BIG DIVIDENDS

Butsiders at Trentham RED MANFRED’S CLUB HANDICAP Sprint Won By Rerepai TOTALISATOR DECREASE (By '-The Watcher.”) < Rain marred the second day of the Wellington Racing Club’s summer meeting at Trentham yesterday, and was also largely responsible for the success of outsiders in concluding events ou the programme. The win dividends alone totalled over- .the century. This and the weather effectively settled any prospect of a successful day, and in addition to the disasters of backers, the club was faced at the end of the day with a decrease of £7855, the turnover being £2(5,160/10/-, against £34,021/10/- on the corresponding day last year. Red Manfred, a warm favourite, scored an all-the-way win in the Racing Club Handicap, which was the first event to be run in the rain, and an outsider and fresh horse in Rerepai was successful in the Metropolitan Handicap.- The Douro Cup was won by Miss Hushabye, wlio shades with Orby’s Last the distinction of being one of the longest-priced winners that have come home at Trentham for some time. Superstitious people will see something ' in the fact that the .last two winners. Rerepai and Miss Hushabye, who paid substantial dividends, both carried No. 13 saddlecloth, i'll is is a most unusual occurrence on any racecourse. The weather to start was fine but overcast, and the temperature mild. A boisterous westerly wind, however, was very much in evidence, and half-way through the programme brought up heavy driving rain. The going, fast to commence with, grew sloppy toward the end, and though it was never bad, it favoured horses that like such ground. The inquiry into the interference met with by Diatomous and Princess Doreen in the Telegraph Handicap the first day was concluded. The stewards found that the sudden turning out from the rails of Lucidus'had not been satisfactorily explained. but there was not sufficient evidence to justify any conclusion that it was other than-accidental. There was a fair attendance for an off day. but when the rain came many people returned home. . Improved Form. The bigbweigbt, run over anc extra quarter of a mile, saw a decided improvement in the form of Palatinate, and he scored an easy victory after being prominent throughout. Verden made the running from Palatinate, Royal Papa, Revision and ,Umpire, Bold Jim getting left through refusal to face the barrier. Verden Idsted : to the straight, where- Palatinate '• took sole cliarge and ran on to; win . without''any serious opposition... Hot Stuff came through from the rear to take second place from Royal Papa, who, howeyej’U ~ was "finishing•' "oh again with Umpire' fourth, followed by Revision, Verden and Ilaere Tonu. The winner' shgred favouritism with Bold Jim, so that it whs obvious his improved form was not unexpected. Taken all round they were a very moderate lot. Hostis Comfortably. The Trial Plate saw Hostis, with-D, J. Kilis up. share favouritism with Stale Bank. He was always in a good position, and at the finish won comfortably. ■ The running was made by State Bank and Wahine Nui, from Pukeko, Host's.

Jubilee Song, and a little later Darecourt moved up into a prominent position. Once in line Hostis moved forward aad soon put the issue beyond doubt, while Darecourt enme on the outer to cut Jubilee Song out of second very narrowly, with State Bank a fair fourth. The bunch was further back, headed by. Confiscation and Baek Thrust. Vinco, having his first race, was so inexperienced as to stand and watch the others go away, although he subsequently chased the field. The winner is the first of the stock of the Derby winner, Honour, to win. He has shown promise in all his races this season, and with time promises to become a very useful horse. He comes of an exceptionally good family, being closely related on the maternal side to Sun Glow, Boniform and Martian.

Cherry King Again.

Cherry King improved with his race the first day to win handily in the January Handicap.

