now being educated by J. Kell., will also be taking in hand tbe* Drought gelding, whom he has acc»*i plenty of time to develop.
