Main Trentham Sprint Event To Ladyship

The Wellington Cup, with its £6100 prize, was the highlight of a feature programme at Trentham on Saturday. A furlong from home there were a dozen horses well in the picture and a blanket finish seemed likely. However, ther paee from the mile had been £usco^cher,, and after the wild race for positions on the home turn, most of the horses were left w'ithont a fiiia.l run. "When Spare Part's jockey asked him for an extra effort the Southland eandidate drew right away to win as he liked by five lengths. Beau le -Havre, last after seven furlongs, had to sustain a long run ' wide out, to be within striking distance of the leaders at the top of the straight. He finished with rare courage to gef second money, two lengths in front of Dunbar, which made up a loj; of ground over the last half mile. Desert Fox, not in the call half a mile from home, was fourth, Howe, after being with the leaders all the way, was fifth, the fast-finishing Indian Dawn was sixth, and Langue d'Or, Awapuni 's only representative, was seVenth.

No Paee On Early Tlie going was lieavy and there was liglft rain just bel'ore the field was lined up for the start. There was little paee 011 early and Falconbridge, Howe, King's Ransora, Barrage, Eobin's Reward, Loyal Bian, Regal Praise and Dunbar wrere all under a good hold as the field raeed past the stands. Appfoaehing the mile post Falconbridge suddenly dashed to a clear lead and Howe' went after him. That started it and with the paee suddenly eracked 011 it was a wild dash to the far turn where Spare Part, three out, went up to join Howe and King's Eansom. Nest was Langue d 'Or on the rails, and Loyal Bian, Barrage and -Falconbridge were there and Beau le Havre fuur or live out was just in front of Eoyal Tan, also wide out. Howe, King's Eansom, Spare Part, Langue d'Or aud Beau le Havre were prominent iuto the straight aud, Dunbar, Desert Fox and indian Dawn were improving. Over the last bit, however, Spare Part drew away to win easily. Totalisator Was Down £54,627 The weather was iine for most of tlie day but there were scmie light showers. The attendance wus good and the totalisator hundied £292,951 (win £92,873, place £1.10,078), compared with £257,578 on Cup day last year, the drop being £54,627. Two' Wins for Awapuni Stables Awapuni stables won two ruces with incideut and Pitoitoi, incident being. trained by J. J. Wallcr, and the lilly by G. W. New. In the Ituapehu Handi--cap, whicli was won by Pim.lico, the ininor places were fiiled by Meteorina, trained by Allan McDonald, and Horouta, trained by C. J. Thomson. Incident won the Highwoight after a tlirilling battle with the Woodvilleowned gelding Master Gary, and tlie photo indicated that the margin was only half a head. Uribute and Sten moved up to Kelmont half a mile from home and at the tuni into the straight Incident commenced his run. Then Master Gary issued his challenge and in a punishing iinish Incident just won. Dawn March linished weil for third and Kelmont stuck on gamely for fourth ahead of Eockanui. Pitoitoi Just Beat Jaconet The Anu Bridge-indian Coronet braeket was favourite for the six-fur-iong two-year-old ruce, but the winner was Pitoitoi which carried 9.5 and just beat T. C. Lowry 's Bulandshar lilly/ Jaconet, which carried 7.5. Pitoitoi had eharge on to the course proper and Anu Bridge, Air Belle and Jaconet were all in the picture. It was over the last half -furlong that Jaconet challenged. Ilard ridden, Pitoitoi just won. Sandalwood linished well for tliird and Ann Bridge and Gold Spoon were next. Easy for Great Trek

The Wellington Stakes proved the best of good things for Great Trek which did not leave the issue in doubt, winning easily by three lengths ffom Magical, a similar distance in front oi Eetrieve. Tauloch and Tranquil Gold were next. Tauloch was favourite but the two-year-old could not haudle the going and he never iooked lilte taking part' in the iinish. Broie FinisEed Well Broie finished well to win the Pencarrow Handicap from Bayfort and Aliss Bairnsfatlier. Angell, Cairn Courage, Bayfort, Battle iSpear and Torrent were prominent at the three and it was 'only over the last bit thaj; Broie and kliss Bairnsfathor moved up to take part in the iinish, Broie winning by a length from Bayfort a neclc in front or Miss Bairnsfatlier. Angell was fourth followed by Cairn Courage. Another Good Finish Blank Cheque, Bail'les Eex, Eevivre, Bobby Dazzier, Horouta, Tenor Eoyal and Commercial were prominent early in the Ituapehu Handicap, and Eevivre, Bobby Dazzier and Gyration were in front at the five. Meteorina had worked to the front a furlong from home and then Pimlico dashed up on the outer. Meteorina stuck on vory gamely but was beaten by half a length. Horouta, not well placed at the turn, linished well for third a neck away from Meteorina. Baffles Eex was fourth and Lady Vite was iifth. Ladyship Just Beat Majesty Majesty was favourite for the open sprint and he made a gallant bid for victory. Blue Trout, Morocco, Niloch, King of Quiz, Ladyship, Irish Note and ypecialist were prominent on to the course proper, and two furloiigs from. home .Majesty began his . run on the .outer. A furlong t'rom home Ladyship had cbarge and, hard ridden, she hung on long enough to beat Majesty by half a head. Castlebrae linished well for third three lengths away and next home were Morocco, Cressida and Brown Derby. Ladyship is by Foxbridge from Foreign Queen and she races in the colours of H.H. The Maharaja of Kashmir. Kartikeya Finished Well Kartikeya gave Eiccarton stables their third suecess when he won the Anniversary Handicap.
