Hack Hurdles, and thus improved her lnsb\ i year's record, when bliq was first anc. third) in the two hurdlo rac6s. llookby, who had. j not raced for two years, jumped splendidly" and pulled up quite sound. Kareroa waß I submitted to auction after winning the Grand-1 stand Handicap, but the best oiler was 220: guineas, aild as this was IUO guineas short <■ of'the rcservj he was passed in. The terrific; pace set by Wlictumamma demoralised t-lio,' lield in the Pa.il Memorial Handicap, and' the Advance gelding won by a good margin • at the finish. The official time for the n»lo< and a distance was given as linin. 57 l-sscc. t | but several private watches made it limn.. Gosec., which is almost as good as the record , established by Do la ltey in pamaru four years agn. Hatch appeared 16 rido rather too \ confidently on PerOlmn in the Second Welter' Handicap, and Waihuka, who is well at tho* present time, got up in the last stride and' mado a deid-lieat of it. There was a heavy commission on the course tor the Aucklandhorse Frcevata in the Kawau Hack, and ho Won ris ho likod. Ho is without doubt a high-class galloper, and should make a useful jumper later oil. Before the first race this morning tho stewards met and hold nil inquiry into Moriarty's running: in tho Flying Handicap yesterday, and tho outcome of it was that tho jockey, Harry Price, was cautioned, and ! warned that no would' bo watched in to-day's events. Moriarty ran unplaced in tho Grandstand Handicap Unlay, but Hatch, being substituted for Price in tho Farewell Handicap, the Merrittco gelding hopped out first? and led all, tho way. Tho stewards, afterholding another meeting, docidcd to pay ontf oil Moriarty, but to adjourn tho inquiry till a later date. Probably the chango of horse* men made all the difference in tho running. 11. Price is generally considered a good, honest boy, but is rather nervous, and if his mount is not- first away ho always hesitates about talcing risks in the matter of coming 1 through his field. Hatch, on tho other hand, takes rather many risks, though ho wiu» ma.ny races by so doing. TRAINING! AT OPAKI.
