After Newcastles poor showing in his last Saturday's race, keen interest was evidenced in seeing him take his training work yesterday. He was given 1% mile with boy up and came out of it most satisfactorily, with a finish such as he put up when winning his race by six lengths at the 6th Extra race meeting. His 1% mile was done in 2562, last half 1.04.1, last quarter 30., finishing like a Champion winner.
The only other really good 1% mile gallop that I saw and timed during the morning was that done by Cordon Rouge (BL) in 2.52.2, last half 1.04.4, last quarter 31, going very fast in the last few strides.
