Lord Manna Beaten Into Fifth Place

Though Saturday's Hawke's Bay Cup was a tragedy for the baclters of Lorcl Manna it was a fitting reward for Avenger, who f ully deserved his nnexpected win, accompanied by a double-figure dividend. The attendance was good and the totalisator investments amounted to £59,872|, compared with £63,149 last year. Prior to the start Lord Manna, whe sJiowed ari aversion to the stalls, tlirew Ius rider and galloped back to the official enclosure. Takou back he was ailowed to start from the extreme out side, the rogues' pen, and lost a good deal of ground, tailing the field as S auburn and llunting Rua led out of the straight at length mtervals, with Lord Latour, Barrage, Avenger and Dark Flash next. At the half-mile Sunburn and llunting Rua still lield cominand but Avenger had moved up to join them, with Barrage and Lord Latour

) » next and Lord Manna also making a forward move. Then Avenger hiit the front^and had Lord Manna outside him as they swung wide at the straight entrance, almbst two lengths ahead of Sunbnrn and Barrage. Straightening up for the run to the judge Avenger and Sunburn' fought out a stirring finish, Avenger getting the verdict by a nose. Barrage did better than Loyai Bian to get third money, two lengths away, a nose in front of Loyal Bian, with Lord Manna -next . and Hunting Rua sixth.
