TRIALS OF KINGS PLATE CANDIDATES Opinion Grows That Toronto Feature Winner Will Come from Dymcnt or Seagram Stable Toronto Ont May 7 The stage at which the Kings Plate field begins to separate into those that have a chance and those that can safely be counted out by all but their owners has been reached Less than two weeks remain for the completion of the preparation necessary to enable the horses to run a mile and a quarter in 210 or better Some have demonstrated that for them that time will never arrive but a sufficient number of the other kind remain to assure an interesting race As good work as has been done by a Plater this season was a mile by Mr Seagrams Rustling She worked in company with another Plater the fouryearold Havrock and the speedy Rockvllle The last named was the pacemaker with the Platers gallop ¬ ing at his heels Rockvilles time was a quarter in 25 half in 51 fiveeighths in 104 three quarters in 118 and the mile in 147 Rustlings mile was about 148 The other three Platers of tlie Waterloo stable Head Sea Longus and Purple China did an easy mile in 151 accompanied by the English horse Bezant BezantMr Mr Gormans Marybud went the Plate route In 219 easing up after the first mile which was done in 148 She put in the first half In 52 and threequarters in l20if l20ifJane Jane Shore did a mile gallop in 154 She has a doubtful nigh fore leg and does her work the Eng ¬ lish way of the track the right side to the rail She pulled up soundly and trainer Phair is confident that she will be among the starters and in the money alreadyGold as she has been twice already Gold Bud the reliance of the Davies stable for the Plate was sent half a mile in 52 threequar ¬ ters in 118 a mile in 1471 mile and an eighth In 201 and the mile and a quarter in 218f For the last threequarters she was accompanied by the London mare Philis another Plater which did her part of the journey in 122 breaking in con ¬ siderably behind the other marc marcMrs Mrs P Mahers Lilburne looked like qualifying for the impossibles when lie showed a mile In 152 with not much to spare though his pace was even enough throughout the first half In 55 and three quarters In 124 124The The Dymeiit stable provided the most material for talk when Tropaeoliiim and Heresy went a strong mile with the former showing the way throughout Instead of only part of the way as has been his habit They carried more than their due weight with Trenbel arid Grant in the saddle but they performed their task without the least diffi ¬ culty a mile and an eighth in better than two min ¬ utes lielng recorded The work was a mile and they were cantered on for another furlong The frac ¬ tional times were Quarter 25 threeeighths 37 half 50 fiveeighths 104 threequar ¬ ters 110 mile 144 and mile and an eighth in 159 Perhaps tlie most interesting point of a remarkably good work was the prominent part taken by Tropaeoliiim which has generally been consid ¬ ered as not so useful over a considerable distance as tho little Sain horse Undoubtedly the orange amliijreen is strong this year though the other two Marcovil and Sealed Order will not help much Their work was fiveeighths in 105

but ran in spots Her mile was done in 149 but it could not be an indication of her quality Against a strong cool wind she displayed much speed and then fell away on the road home coming tlown to a twominute pace after fiveeighths The fractional time was Quarter 24A threeeighths 37 half 50 fiveeighths 105 threequarters 120 mile 149 149Other Other training gallops Galatlne threequarters in 119

there are no winners of races In this years list many of the candidates have been to the post The older division In fact includes some such as Jane Shore Havrock and Courtown II that have been trained for and run in the Plate race Itself In future years the list will no doubt include many actual winners as the conditions will allow the participa ¬ tion of horses that have won twoyearold races An unusually large proportion of the Platers had some racing experience last season no fevy fevyr r than twelve of the present threeyearolds having been seen under colors Eleven will go to the post for

marked increase in tho entry for the Coronation and some smart young ¬ sters will no doubt be seen in this race raceThe The track was damp and dead this morning and the neighboring lake was shrouded in fog though the land atmosphere was clear clearAmong Among tho youngsters tho most noticeable work was Venus Urania sister to St Bass quarter In 23 and threeeighths in 3C Hearts of Oak 23 and 3J
