FINAL WORK-OUTS AT TE AROHA

NO BRILLIANT TIMES (Special to THE SUN) TK AROHA. Thursday. The hurdle horse, llangawera. has joined the local track workers. On Tuesday morning he sprinted well over four furlongs, and this morning was sent a round on the rough at a good working pace. He is engaged at the Hamilton meeting this week. A trainer’s licence has been granted by the Racing Conference to John Ev* who is associated with J. H. Wallace's stable. Eva is thoroughly well versed in the matter of racing preparation, and when he is ready f> start off should not experience a lack of horac?. The Trial Stakes at To Rapa 0n Saturday will see four Te Aroha maiden performers carrying the colours. One is the General Latour gclding. Indolent, who has now commenced to put on condition, but * solidly run six furlongs may nnd him out. Taumai and Ahwera have aot been in long enough to race to advantage. but Black Maire. if he gets avray favourably, may run well forward. Waltzer and Queen Arch will be the only representatives of the Hine* stable at Te Rapa on Saturday. Both are considered to be in satisfactory condition, and they will need tc be. * 5 they have to compete with a rather good class in their events. Ruffles and Orchus are still registering nice work. The former should pay his way well this season, but Orchus is still difficult to place. C. E. Mallowcs is getting the four-

year-old Marble Arch mare into racing shaps. She is not to be hurried, so it may be into the autumn before she will be called upon to carry the colours. Final Gallops A heavy gale was against really good track work being registered this morning. Good working gallops wero executed by Hangawera, William of Orange, Lucky Alice, Upoko. Glen Star, Ruffles, Orchus. Tea Time and Nancy Lee were associated in a five-furlong sprint. As usual, Tea Time was quickly out, while Nancy took matters leisurely. At the finish Tea Time was nearly a length in front. They ran 1.5, but both could have done better. The gallop did not provide a line as to how they are likely to run at Te Rapa Black Maire and Indolent also ran five furlongs in 1.5. The former led throughout, as he carried *a lighter weight, but Indolent made up his ground toward the finish. Valkon and Taumai were sent five furlongs in 1.5 2-5. The former is a lazy worker, so the maiden ftayed with him throughout. Te Koroke and Love Call sprinted over half a mile in 53, but Te Koroke’s rider lost a stiirup early and finished two lengths away.. Love Call moved freely, as usual. If the track at Te Rapa is damp she may not be able to run up to track form. The local hunter put in two rounds and sprinted four furlongs in 55.

WAIKATO TRIAL LIST OF COUPLED HORSES There will be several brackets in th« Trial Plate at Te Rapa to-morrow. They are as follow: First Division. —King Fame and The Jack Jumper, Valroe and Any Day.

The Trial Plate is the only race ip which there are brackets to-morrow. White Fang showed good form at Ellerslie, and as he is still capable or a lot of improvement he may do eve better at Trentham, although he ma be hardly good enough for the crar sprinters. Then there is Lysan ’ who showed some of his old “a sll Ellerslie recently. It would be J - like old times to see—or hear—of "F sander and Commendation fighting the finish. * * * Joy King was given a . race . or n t J' T h on the Hawke’s Bay circuit last nao but was not ready for serious *> * ness—a business of training horses _ public that is growing altogether - frequent in this country. . th l advices from the Bay show *nat Comedy King gelding is fast CO®** back to form, so that very shorti. will be in the limelight once more. * * * thfl - Gold Tinge could have won A.J.C. Breeders’ Plate last weex £ the proverbial street, had it sired, but a mere four or five was ample margin when playing _ safety alone, and not for time rec ° , The Paper Money gelding is 3 ' flyer, a point upon which • critics are agreed, even' if they • we have no horsemen in this COuE ■ —and in this, too, they may no far wide of the mark. In the two juvenile classics <iecid®J at Avondale and Ellerslie, l k e re *. lias been practically the same—» P macy walking in ahead of hub Day and the rest. It may oe same in the Wellesley Stakes at tham to-morrow, with probably __ e Money on this occasion playing 3 conspicuous part behind the two ® tioned. Supremacy unfortunai y not in the field. * * * Royal Lineage showed that in good form when he won at siie recently, and on the Tren course, practically a straight should be very much at home. one time it was thought tl,a = nto 3 Limond gelding would classic performer, but somethin© a # against him, and he did not do a ( deal of racing, and often in m company. He has a chance to J himself to-morrow, together * l 29 others, including Historic more, Desert Lad and the wr*-* old Royal Duke —all fair sorts.
