OUTSIDERS SCORE

Final Day at Trentham CUDDLE WINS SUMMER HANDICAP Sprint to Princess Doreen GOOD TOTALISATOR RECOVERY (By “The Watcher.”) Favourites had a disastrous day at Trentham on Saturday, the third and concluding day of the Wellington Racing Club's summer meeting, only one, Cuddle, was successful, and while there was no surprise such as occurred on Thursday, all winners were at good prices. Cuddle's win was in the principal event, the Summer Handicap, and it was very easily achieved. The sprint was won by Princess Doreen and the open mile by Aiguille. Two of the races were won by fresh horses in Sunny Maid and Lapel. An interesting win was that of Heritage in the two-year-old race. The fact that the opposition proved very moderate does not detract from a fine effort by this well-bred colt, who is likely to be one of the top line juveniles by the end of the season. The weather was fine and sunny, but there was a fresh westerly breeze, which caused some trouble to spectators in regard to their hats, and chases after headgear by both men and women were frequent. The track was in first-class order and fast, and despite the failure of the favourites the large attenlance of the public was in betting mood, end at the end of the day the turnover had reached £41.920 10/ : (win £18,831. place £23,098/10/-), an increase of £9508/10/- on the corresponding day last year. The total for the meeting was £112,448/10/-, compared with £110,036/10/- last January, an increase of £2412. This is very satisfactory and an indication of what might have been but for the rain on Thursday. Trentham deservedly retains its popularity, and this meeting, with its punctuality to schedule,'smooth and efficient management. sets a new mark to the already high standard set at Wellington headquarters. The only unfortunate incident of the meeting occurred on Saturday, when, in the second race, the Kaitoke Handicap, Cup Bearer, ridden by H. Mackinnon. fell in the straight, and Mackinnon. while lying on- the ground, was struck by another runner. He received injuries from which he subsequently died in the Wellington Hospital. Haere Tonu Surprises. An outsider in Haere Tonu scored decisively in the highweight. improving considerably on his form earlier at the meeting. However, he had a change of riders to D. O'Connor, which no doubt was resimnsible for a good deal of the improvement. O'Connor rode him very confidently, taking him to the front over half a mile from home. Royal Rapa and Palatinate challenged in the straight, but never looked like getting the winner. Royal Papa ran on much better than Palatinate. Sir Spear was fourth, and was followed by Umpire and Bold Jim. The winner recently changed stables, and although he has been showing improvement, the high hopes held of him earlier in jiis career do not look like materialising. He had nothing in hand at the finish, to stall off his challengers, and the class was moderate. Favourite Fails. The hack scurry saw a hot favourite in Beau Gallante never'dangerous.

Sunny Maid led all the way, and the nearest attendants to the straight were Abbey Feale, Emissary, Acceptable, and Cup Bearer. Sunny Maid drew away in the straight, and won comfortably, while Emissary just held on for second from Capital, who came with a late run on the rails. Brown Betty was a moderate fourth, and then came Beau Gallante, Abbey Feale, and Harvest Moon. The top-weight drew No. 1, and got away well, but the race the first day apparently got to the bottom of him. lhe winner put up a smart performance. She runs in the same colours. as Cuddle, and coming from a solid family, she may go on to better things. Emissary ran right to form, but it is unfortunate for him that he should have reached such a weight without winning much money. Capital rau a good race, and should not be long in winning. Brown Betty is improving. Heritage Shows Class. Bun Fight and Fulojoy were the only two-year-olds at all well backed in the Hopeful Stakes, but they ran badly, finishing second to last and last respectively. Alchemic, Heritage and Pakanui began best, but once tn the straight, Heritage, who had come from the outer, ran on to show his opponents a clear pair of heels. Alchemic failing to withstand a late challenge by 11 Duce, who got up on the post, with Penelope fourth and Pakanui next. . • , ~ Heritage, who was having only his second race, his first start having been on Tuesday, benefited by the outing and was a winner all the way. He outclassed his opponents, whit'h is not surprising on his breeding, and he looks like going on to really good form. The favourites were very disappointing. Lapel Wins in Close Finish. The favourites again failed in the hack seven, which was won narrowly by Lapel from Wino. Wino was always prominent and was. the pacemaker with Colossian, Travenna, and-Jubilee Song to the straight with Lapel in behind, accompanied by State Bank and Tunneller. Once in line Lapel and Wino drew away, the former just keeping his head in front. Aussie Ra, who was second favourite, lost a good position in the first two furlongs, but came on again into third place with Jubilee Song fourth, followed by Purse, Sunee and Raparahara. Lapel’s victory may have been largely due to B. H. Morris, but at the same time he is a greatly improved hack. Wino had every chance, but Aussie Ra was possibly a little bit unlucky. On the other hand there did not appear to be any excuses for Tunneller. Cuddle’s Easy Win. Cuddle ran away with the Summer Handicap, giving nothing else a chance. Red Manfred made the pace from Cuddle and Fracas, the field soon stringing out. Cuddle went to the front on the turn and just ran away from her opponents in the straight. Fracas passed Red Manfred at the false rail, but she weakened again at the finish, and .Red Manfred held on to beat her comfortably for second, with Red Suu fourth, followed by Sam Smith, Some Shamble Great Star and Golden Wings last. It was the best of good things for Cuddle. Fracas was a trifle unlucky in getting squeezed out at the start and having to be used up early in a fast run race but while it possibly cost her second money she would never have beaten the winner, who won running away and easing up. Aiguille at Double Figures. The open class mile resulted in a surprise when Aiguille, who had been well back in the early running, swept up to take charge in the straight and win decisively. None of the early leaders did any good, Aiguille, Salt Spray, and Cherry King all coming from the back. Cherry King in particular having to make up a considerable amount of ground. He finished well, but while he just failed to catch Salt Spray, it did not look as if he could have l>eaten the winner. At various stages Guarantee, Kamal Pasha, Cyclonic, Quite Soon, and Lucidus all flattered

their supporters, but they were well back at the finish. Princess Doreen Consistent. Princess Doreen scored a runaway win in the City Handicap, the favourites, Diatomous and Autopay never having any chance over the concluding stages. Diatomous and Cottesmore began best, and with Princess Doreen and Star Artist in behind, were still in front at the false rail. Here Princess Doreen took charge, and ran away for an easy win, Star Artist just hanging on to beat Silver Streak, with Rerepai fourth, and the two favourites tailing the field. Nothing had a chance with the winner over the last two furlongs. Diatomous failed to reveal any dash in the straight, and Autopay was always struggling. Dead Heat in Last. A disastrous day for the favourites ended in the first choice. Knock Out, finishing only sixth in the Kelburn Handicap. She was last at the five furlongs, but finished well. Cardinal Moon, Heather Glow, Courtega, Darccourt, and Grand Blow comprised the leading bunch. Moonbeam, from No. 1, getting squeezed back in the first two furlongs. Round Score and Quite Soon were also slow to begin.. Dareeourt and Courtega were doing best of the leaders entering the straight, and Dareeourt came on the better of this pair, but over the final hundred yards Round Score and Quite Soon swept up. and running over Dareeourt, could not be separated by the judge. Courtega was fourth, followed by Poniard and Knock Out, who were clear of the bunch. Quite Soon, who had started in the open mile earlier in the day, revealed his true form. Round Score, who carried lslb. over to secure R. Reed, also ran better, and looked unlucky. Dareeourt is improving, and might have been harder had she not been in a hurry to run round the leaders to the front. Knock Out and Moonbeam got bad passages.
