TRENTHAM RACES

SPRING MEETING

ASTERIAS WINS WELLESLEY STAKES

BIG HANDICAP WON BY AN OUTSIDER

Saturday's genial weather resulted in a very largo attendance at the Wellington Racing Club's Spring Meeting, the special trains from . the city, to Trentham being crowded'. Tho visitors included several Ministers of the Crown and prominent sportsmen from all parts of the Dominion. The club's good fortune did not end with the weather and tho attendance, for the Spring Selling Plato brought .a satisfactory return to the race fund, and the totalisator returns, which amounted to £28,675 10s., exceeded the figures for the first day of the last spring meeting by £3068 10s. On account of the fact that the racing had to be carried on on very hard going, one or two of the visiting horses were withdrawn from their engagements, while some of the starters, finding the flinty surface rather severe on thoir legs, pulled up, very lame. , Principal interest centred in tho Wellington : Handicap, for which • seventeen starters went to the post. The withdrawals were Undecided, who broke, down on Friday, George, whoso leg filled the same day, and -Bleriot, whoso trainer would run no risk with the Soult mare. Backers were all abroad in this event, for the three placed horses were rank outsiders, while the favourite, Tannhauser, finished no nearer than seventh. Sir Knox, who has long held a reputation for tailing the field in the early stages of his races, surprised everyone by commencing smartly, and leading from start to finish. T. Pritchard, who had the mount, was given an ovation for his handling of the chestnut horse. Ringform's second, after her recent failure in Sydney, would seem to lend colour, to the theory that Australian form is a grade higher than that in the Dominion. Before long, however, the form in Saturday's race may- be proved quite wrong, • because the running was spoiled' by a poor start. Maniaroa, Moutoa Girl, and Haskayne ivero turned the wrong way when the tapes were released; and the two latter were in a hopeless tangle. < They, might as well have been carrying lOst. apiece for all 'the chance they had after that. It was unfortunate'for. backers of Haskayne as the bay: gelding, although a trifle sore, looked as' well, as ever ho has done. Rene suffered in a less degree at the start, while' Birkful, who .finished- well,' had a bad passage right through the race. Floweret (San Francisco—Kirriemuir) and Hyla (sister to Hymettius) were withdrawn >from the" Wellesley -Stakes, and will be started in? tho 1 Juvenile Handicap to-day. Both are spoken of aB brilliant fillies, bub very "green." When Asterias got up on tho post, and defeated Battle Eve by a head on Sat urday, many considered that the Martian colt was unfortunate 'in being

beaten in faster time than had previously been recorded in the race, at Trentham. In real truth, Asterias would have, been unlucky to have been beaten, because, after being first away, ho lost his position, and had to-put-in.his-run on tho outside',' Be "fairly'flew in the last few strides, when he caught Bight of Battle Eve, ' and it is evident that his condition—he was taken in hand when six months old—has stood to him in his last couple of races. He will he shipped to Christchurcli to-morrow night to compete in the Welcome Stakes on November 7 Among the beaten two-year-olds whose looks excited favourable comment on Saturday wero Desert Gold and Interlude (half-sister to Peroneal). Beldame and Postillion were the popular fancies in the Shorts Handicap, but -they were .both beaten by Sauci, who. had evidently-been'sharpened up by the racing ,at Dunedin. Peronilla gave a deal of. trouble at .the start of this race,, and, prior, to being shifted to the outside of the: field, she wa-s biting at everything within reach. 'B. Deeley, rider of Sauci, had one of his legs marked by the mare's teeth. during this time.' • y •

Multiply won the Wainui Handicap by -the narrowest 1 of i margins, but he came at tho right ;ehd, and was so little distressed; after, his .victory that he gained many more friends for the New Zealand' Cup, to be run next Saturday week. He would have been a warm favourite at Trentham but for a prevailing idea' that he was not partial to such hard- going. He incurs no

penalty for his win. ■ Tho Pole won the Hack Steeplechaso even more easily than many thought he would. His jockey was so confident of.victory that he kept the San Remo gelding near ; the centre of his fences the whole way., and gave him no chance of - running oft. He was raised 141b. for his victory, but did not. make tho acceptance for to-day's race. Thrco falls on Saturday were without injurious results to the jockeys, but the horse Blend broke his ehouide? and had to be destroyed. In the Jlimutaka Handicap, the favourite, Montana, who jumped away first, V;as too small to hold nis position in the big field, end the. event .was won by Kaminohe, wlio •is improving with every race. • • Mowbray easily won the Spring Selling Plate, and was afterwards sold to Mr. A. Rore, of Blenheim, for 971 guineas, tho surplus (after deducting CO sovs.) being eqi-ally divided between Mr. M.' M. Ellerton (owner of the second horse) and the Race Fund. In the' Final Scurry Handicap, the public pronounced in favour of the bracketed pair, Chakwana and Miraculous. The former, it was generally expected, would accomplish the feat of winning, -but she was in want of a race, and was beaten out of a placo. The locally-owned Columbus, in the hands of 0. Emerson, won rather easilv from the second favourite, Lady Black.