He was always well placed, the running being made by Great Star from Princess Doreen and Cherry King, Sam Smith, Kamal Pasha, and Some Shamble, and later Lucidus being most prominent of the bunch. Princess Doreen and Cherry King passed Great Star entering the straight, and it was not long before Cherry King asserted superiority. Guarantee then swept up with a strong run from the rear, and despite running about a lot he was able to catch the tiring Princess Doreen and beat her for second, but Cherry King was never in danger. Lucidus was fourth, followed by Some Shamble, Sam Smith, and Great Star. Cherry King won nicely, and it is clear that his best form is always shown after one gallop at a meeting. Guarantee, always a slow beginner, was putting in some good work at the finish. Princess Doreeri had every chance, but does not stay. Lucidus lost ground through dwelling at the start, and was possibly a bit unlucky, but Sam Smith, who was the favourite, bad every chance. Backers Meet Reverse. A. big surprise was brought off by Orby’s Last in the hack sprint, in which the hot favourite, Limulus, finished last. Acceptable and Abbey Feale led to the straight with Capital,' Tunneller, Travenua, Epris, and Orby’s Last at the head of the bunch. Capital took charge from the false rail! and looked like the winner at the last furlong, but Orby’s Last wore him down to win narrowly but decisively. Acceptable was a fair third, with Tunneller fourth, followed by Travenna, Aussie Ra, Epris, and "Silly Owl. The winner's form is very inconsistent, but on his day he is a good galloper. Capital, with Ellis up. showed the expected improvement, but he had every chance. Acceptable put up a good performance, but was not good enough. Tunneller improved slightly, which he appears to do as a meeting progresses. .None of the others had ajiy chance. Limulus found her 8.13 beyond her. There was a long delay at the post, the field giving a lot of trouble, and possibly this upset her, especially as she received a lot of bumping.

Won All the Way. The Racing Club Handicap proved a good thing for the favourite, Red Manfred. He led all the way, and running on without serious opposition in the straight, scored by a good margin' from Silver Sight, who held on to beat Gay; Marigold, who had lain on in the rear earjy in the race; Tout Je . Monde was fourth, lied Sun fifth, and the other three well back. It was a poor contest for a good stake, and ..Red Manfred .had no. serious opposition. He improved with his race the first day, and also appreciated the lesser distance. Gay Marigold again tailed the field until the concluding half-mile. Favourites Beaten. The favourites, Severe and Pakanui, were soundly beaten in the two-year-old race. They were both prominent early with Alchemic, and Alchemic took charge from Pakanui at the false rail. Over the concluding stages, however, Kotou came ■with a strong rift, and in a battling finish wore down Alchemic to beat him by half a neck. Nigbtlass was a very poor third.

with Severe fourth, followed by Debham and Pakanui. They were a moderate lot, but Kota is a solid filly.

Racing in the Rain.

The Metropolitan Handicap was run in blinding rain, ami it was impossible to distinguish colours until they were well in the straight. However, I am indebted to L. G. Morris, the rider ot Golden Wings, for a description of the early stages. Namakia, Diatomous, Rerepai. Mother Superior, Burnish and Golden Wings all began well. Namakia and Rerepai with' Mother Superior and Diatomous led on to the course proper, where Star Artist made a forward move and Diatomous began to fade. A little later Golden Wings was weakening, and entering the'straight Mother Superior and Rerepai began to draw away. The finish lay between this pair, and at the final furlong Rerepai asserted superiority to win handily. Wheriko, who had again tailed the field to the straight, came through for a moderate third from Burnish, and then came Cottesmore. Star Artist, Golden Wings and Variant.

Rerepai, a fresh horse, looked exceptionally well, and while his light weight enabled him to run on- in the sloppy ground, lie would have been hard to beat under any conditions. Mother Superior was always dangerous and ran a good race, while Wheriko. who looked improved with his first day's gallop, was again finishing strongly, but this, time was not within striking distance. Burnish showed improved form again, but none of the others had any chance over the concluding' stages. Diatomous had conditions all against him, and so did Silver Streak, who finished second to last. Outsider to Finish. A disastrous day for backers ended in another big surprise when Miss Hushabye, at very long odds, took the Douro 011)1. She not only won, but won as she like']. It was a one-horse race. "Miss Hushabye was not very prominent early, but she had run up fairly handy before leaving the nack stretch, the pace being made by Palm from Courtega and Cyclonic, with the bunch headed by Knockout, Miss Hushabye, Poniard, Hunting Bag. and Quite Soon. Palm still led entering the straight, where Miss Hushabye was running past Courtega and Cyclonic, but once in line Miss Hushabye ran ou and put a big margin on her opponents, winning by eight to ten lengths. There was a fine finish for the minpr places. Cyclonic being buried by a late -rush from Knockout, Red Rufus, and Fersen. Cyclonic was next, and the rest well away. Nothing bad a chance with the winner, who revelled in the slush. Cyclonic was probably. unlucky to lose second, as he was badly interfered with just inside the false rail by the rolling of the beaten Courtega; in fact, he was nearly knocked down. Miss Hushabye made the second successive win for No. 13 saddlecloth. Details of the Racing MUNGAROA HIGHWEIGHT HANDICAP, ot £200; second £4O, third £2O. One mile and a quarter. 2/1 S G.
