RACING AT TRENTHAM.

CONCLUDING DAY. WINS SUMMER HANDICAP.

AFTER A GREAT RACE.

RECORD TOTALISATGR RETURNS

In brilliant weather,: /a'»(l^beforevi : i very big at'tcndanco, the ' Wollingioit Pv-acing Club's Summer Meeting was brought to a conclusion at. Trcntbnm oil Saturday, and so favourable v.ero tho. conditions on all tlireo' day's;'of tiiO'iix-'; turc that, it proved the most successful .vet held by tlio'ciub. Hie third dav's. totalisat-or investmonts anvountpd.'to £,37,889, or rather more than isOOO'-iu excoss of the figures for tho correspond-.. iiig day of the last Slimmer- faceting/ Tho total for tho tlirpe days - waa' £106,339, as compared with £"100,137 for the three days' in 1913, the onlv' previous 1 occasion-on 1 which the total rail into six figures at a Wellington meeting. Tho increase will result in further' additions to prizo nionev at tho f 'xi January gathering. Onlv three favourites won-during the day,.but apart from that phase of the question- tho sport, was very enjoyable a pleasing feature being the success of Kilrain in tho Summer Handicap, for the public always delight in seeing a good, horso win tho big race under a substantial weight-. Oil Satitrdav the spectators were.not slotv to mark'their appreciation of tho fine performance registered by Kilrain, and the applause that, greeted him was all tho more enthusiastic becauso of the fact that his : form has been so consistent. The racing in the other events left-little'to be desired, and as the track was again in capital order times were fast in ..every case. - . Summer Handicap. Alost of those who saw- Ivilrain go out for tho 1 Wellington Cup were of opinion that he was as lit as any traihor could liave wished. And so, perhaps, lie was, but when he walked into the birdcage prior to contestin| tho Bummer Handicap on Saturday Lowe had hint looking better still: Of the dozen horses' sOnt- to oppose him, three had finished behind him in tho Cup. He was now meeting theso three on far worse terms —Los Angelos 141b. worse, Ladoga 131b. worse, and St. Bees lllb. worse—and he looked well able to bent them again. The 1 public thought so,- and did not hesitate to make tho Kilcher.m horse- a warm favourite. Ho ;dfew an inside position at-the barrier; and was actuallv j first away, but Gray did not bustle him, ancl. some of the'lighter weights were privileged to carry on tho running. Tho : favourite lost his position after-going a couple of furlongs, and there was already talk of his defeat. Gradually he fell right back, atid when at the l;alf-mile post ho was practically at the tail of the field, a victory for him seemed : absolutely out of the. question. He seemed then to hnvo received a couple of bumps;- but those who wero near tlift'turn aver that- Gray carefully avoided trouble, and, after securing his mount a smooth passage, relied on tho horse's groat finishing' run to win him the race. This policy proved a wise ono, tor as soon as heads were, turned for homo Kilrain settled down to his long, swinging stride, and catching his dozen opponents ono after the other, got u>, in tho last couple of strides to win by a head. It- was a splendid performance oil the part of horse and rider, and tho applause which greeted Gray on his return to the enclosure was second only to tho ovation accorded him at Trentkam when ho won tho big handicap on California on the last day of the Winter Meeting of 1910. Gray is now right at the top of his form again, and. after ho had won on Kilrain and Birklino rn Saturday, a gentleman, who has been I associated with tho New Zealand turf sinco tho seventies, expressed ■ ■ tho i opinirin that tho Taranaki horseman ranks with such past-masters as Clifford, Jenkins, and Hewitt. As for Kilrain, it must bo said that his performonco was full of merit-, and on his pre? rent form he is probably the best handi? cap horse in the Dominion to-day. Tlia Consolation Handicap. The feature of tlio Consolation Handicap was the- disappointing performance of Immer, who had been mado a better favourite than Sir Knox. Mr. O'Connor dispatched tho horses to a beautiful start,-'but .Immer was shut out in tho first few strides, and thereafter sho was in all tho trouble that was about,' and finished last. The other eandjclates'all appeared to liavo chancej at different stages, and the finish was just assuming an interesting aspect when Gray brought Birkline up on the out-side, and the. Gisbomo horse strolled pa£t tlio other candidates and won with apparent ease. The unlucky Emperadcr just managed to struggle into second place. City Handicap. Backers made Sir Moseloy and Chudie the .favourites in tho concluding event(City Handicap), for which there .were sixteen starters. Postillion had to bo withdrawn, as he fell'on. tho tracks while being sprinted over a-couplo-of furlongs on Saturday morning. In the start Sir Moselcy and Cliudic gained some advantage, but at tho finish both had to lower their colours to Gipsy Belle, who covered tho six furlong? in remarkably fast time, Chudie, who was a- consistent performer on tlio three days, lasted long enough to gain second money, but Sir Moselcy -was beaten out of a place. The Minor Events, < : . In a. field of sixteen in the Wallacevillo' Welter, Historietto was made.,;.a pronounced: favourite, but sho never flattered her backers, and was no nearer than fifth at the finish. She appears to be only a moderate filly ai. the best, hut sho is .in good condition just now and may . pick up a race when the company is not too select. Square Doa! ran his best raco of the three days, but had no chance with Vocation, -who won comfortably at tlio finish, and whose Tauhcrinikau form ought to have gained him more support-. Birkful and Fair Rosamond were the favourite selections in the 'Melrose Welter Handicap, but .neither gained a place. Birkful never appeared' to be d'angorous, hut Fair Rosamond was pro-,, minent in tho straight, and but for n" bad pa-ssago would certainly have filled a place. Red Book, who was ridden a capital raco by L. Wilson._ won nicely attho finish. The Australian-bml horse was one of tho first away, but- Wilson allowed Mt. Victoria .and Banian to go to the front, and, .when, the former was done with and Banian . commenced to falter, ho brought Red Book .through again. Sanguinary did.not show -up until tho last .furlong, and then finished strongly, in third place, just heading Monologue oil the . post. Another good field of two-rcar-olds went to tho.post'for the Hopeful Stakes, Fabrikoff and Intelligible being • tho favourites. Fabrikolf drew No/1 position at tho-barrier, and with Rencontre was quickest away. Boforo a 1 furlong had been - covered Fabrikoff had established a clear lead, and lm went on to win very easily by three lengths from the Hjghden . candidate La Favourita* who 'finished strongly and just headed Bold Stroke on the. post-. Tho lastnamed should improve with every race, and may soon bo entered on tlio win-; ning list. La. Favourita was tho biggost!. outsider-to pay a dividend at the meet-: incc. She is a half-sister to Clwuvelin',l who raced with, success in Australia.>;=
