TRAINING GALLOPS
Preparing For Saturday's Meeting
(BY: MORNING DEW")
No very fast times were recorded on the course yesterday al-. though some of the gallops were of more than ordinary Interest.
One of the outstanding features of the morning's work was a mile by King's Warden who took-2.10 for the fourher, covering the fast half mille in 101. This pony will be a big factor in 'the Grifin's Cup on Saturday, and will probably solve the problem of where the" St. Leger will be going. The "Dynasty " stable, in fact, has 's very strong claim for the St Leger as their other candidate, King's Fancy, is also at the top of his form. He covered six furlong's in convincing styla yesterday...
Brechin and Mayflower, who are due to meet over a middle distance"event öri Saturday, moved impressively. Others that went well wete Tiny Star, Flying Tourist, Chesterfield, Ribble, Racing Boy and Gladiator.
