CANTERBURY J.C.

There was a tremendous rush by the public for positions to view the preliminaries and the race for the G. G. Stead Gold Cup, and as it was considered that Limerick was unbeatable, his number was in great demand, and it eventually carried over three-fourths of the machine total. The race is easily described, as Limerick waited in behind the leaders until the home run was entered, and when his rider called on him he took command and soon had his opponents in trouble. It was a case of a champion bowling along at what appeared a leisurely pace, while three good horses were struggling their best to keep within reasonable distance of him. He had the race won at the distance post, and cheering commenced from that point until Limerick was taken out of the birdcage to his box. The public were even more enthusiastic than was the case on Canterbury Cup day, and they gave vent to their satislied feelings in no uncertain manner. At the conclusion of the race Mrs Gould presented the handsome gold cup I attached to the stake to Mr H. 'A. Knight after the chairman of the coraI mittee, Mr G. Gould, had delivered an appropriate address, paying a special tribute to the successful efforts of the trainer, F. D. Jones, and the rider. A. E. Ellis, both of whom occupied exalted positions in their profession. Limerick's time for the distance, 2.5, equalled that of Sa&anoff in 1918, who held the • honours until Winning Hit established the Australian and New Zealand record of 2.3 1-5 in 1921. The sectional times in Saturday's race were as follow: First furlong, 14 2-5; two furlongs, 27 2-5 three 3Q. 2-5, five 1.1 2-5, six 1.14 2-5, and the last four furlongs in 50 4-5.

The Members' Handicap was productive of extensive speculation, but the public were rather astray in their calculations. The race was full of interest, Booster unwinding an undeniable run in the deciding stages to gain the verdict by a narrow margin from the double Stewards' Handicap winner, Comic Song, this pair beinig; well clear of the third place getter, Civility, who has evidently lost the form which characterised her last season's racing. The Riccarton trained Paperchase was justifiably made the public choice, but she failed to reproduce her previous effort, while Centrepiece showed every prospect of living up to his reputation until the last stages of the journey found him wanting. Booster has been a solid performer' for his owners, and at the present time is a, bettor horse than at any other period of his career. He is assuredly a credit to his trainer, who has been associated with all his successes.

There was a surprisingly poor response from owners for the Stonyhurst Handicap, which was included in the programme a few years back to provide an exclusive race for fhree-year-olds on the last day of the Meeting. There were forty-one nominations for the event, and, as one trainer said on Saturday, "I thought with such a big entry there would be too big a field for my filly, so I did not pay up." Apparently thirty-six other owners had similar ideas and only four contestants went to the post. The issue was considered to rest between the Oaks.winner, Wild Pigeon, and Rotor, winner of the Randolph Handicap on the second day, but Don Jose, a son of that good performer Michaela, recorded a surprise victory for Mr G. Gerard, whose enterprise in support of racing deserves important victories of this nature. Speculation on the totahsator was fairlv spirited, but the figures were considerably affected by the two fourhorse races. During the day the sum of £54,024 10s was handled, as against £55.029 10s for the correspond ins: day last Year, showing a decrease of £IOOS 10s. " The aggregate for the four days was £204.449 10s, as compared with £197,305 for last year's meeting, representing an increase of £7144 10s. The following table shows the amounts invested on each day of tho last four Metropolitan Meetings (omitting odd 10s tickets): —

Metropolitan Meeting. CONCLUDING DAY. Limerick's Stead Gold Cup. Climatic conditions did not look at all favourable during the late forenoon on Saturday, and it was generally anticipated that the usual good fortune enjoyed by the Canterbury Jockey Club had deserted it. Light rain fell during the hour preceding the opening event of the concluding day's programme, but fortunately the clouds lifted shortly after midday, and the weather for the remainder of the afternoon was fine. The public again assembled in good numbers, and although investors did not fare so well as on the two opening days, the racing being most enjoyable throughout. The contest for the G. G. Stead Gold Cup evoked keen interest, and once more Limerick was the great attraction, a large section of the public making their first acquaintance with the champion. And what a champion he has proved himself to be! He experienced no difficulty in defeating his three opponents in time that was not far outside the record for the race, and he did not have to do his best to add another honour to his list. The Members' Handicap was won by the West Coastowned but Riccarton-traiited Booster, who beat a large and representative field in an impressive manner. The three-year-old race produced a surprise for investors, Don Jose recording an attractive victory for the Gerard stable. The remaining events were keenly contested, the finish of the last race being a fitting wind-up to one of the most successful Metropolitan Meetings from every viewpoint held for many years.

