Belvedere's Gallop

One of the best gallops of the morning was done by Belvedere with A. Noodt riding. He was given 1% mile, which he did in 2.53.4, last mile 215.1, last % mile 1.39.2, last half 1044, and last quarter 322 On this gallop his prospects in the 34 race on Saturday look distinctly good. L. H. Wade rode Benlomond for 1% mile doing the distance in 257, last quarter 33, not finishing ive badly, still hardly likely to win against good company on Saturday.

Claverton went one mile with Downside the former doing it in 2493, last quarter 32. Busted Straight went a fast 1% mile, doing this distance in 252. He had Artimid with him from the start. but the latter could not stay with him down the home straight when Busted Straight was knocking off the last quarter in 322, The Cosmopolitan did his mile in 2252, last quarter 23, and Hwangchow his in 2.244, last quarter 341. A. Noodt took the Fledgling a nice training gallop of 1% mile in 2542, last quarter 32.1,
