PONIES FOR NEXT EXTRA MEETING.
THOSE THAT GALLOFED,
By Patol Ponies entered for the next Face meeting on October were out galloping on the Race Course this
morning.
A notable absentee was Röbbin. Saligi, who is not entered, wus also put through his pacts. «
There was a rumour that a new jockey has arrived from Shanghai but this has not been cönfirmed.
Some of the riders who will be in the saddle on Saturday week were down at the course this morning."
"
The Goblin did a fine gallop. Unfortunately his time for the mile the distance he went) "was not taken. The last half mile wils done in 1.07 last quarter 33.2. He certainly impressed."
Brigade Calf covered a mile in 2:2 4, last quarter 32 Home Call went even better but his last quarter was comparatively slow. Total Abstinence atcftly slowly and finished the last 4 furlongs in good time.
On the whole. the ponies were not asked for any very big effort and the times will be improved on by this Saturday.
