THE RACES.
DAIRY FARM NEWS.
LATEST TRAINING TIMES.
With the Races only nine days away, there is growing interest being displayed in the training and there are ponies to be seen out every morning. The change in the weather is welcomed, by owners and trainers, for it gives the ponies a chance of a natural swest and many of them are already showing much improved form.
Below we publish some of the times recorded on Saturday, Surday, and this morning, and regres thai, owing to pressure on our space, we have been compelled to refrain from giving these recorded on Friday. On that morning Empire Dablia did a mile and three quarters in just over the four minutes, and finished up quite strongly.
The feature of this morning's gallops was the fast last quarter of three-quarters of a mile done by Roman Victory, some watches recording 28.3 secs, and others 19.
