Ah the training work done yesterday was on the inside track, which was in good condition, possibly not to do time on, but certainly suitable for doing sound, useful training wark, This was the opinion of more than ope of the regular riders out during most mornings. Most of the matsheds "have gone, and until the sun was well up it was possible to follow the ponies more closely in their work all round the track than has lately been the case. Whilst some good and useful work was done, no gallops at a good pace came to my notice; still, many of the following as training gallops were good Loch Maree, with Benlomond, went 1% mile in 3.07, last quarter 34, the Jatter sticking it out well at the finish.
Cluniehouse did slow work, with last mile in 2362, last quarter 334, finishing well with no pressure. Yeni also went slow, his last mile being 234 and last quarter 343.
Don Enrico started from the 1% mile post doing the first quarter at a slow pace, then the last mile in 2243, last quarter $2.2.
Don Blanco may have gone 1% mile, his last 1% mile was 2583, last quarter 33.3.
Purpleray and Primroseray also went 1% mile, they doing it in 2594 last quarter 34.4.
Rain, owner up, was given a good training gallop of 1% mile in 336, last quarter 344, finishing a bit bean but a little faster work will show him back to his best form.
Lame, with Downside, did their 1% mile in 3.093, last quarter 342, the griffin sticking to it in the last furlong.
Cordon Rouge went 1% mile, doing the last 1% mile in 3.10, last quarter White Parade did his 1% mile in 2573, last quarter 33.3, White Night and White Willie their mile in 2.20.
Cherrylight finished up his gallop with the last mile of it in 2.303, last quarter 352. I noticed Merrylight finishing well, but did not time the gallop.
Man o' Zest with Sir Richard, did a mile in 2264, last quarter 342.
The only Australian I timed was Carmalita, who did 1% mile in 2434, last quarter 292, going easy.
