TE AROHA TOPICS

PRESENT FOR TRAINER PROSPECTS FOR THAMES Special to THE SI X TE AROHA, Tuesday. The local horses that are to race • at Takapuna include Miss Albyn, ArchI een, Sir Russell, Antique, Glenstar, \ Volimond. Trig and Lucky Alice. The j Lamb has also been nomniated, but may not be able to put in the necessary track work to justify his being started. Ah Wera, now one of Trainer G. Reid’s team, has not yet fully recovered from the injury to a foreleg, tie is being kept in nice condition, and when able to resume training work will not be long before he can again carry silk. Bert Hinkler is to be put into active work again shortly. He looks fresh and well after the easy time he has lately been allowed to indulge in. Promising Maiden A. E. Cox will have Crown Arch. Glenison and Miss Albyn at the Thames meeting this week. The first-named is looking decidedly bright, while Miss Albyn looks more robust than usual, and is standing up to her work satisfactorily. This sister to Woody Glen may run into the money before the racing season has much further advanced. Some months ago Trainer ,T. Wallace took a lease of Sir Russell from an Auckland sportsman, and has since won three races on end with him. Now he has been presented with the Valkyrian colt. William of Orange, and it is quite within the realms of possibility that the golden chestnut may win races in the new ownership. Marble King appears to be little the worse for his recent racing at Ellerslie, but will have to race better at the Thames meeting if he is to increase his winning total there. His owner has not lost confidence in him, and has accepted the Auckland defeats in a very philosophic manner. The Tonbridge gelding Antique, is nominated for the Wellington Cup. The entry may be termed an ambitious one, as many of the contestants in that event are very solid as regards staying condition. Off His Oats On account of not feeding well. Sir Russell could not be started at Ellerslie. He has again started to pick up, and it may not be long before he is right again. He will be sent to the Thames meeting this week. Glenstar galloped fairly well this morning, considering the outside of the course was somewhat damp. He will not, however, be showing his best form until the weather clears up, because he is liable to become gross unless he can be worked regularly. Terrapeen and St. Warrigal in G. Reid’s stable are looking well. The former has been a little disappointing this season, but when she strikes form will pay her way. Final Gallops Work of a useful nature was witnessed on the tracks this morning. Antique, Tarrapeen and Crown Arch only put in half to three-quarter pace work, while Leasehold trotted and cantered two rounds on the plough. The Day Comet—Poi juvenile swung over a couple of rounds in good style. Marble King went with Archeen for six furlongs, which took 1.19 3-5. Archeen finished with the most dash. Honiton (The Lacemaker filly) and Taumai were sent five furlongs. They raced together all the way and finished abreast in 1.6 2-5. Glenstar carried Sir Russell along at a good bat in the early stages of a six-furlongs run, but at the threefurlongs post the chestnut joined the leader and at the post Sir Russell had slightly the better- of the bout, which took 1.19 2-5. Both were ridden bv light boys. Volimond showed at least a partial return to form by running five furlongs with Trig in 1.4 4-5, and being slightly in front at the post. Lucky Alice stopped over half a mile in 51 3-5. Miss Albyn and Glenison registered 52 for four furlongs, and Grand Arch went half a mile in 51 3-5. St. Warrigal and Kanui, who will probably join the ranks of the hurdlers in due course, took 1.7 for five furlongs. The former was bounding along throughout as if he liked the work, and has apparently made a good recovery from his recent setback.
