NOTES AND COMMENTS EPSOM WORK YESTERDAY NOTHING SENSATIONAL RECORDED The early morning showers did not seriously hamper work at Alexandra Park yesterdy morning, when there was a good muster of interested spectators. Horses were plentiful, and although several solid bouts -were witnessed, there was nothing of an exceptionally exciting nature to record. An Improving Trotter Roma Bingen, who has improved both in health and general condition during the past fortnight, worked at a solid clip over two miles. The

daughter of Nelson Bingen did not look for trouble and was doing it nicely. If she would handle the grass properly Roma would have a show in her class. An Exhibition Trot The following entries have been received by the secretary of the Northland Trotting Club for the exhibition trot to be held at the Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s spring show at Whangarei: Bell Dial, Wee Thelma, Moko Swift, Irish Bell, Lola Reklaw, Moko Fly, Tehoro. In the Pink Nelson Tasker was not urged to do his best while traversing several circuits, although four furlongs were reeled off at a clip which pleased the admirers of the Henderson horse. A. Ayres has the handsome son of Nelson Bingen—Sal Tasker remarkably well at present. Two Good Relatives Black Gold (H. Kinnimont) and Gold Jacket (A. Richardson) hopped away for a mile and a-half hustle, the former having the advantage of the start. For a mile Black Gold kept her brother busy, but from there Gold Jacket had the better of the argument. Both pacers are in great heart. No Cause For Worry Anselm was hunted along free-legged over several circuits and accomplished his task boldly. Although the Nut Ansel gelding was not on a recordmaking mission he tramped a good gait throughout, finishing strongly. On returning to the box it was noticed Anselm had struck a knee, but there was nothing to cause anxiety. Not Going Right Luvan was geared up in the presence of her intimate admirers, and with A. Julian in the sulky set out for a solid

work-out. It was spoiled however by the uncertain gait of the Lulu Boy mare, who when the pace was clapped on tangled. She will require to do better to get any money.

Margaret Goes Well Margaret Wallace had Golden Park for company over a mile spin, the former giving the most cheek when it came to the end of the journey. Ted Sandel has this mare in fine condition, and she may be found on deck at Whangarei. A Promising Maiden Nothing pleased better than the four-year-old Lord Lou. who was on the track when Nelson Tasker was exercising. Young’s colt went with the Henderson horse for a solid half and then had a go with Speed King. When the pace was on over the last circuit Speed King broke badly and Lord Lou went on to finish a good task alone.

Both Going Strong

Uncle Bert (J Lynch) and Va» » (H. Kinnimont) were associate? ■ bout over 12 furlongs. Van rL* * the rails kept the consistent Unde J' all the way. and neither ■ loafing. Uncle Bert drew leve?t.*y home bend and the pair finiahE % terms. «• Not Right Yet

Billy Carbine (A. Ayres) and* Nut tG. Webb) worked together a number of circuits, at a fairlv "*' pace. The former does not be quite right yet. and owner ViXj is somewhat puzzled over th« ri !!! ’ bine, who is a hard liorsa to*2?" dition on. He has a good stvleVi?' motion. * c »- Wants To Go Solid

Prefers Short Journey Wrigley had the war-paint on and stepped briskly over a mile, which was just as far as the son of Florizel— Spearmint appeared able to go at the prescribed bat. C. G. Lee has this pacer pretty well.

A Useful Work-Out An interesting piece of work earlier in the week was accomplished by Hyp* (G. Webb), Dad’s Hope (W. Clifton Speed King (G. Stubbs), and Margarr Wallace (E. Sandall). The quart*?:* went over a 12-furlong journey, racins at a solid clip in close formation. lr. the run to the post Hypo showed suff cient speed to get home first. Although no clocks were broken it was a ttseful work-out. Why Not Repeat It?

Anseline with. J. Gee holding the ribbons, gave an encouraging displa early in the week, when with Van Rich for a companion, the mare trotted t

solid two miles. If the daughter of Nut Ansel would do her work with th« same determination on race day tier* would not be many capable of finishnf in front of her.
