Bay Robe Led Always In Big Hurdles At Awapuni

The Manawatu Winter meeting was opened under perfect conditiojis ancl there was very good racing and many close finishes: The course, gieasy early after a frost, improved as, the day progressed, and the going was really good. There was a' large att'endance ahd the totalisator turnover was £61,378 10s, compared with £61,763 on the first day last year. Se.veral horses fell during the running of the first race and L. Wagner, rider oi Kelmont, sustained a cut hand, R. Hewitt, rider of Valued, had a collarbone brpken, and D. Collins, rider of Christopher Wren, sustained an injury to a hip.

Tremello and High Or&ei again lougdt out the tinisli of the Manawatu Winter Ciip and the result was just hs it was last year, Tremello winning narrowly from High Order. On Saturday High Order headed Tremello soon after tkey had turned into the straigkt but W. J. Broughton, on High Order, knew the real iiglit was still to come. Before Tremello mailb his last brilliant bid, Broughton asked High Order for anotlier effort. He responded well, but K. R. Pord drove Tremello through to win by a sliort neck. Audacious looked likely a furlong from home but the other two drew away from her and Hormuz, fiiiisking wilk a very fast run, got up to beat her for tliird two leugtks away from High Order. fcjari was lifth follovved by Einerge, Morotai, Foxella, Peter Tlieio and Sparkling Lady. Peter Theio was the early leader from High Order, Foxella, and Aggra vation, and Nighthena, Emerge and Tremello wero in close attendance as the iield turned out of the straight. Tremello and Foxella were in front at the six, and Tremello, High Order, Precedency, Audacious, Emerge, , Aggra vation, Foxella and Alorotai was the order as they raced to tlic home tuni. Master Raymond Beats Result Kesult iooked to have the Ruahine Hurdles won wheu he flew the last feuce to establish a two-length lead, but Aiaster Kaymond iiuished brilliautly and, aithough Kesult responded to meet the challenge, he was beaten by a nose. Beau Jewel Iiuished well for tliird and next in order were. Miss Sterling, Oanges, Tudor Chief, Middoon and The Crofter. General Saleve rau off at the secoad fence and Valued and Redfort fell at the next. Kelmont came to grief at the fourtli fence and Christopher Wren at the next. Tliis left The Crofter aua liosult in front with Miss Sterliug, Tudor Chief, Muster Raymond, Cramoud Bay and Beau Jewel following. After tue last fence Master Raymoml moved up to ligkt the linish with Kesult. Valchase, Lord Croupier and Royal Glimpse The Maiden Kaeo was run in tliree divisions and the fii'SFVwa^ won by Yulchase, from Bonia, Battle Strife and Lord Maunu. ' Sonia ancl Philanderer led into the straight from Valchase, Silver Mascot and Lord Maunu, and Philanderer fell on the home tum. Valchase soon put the issue beyond doubt and she- Avojt. uicely/by a length from Sonia twp. lengths in front of Battle Strife. In the second division Burnous led into the .

J ' j Koyal Glimpse, wliich was braeketed with yonia, second iu the first division, won the tliird division after being in front alJ the wuy. The order into Ihe straight was Koyal Glimpse, from !5alphos, Taujeen, Giggie and Platamon, whicli had lost ground at the start. Koyal Glimpse was never threatened in the run home and he won by two lengths from Giggie lialf a length in front. of Tanjeen. Malphos was close up fourili. Gleufayle Won Convincingly" Gleuf'ayle gave a grand exhibition of fast jumpiug and he had the steeplechase won a loug way from home. Vernon was second and his cliances of success faded when he liooked a fence three furlongs from home. Primordial was tliird and Tight Line was next. / Oeino blundered at Ihe lirst fence and

lost his rider and the early leader was Moreton Bay whicli was fifty yards out in front and going well after they had covered a inile. Over the stand double the second time Glen'fayle was not far away from the leader and he headed liirn at the sod wai! about seven furlongs from home. Gleufayle soon opened up a gap on the others, and Primordial and Vernon tried to foot it with him. Vernon lieaded Primordial before they reached the last fence but .Gleufayle was never iu danger and he ' ' coasted ' ' home an etisy winner to pay a double-iigure win dividend. Mangatiti Finished Smoothly After being in teuth place after the lieid had setrled down, and still not in the call at the lioino tuni, Mangatiti Iiuished very smoothiv to win the »Suburban Ilandicap by two lengtns from (Jlare 's Pai whicli, vvith Gahvay Bay, had been responsible for niost of the pace.

Bpiro was lifth and ^tlbino was next. Peria Prince, when running in third place, fell at the third fence and Koyal Kward went down o\ er him.

Trafalgar ,.pay led early, but running to the hail-iuile Peter Theio Jiad taken over ajid .he led into the straight followed by Trafalgar Day, Piayboy, Zeaiander -and . Gay Corrie and Playtos.
