Hoylake Still Gallops Fast

SMART RICCARTON TRIAL HORSES FOR TRENTHAM (Special to THE SIS) CIU'JSTCHUKCH, Tuesday. Uoylake was the outstanding galloper at Iliccarton this morning. He ran seven l'urlonss on the plough track iii T3O. and though assisted over the last five furlongs by L'cscrt Song, he proved far too good for his mate, and had a couple of lengths to spare at the close. Prior to his gallop Uoylake showed marked stubbornness and refused to walk on to the track. In fact. his trainer had great ditlieulty in inducing him to leave the scraping sheds, and during the first furlong of his gallop he would not hit out at all. But when joined by Desert Song he began to move generously, so that he must have come home at a pretty fast bat. The imported horse has only to race up to his track work to take a power of beating in the Wellington Racing Club Handicap on Saturday. Quickplunge and Juniper ran five furlongs in 1.6 2-5, and over six furlongs Miss Nightruid and Topere recorded 1.18 3-5. Two Good Ones Chide and Meprisant were sent a strong gallop over nine furlongs. There was little to choose between the pair at any stage, and for the full journey they occupied 1.58 1-5, an excellent performance. Satisfy ran four furlongs in 50. She was not extended, however, and hit out very freely. Kentish Lady and Malmsley ran home from the seven furlongs in 1.34 3- and Sea Raid occupied 1.18 1-5 for the last srx of hsr seven furlongs. Subdivision ran five furlongs in J .4, and Red Heckle sprinted half a mile in 52 1-5. Night Dew and The Viscount left six furlongs behind in 1.21 4- and Thurso, Morian and Coupling were matched over six furlongs, which was travelled in 1.21. The Count Goes Well A smart nine furlong gallop was credited to Count Cavour, who showed to better advantage than Amor over that distance in 1.58. The Count is improving with each gallop, and looks so strong and healthy that it may not be long before he shows something like his old form again. Tane and Sapient ran half a mile in 50 1-5, with Sapient clear at the end. Prickles, Aberfeldy and Gala Day got through a strong working gallop.

Te Awhina and Bulolo ran five furlongs on No. G grass in 1.3 3-5, and for the same distance Pahautanui recorded 1.3 1-5. Haulage led llaze over live furlongs on the plough in 1.6, and on the grass Royal Stanley beat Gold Wells in 52 2-5 over four furlongs. Chickwheat and Grand Acre did four furlongs on the grass in 51. and on the same track over the same journey Arch Arrow and Nastori registered 50 2-5. Orifiamb (E. Shaw) jumped lour hurdles in brilliant fashion. W. Stone will leave for Trentham by this evening’s ferry with Tray Bond, Silver Paper and Aspiring; IT. Cutts takes Ball Dress and Semper Paratus, and D. Campbell with Satisfy will also go North this evening. T. Lloyd is clue to leave on Thurs-

day with Hoylake and Phastar, and R. W. King will take King Musket, Prickles and Aberfeldy North on the same evening. ONE WAY TO WIN FOLLOW WELL-BACKED BEATEN HORSES Another instance of the wisdom of following a horse that had failed when heavily backed was forthcoming .in the Waverley Handicap on the concluding day ol the Rand wick spring carnival. This was the four-year-old horse King Conrad, owned and trained by the Kandwick mentor, G. Price. King Conrad won his first race at MenangJe Park when two years old, and his owner early considered .that the horse might develop into a Derby proposition. King Conrad by his subsequent displays dumped that enthusiasm, and all hope of his doing anything outstanding as a three-year-old was lost. This season he galloped well on the tracks, and at the recent Tattersail’s meeting he was heavily backed for the Novice Handicap. He could not do better than fifth after having every chance. He seemed to have a penchant for finishing in about that position in his races. for he was not farther back than sixth at his next four starts. At Long Odds The public dismissed him from tlieir calculations, but followers of the stable “chased” their money in the Waverley Handicap, and as they received twent^eS i , tor fbeir investments they probably find King Conrad on the right side of the ledger. Third most of the way. King Conrad did not put in his claim until the last furlong was entered upon.

First Acre, who was always in the market on this occasion, had followed i? t,e wake of. King Conrad most of the way, and he, too, had a say in the finish. In the last 50 yards he mtU ‘, lave Kin S Conrad beaten, and l i?,^ C / Va + rodC the latter vigorously, Survi™ « UP in time.
