FROM STABLE AND COURSE.

(By “Binocular.”)

Few horses arc stated to be doing better at Ellersliu than United.

Garfox, who showed good form at Woodvillo, will bo ridden by K. Voitre in tho Queen’s Plato at Auckland. Present intentions are to send All Humbug to Auckland whore P. Atkins will ridfi him in tho Railway Handicap. Tho connections of Sabatini expected their representative to run well at Woodville, but tho Arausio gelding disappointed them.

Since running a creditable race at Trentham, Dick Whittington has raced in opon class and hack company, but tho overdue win has not materialised.

For a horse of his inches and racing experience, Senegal produced a, splendid finishing effort on tho second day at Woodville, and he should go on to better things. Aston is now well down in the weights, but the old follow is finding it difficult to capture a stake. He appeared to have his opportunity on tho second day at Woodville, but ho again failed. After Money, a filly by Paper Money— Afterglow, was slow to find her feet at both her starts at Woodvilie, but she finished well and was able to furnish her first stake contribution with a third on tho second day. Invictus, a. four-year-old gelding by St., Petersburg from Mydora, had only £4 invested upon his chances when he ran second in tho Papatawa Hurdles on tho second day at Woodvilie. Tho dividend was a lucrative one.

Wait And See, who registered her first success in the Juvenile Handicap on tho second day at Woodvillo, cost her owner 150gns at the Sydney sales. By Rosewing from Linln.s, the latter is a full-sister to liileacre, the dam of Tresham, Bon ITur and Golden Shadow were freely made uso of in the Stewards’ Handicap on tho second day at Woodvilie, and weakened to finish outside the placed horses. However, tho efforts promise better things in the near future, more particularly where the former is concerned.

Southern reports state that Red Heckle is in excellent order for holiday racing, lie is to be brought north for tho Manawatu meeting and will then go on to tho Wairarapa fixture. B. H. Morris was offered the ride in tho Manawatu Cup, but he has been engaged for Arrow Lad.

TRACK WORK AT RICCARTON

AUCKLAND CANDIDATES GALLOP.

Tho weather was fine for training at Riccarton on Saturday morning, and the inside of tho trial grass track was in good order (says the Star). A lot of useful work was done by horses with early engagements. As usual, galloping the reverse way liy candidates for Auckland occupied attention early. Fast Passage galloped a mile in lmin. 41sec., and pulled up well. Cricket Bat registered a : similar effort, while Fracas ran five furlongs comfortably.

Silver Ring and Shatter went out to gallop a mile in company. When going on to the track, from the inside, they became fractious, running over the crossing toward tile sheds, Shatter being ga.l- - on. Eventually they worked separately, Silver Ring doing a mile in lmin. 42sec., while Shatter was not fully extended over seven furlongs. Shatter received a cut on the near hind joint, and was a trifle stilE when ho cooled off after his work.

Jaloux, with Azalea as a mate for the last six, ran nine furlongs in lmin. 57sec. Gay Crest and Tout le Mond took lmin. 34 2-ssec. for seven furlongs, but did it comfortably. The Quorn sprinted half a mile .in 51see.

Silver Scorn and Berate wound up the reverse work by taking 2min lOsee. for a milo and a quarter. They did the first mile in lmin. 41 3-ssecs., but Berate eased up after reaching the crossing. Concentrate, with Martian Chief for the last six furlongs, ran a mile in lmin. 45 3-ssec.
