HORSES FOR FOXTON

WINSOME LU AND WAR LAP HAWERA TRACK GALLOPS Winsome Lu and War Lap will represent the Hawera centre at Foxton lomorrow. War Lap will be ridden by J. Toki, but so far no rider has been engaged for Winsome Lu. Conditions yesterday were again ideal, but few gallops were performed, the majority of the horses being relegated to routine exercise and solid pace work. War Lap (Toki) was given a useful I working gallop, and no fault can oe found with his condition. Winsome Lu (Reilly) starting from the seven furlongs, went away slowly and took 29s to cover her first two furlongs. Livening up, she reached the three furlongs in 42s, where she was joined by Val Pere (Whiro) and the haif-mile was passed in 55s. A smart pace was maratained to the finish, Val Pere finishing ra head in frgnt in lm 351s, the last throe I furlongs being compassed in 404s. This was quite a good effort on Winsome Lu s ipart, and she looks like being in the money at Foxton. Le Marquise, Gold Grip and Chillern I were given solid pace work on the inside i plough. 1 Golden King (Cole) sprinted three furlongs in 39 l-5s. Golden King promises I to be in good order for the Waverley I meeting when he is due to make his appearance. , Air Flight (McDonald) dashed over three furlongs in 38 2-5s and is coming to hand rapidly. Student Prince. Valdette, Stencil, Filbert and Tavoy were allotted pace work. Friesland (Holland), Martene (McDonald) and Chief Lord (Ryan) were associated in a gallop from the seven furlongs. Friesland soon took command and led into the back two lengths in front of Martene. two furlongs occupying 26s and three 39s. Friesland there pulled off. ! Martene finished in front of Chief Lord at the half-mile in 53 4-5s. The two-year-olds Miss Phaleron (Graham) and Rena Ra (Reilly) sprinted two furlongs in 25s the first-named ! showing to advantage. : A good schooling effort was performed by Resingold (S. Grindlay) and Notium ! (W. Grindlay). Resingold jumped brilliantly and completely eclipsed Notium, who, however, gave an improved exhibition. . Royal Star II (Cole) was restricted to a couple of rounds of steady pace exercise, working well. He gives evidence of having done plenty of road work and should soon reach top form again. Royal Star II is to race at the Stratford meeting Southern Blood, after a considerable absence owing to tendon troubles, made his reappearance. working quite soundjly. S. McGreal is confident that the treatment has been successful. Present intentions are to reserve Southern Blood for winter racing.