NOTES ON THE RACING,

Thorndale Wins Easily. The day's programme opened with the Suburban Handicap, Beaumont and Joy Bird being the withdrawals. Eowley was always favourite, with the Vallanee bracket next in demand- Bed Fuchsia and Cornstalk were the first to break the line, and led to the mile post, where Wreath of Myrtle joined Cornstalk, and this pair piloted Grand National, Bed Fuchsia, Thorndale, Projector, Goosestep across the top. Cornstalk was the first to enter the straight from Wreath of Myrtle, but they were soon done with, and Thorndale took charge when the run home was commenced. He was challenged by Eowley, Goose'step, and Bed Fuchsia, but finishing full of running, won without much effort by two lengths from the favourite, who lost ground at the start, and was at the tail of the field at the end of three furlongs. Goosestep was a good third, a length away from Eowley, with Bed Fuchsia fourth, followed by Green Cloth Projector and Grand NationalThorndale ran a good race into fourth place in the Epsom Handicap on the second day, but this fact was evidently overlooked by investors. Eowley was the unlucky horse in the race, as he was a long way back when the straight was entered. Goosestep was well fancied b/ his party, but had to be satisfied with a minor placing. Cornstalk was again prominent for a good portion of the journey, but did not stick to his task to the end. From End to End. Solferite, Taboo, Sir Boy, and Lausanne were the defections from the Cressy Handicap, the public placing their confidence in Beaumont, who was withdrawn from the previous event, and was having his first race- at the Meeting. Arpent and Kenmore got the worst of the start, from which Gold Brick was the first to show out, and led along the back and to the straight from Easeal, Eeceipt, and Eoyal Saxon, with Nincompoop at the head of the. remaining bunch. Withourt being troubled Gold Brick went on to win comfortably by two lengths from Nincompoop, who finished on well to beat Monoghan by a neck. Bascal was close up fourth, and then followed Vertigern, Black Duke,' and Moorland. Gold Brick practically repeated his previous performance at the Meeting by acting as pacemaker from the barrier rise, but in this race he improved on that running by seeing;.the journey out in attractive style- He is a more than useful galloper and should do further good service for his owner and the Orari trainer, E. C. Keeper, who took the gelding over from E. Scoullar about six months ago. Nincompoop ' again paid a good price for second place, a surprising fact in view of his earlier creditable performance at the Meeting. Eeceipt had every chance, but closed up badly in the straight. The favourite was never prominent, nor was Black Duke, who has been an expensive proposition at the Meeting. A Consistent Two-Year-Old. The Pioneer Handicap gave the favourite, Silver Eule, a well-earned vicr tory. The Australian-bred High Disdain had a slight advantage from Silver Eule as the course proper was reached, but the latter held the upper hand in the run to the post, and gained the verdict by a length, High Disdain being two lengths clear of Goblin Market. Flicker finished on well in fourth place, in front of Concentrate, Te Atiawa, Island Fastness, Chide, and Eigmarole.

Silver Kule has been in a place in her last half dozen starts, and is likely to play an important part later in her career. High Disdain was at a disadvantage with her on account of circumstances preventing him racing before at the Meeting. He was purchased in Australia by his present owner, and more will be heard of him- Goblin.Market saw out the distance better than in previous essays, and will improve with racing. The ponified Flicker again ran a sterling race, and is a solid galloper for one of her inches. Concentrate also finished well, but bred as he is, by Kilbroney from Oratress, he will require time to be seen to full advantage. Full Feather was not at all prominent, but in his case also, he will be better favoured later. One for Booster. The Members' Handicap was a good betting race, Paperehase being a thousand tickets better favourite than Centrepiece, the next five in order being fairly evenly supporte/i. Booster was the first to show out from Paperehase and Shirley, but after a furlong had been covered, the last-named went to the front, and piloted Centrepiece, Paper Bov, Civility, Paperehase, and Booster into the straight. Shirley was done with at the distance post, and Booster headed Centrepiece commencing the run to the judge, while Comic Song came from a long way back. The latter was unable to catch Booster, who crossed the line with a neck advantage. Civility again finished strongly, and gained third money two lengths away. Centrepiece tired over the concluding stages, and was close up fourth, in front of Shirley, Joy Bird, Paper Boy, Lausanne and Paperehase. Booster benefited by his race in the Criterion Handicap, and his victory in this race was full of merit. It was unfortunate for his connexions that he had to be withdrawn from the Stewards' Handicap at the last minute as although he would have had a task to beat Eulalie, he may have gained place money. Comic Song's prospects one part of the journey of being on hand at the finish, did not look hopeful, but he gathered up all but the winner, in the run' home. Civility was just not good enough, while Centrepiece, after being in a promising position all the way, threw out signals of distress at the" business end- The same applies to Shirley and Paperehase, who did not finish up to expectations. A Surprise Victory. The Seymour Handicap attracted a large field of twenty, Duke Abbey being a staunch favourite. A surprise was in store, however, as the lightlyfancied Kindle drew out inside the distance and soon had the race in hand. Quantum and Greyfinch madte the earls

