TRENTHAM RACES

SUPER MEETING ' PAVLOVA WINS THE CUP IN " '..-/..-.RECORD TIME TELEGRAPH HANDICAP RANK OUTSIDER'S VICTORY Yesterday's attendance at the Wellington Racing Club's' Summer Meeting at Trentham was probably as large as on any previous occasion. The weather , was beautifully line, and a special attraction was-the march past of the soldiers encamped at the rifle '■ range in training for aotive service. The troops were afterwards entertained at luncheon by the club, and given access to all parts of the course. Among the visitors present at the meeting were the Prime Minister (the Right Hon. W. i'V Massey) and "-other Ministers of the Crown, the Chief of the General Staff (Lieutenant-Colonel C. M. Gibbon), the President, of the Racing Conference (Sir i Geo. Clifford), and prominent poli- • tioians, and sports from all parts of the Dominion. The grounds and the racing track were in excellent order, and . the racing was carried on under the most favourable conditions, fast timeß and keen finishes' being the order of the day. \ The- new sprint tracks were used for the first time, and the general opinion is that they make for much better racing; over short distances. Speculation on the totalisator was esceed- • ingly brisk, and during the day a total sum of £40,614 10s. passed through the machine, as compared with £31,429 on the. first day of the last summer meeting. ' ' ■ '• _' ■ ' '-,■'.. When, the machine closed in. the ' Trentham Welter Handicap, Blackall was a better favourite than Prince Laddo and Jem, the outsider of the "field being Fashion Plato, who finished lasVand pulled up lame. A good start was effected,' Jem and Blackall being • allowed to drop in behind the other candidates in the early stages of the race. Deeley moved up on Jem earlier than did Berry on Blackall, and. as the straight was entered Jem stole a march on" the favourite, and gained a lead which Blackall was unable to reduce before the post was reached. Jem has now won four races in his last four starts. Nones was a pronounced favourite for Handicap, but she was unable to concedo 291b. to the locallyowned Taringamutu, who beat her'by a length at tho finish. Taringamutu has always been known as a very fast filly, but she has been uncertain at the barrier, and failure to begin well robbed her of two victories at the recent Tauherenikau meeting. Yesterday' she jumped away well, and gave undoubted proof of her pace by running the five furlongs in very fast time. The southern" light-weight, C. Sinclair, who had the mount, was only engaged,an hour before the race, owing to w. O'Halloran being unable to ride the weight. Contrary to general expectations , Banksia and Austin both carried more money on the totalisator than did Square Deal, on whom S. Reid had the _• mount. Banksia did not meet with the ,'■'. best fortune during the runhing of I the raw,,for,after t getting away slowly • and runnmg up into'third place, she I had to be content with outside running - at the home turn and could only finish third-to Square Deal and Stepney, who both got through on the rails. Austin scarcely justified the. support accorded , him, but Crown Pearl and Briar Patch both ran good,races.'' Croesus ran the first three furlongs of the Trial Plate in 37seo. That was sufficient to settle the chances of LaL doguer, who endeavoured to keep up i with the son of Royal Fusilier, and it ' was altogether too fast a pace for the other candidates in the race, who were never able to so much as dispute the t» issue with Croesus". The latter was S> one of the greatest favourites ever known at Trentham, .and he never gave J ■ his numerous backers the slightest anxiety. At the present time he is generally regarded as one of the most promising horses in commission in the Dominion, and he is bred well enough to great deeds on the Tnrf, hailing, as he does, from the same family as Aurum, Golden Slipner, and many other , good ones. • ' Kooya was the only withdrawal from the Wellington Cup field, thirteen Jg horses being left to go to the post. Injg digo carried more thin twice as muoh f e money as the second favourite, Byron, ik the only ' others that, were backed to ry anything like the same extent bein<» x. Ladoga and Kilrain.- When tho tapes j>y were released, Marshal M'Donald was ? e turned the,wrong way. He was left [* over-one hundred' yards and as his j chance was then a hopeless one he was m pulled- up after going a couple of fur--60 wngs. Peg was first to show out, but efc Ogier quickly took up the running and ut set a very warm pace. Ladoga, Peg, if and Indigo were his nearest attendants in the early stages, but Peg was done with after going six furlongs. Ladoga and Indigo - still continued to . ; follow Ogier closely, and at the ,'fiveV furlong post Pavlova moved up along- •> side the leader.' In another furlong Ladoga commenced to tire and at the home bend Ogier found the pace too hot to continue. Pavlova and Indigo were, however, fit enough to dispute . every inch of ground in the straight, and a splendid finish ensued between the pair. They; passed the judge's-box "" locked together and few.were prepared to_ name the winner until the judge hoisted Pavlova's number above that of Indigo, the official verdict being half a head. Fair Rosamond, who was not prominent in the early stages of the race, finished in third position threequarters of a length : behind Indigo, while Ogier, who had been responsible for the killing pace, had to be content _ with the fourth position. The time for bl the race was the fastest in the history 1 of New Zealand for a mile and a half |, race. The first two furlongs were left 1 behind in 25 3-ssec., six furlongs in I l m in. 15sec., one mile in lmih. 40 I so ssec " and + ' 10 * distance in 2rain. I 82sec.' Tho last mile and a quarter I was covered in the remarkably" good 1 time of 2min. 6 2-ssec. • I Pavlova, who comes of the same | branch.of the No. (6) family as Ele- | vation, Reputation, Stepniak, and 1 ™ an y other great New Zealand performers is owned hv a syndicate, racing under the assumed name of Mr. Marten. The principal member of the svndicate is _ a popular resident of the Rangitikei. who entered the sport as one of the owners of Pavlova. After J -the race member of the Press assembled at the request of the owners of the winner, when the toast of "Mr. Marten" was honoured, speeches appropriate to the occasion being made. The Riiapehu Handicap, the first "sixfur'ong race run over the new course, was won in fast timo hy Gold Soult. tho _ third winner turned out h\ tho Pori- » rua stablo during the afternoon. Am- ,!| her and White and Miraculous led in in. the early stages, and were responsible 16 for the fast pace net. ~ .; Backers made •'TCmperad'or a much bntj t«r favourite than A'ntumnus in the ' 1 Waterloo Stakes.' Both of the onndiB dates named were defeated, by Sauci, 1 who, after commencing slowlv, <?aniß I with a smothering-rmi- at' the fiuisli j £ E *nd won hv a neck. Tlie winner, it will I'l tie rorapmbernd, also created a surpriso J it the Trentham Spring Meeting when „Slhe won tho Shorts Handicap from a

good field, and paid a substantial divi- '. dend. A rank outsider prevailed in the Telegraph Handicap, for which there was a field numbering seventeen starters, Downhani, Beldame, Eimeter, and Belasco were very evenly backed, the first-named being the actual favourite. ; A good deal of delay took place at the etart, and when the tapes were finally released a cloud of dust obscured the winners. The colours of Dinner Gong and Gladiole were first to become prominent, and when ihe course proper was reached Bimeter and Hoy were racing alongside this pair. , Hoy gradually forged ahead on the inside, and when the post, was reached she was a nock in front of Bimeter, the latter being hard' ridden to beat Master Achilles for second place. * Downham and Beldame failed to finish among the first halfdozen. The time for the Tace was the fastest ever recorded in a six-furlong event at Trentham. REBULTS.