running, and the former led into the J

straight from Spode, Kindle, Amor, and Bronstell. Quantum stopped badly in the run home, and Kindle shot out from the middle of the field and won easily by three lengths from Kalos, who also made a late run and beat Jarretiere by four lengths. Bronstell was a neck away nest, and then came Tembronev, Greyfinch, Motor Smash, Skyquest/aiid Moratorium.

The winner was recently purchased by the Trentham owner-trainer H. B. Lorigan, and this was his first success under the new colours. He contested twelve races last season without securing a place. Kalos ran a promising race, but had no chance with Kindle. Jarretiere gave her best performance for some time, and finished on well. The favourite failed to show up at any stage. Redoubtable Limerick. I The G. G. Stead Gold Cup created widespread interest. Limerick was made a very short-priced favourite, carrying three-fourths of the machine total, Martarma's chance being considered better than either that of the other two runners. Martarma and Footfall raced together in front of Grand Knight and Limerick for the first mile, and there was not much between the quartet at the straight. Limerick made a move forward when headed for home, and although Grand Knight issued a challenge, the champion won without much apparent effort by a good length. Heads only separated the other three. Another Small Field. The four acceptors for the Stonyhurst Handicap went to the post, Wild Pigeon being made a better favourite than Eotor. Latin Quarter was slow off the mark, but made up his ground quickly, and was running, in behind Don Jose and Eotor at the end of three furlongs. 1 Don Jose was first into the straight from Latin Quarter, Eotor, and Wild Pigeon. The last-named made a determined effort in the run home, but was unable to make any impression on the leader, who kept his advantage to win by two lengths from the favourite, with Eotor a neck away third. Latin Quarter was two lengths back last. Don Jose was only beaten off in the last few strides of the Hagley Handicap on the second day of the fixture, but it was apparently not thought by the majority of investors that he would have much chance of beating the Oaks winner, Wild Pigeon, or Eotor. He ran badly both at Dunedin and Wellington following on attractive track gallops, and it was not until this Meeting that he showed signs of fulfilling his earlier promise.. Wild Pigeon was considered the best of propositions by northerners, but ■ had no chance with Don Jose once the straight was reached. Eotor did not finish on so well as expected. A Close Finish. The betting pool in the concluding event of the Meeting, the Fendalton Handicap, topped the £12,000 .mark, Set Sail carrying over two thousand more tickets than were entrusted to Bennanee, while the next four in demand attracted over £IOOO each. Pink Note was the most prominent for the greater part of the journey, and was followed to the straight by Taboo, Battlement, Front Bank, David Garrick, Bennanee, and Set/ Sail. The southerner was the first into the straight, but was done with when headed by Yoma, and the latter was proclaimed the winner. Bennanee. then: appeared on the scene, and, settling down to his task in a determined manner, was overhauling Yoma in every stride to the post. Yoma, however, had enough in reserve to keep Bennanee at bay,, and the judge's verdict went in his favour by a nose. Countersign, who only had Overhaul behind her entering the straight, ploughed down the remainder •of"the field in/the run home, and got to'within a length and a half of the leaders, gaining third money from Mandane, who was followed home by Front Bank, Set Sail, Pink Note, and Battlement, with Overhaul last. It was a fitting finish to.a moat successful Meeting. Bennanee timed bis run a little late, and would have beaten Yoma in another stride. The.latter's effort, however, was-full of merit, and his performances at the Meeting stamped him as a solid galloper. Countersign was the unfortunate contestant, as she was stopped badly in her first attempt to get through the big field in front of her, but when she got clear she-showed a striking turn of speed. Her followers were certainly unlucky not to participate in the big return which she would have made lad she' been better favoured earlier. Set Sail disappointed, as, after her promising run in the Jockey Club Handicap, it was thought the race would have made her the best of propositions against the opposition offering. Mandane and Front Bank gave creditable displays, bub, like those behind them, were outclassed by the place-getters. Winning Owners.
