KEEN RACING AT OTAKI

Three Winners For Broughton

Keen racing with several close finishes featured the Otakl Maori Racing Club's spring meeting held on Saturday in fine hot weather. The track was firm and fast. There‘was a large attendance and the totalizator investments of £32,122/10/- represented an increase of £10,332/10/- on the spring turnover last year. The champion jockey, W. J. Broughton, rode three winners iu succession, and was very unlucky not to make it four. There was an accident in the a P? n sprint, when Saint Tor fell and caused tne favourite, 'Moutoa Bond, to lose her rider. The jockeys, A. Waddell and J. Garth, escaped injury. In the same race, IV. carter, rider of Parlato, severely injured a foot through striking the running rail. ■ Acrobat, who is now qjvned and trainee! in Otaki, scored a comfortable win in tne hurdles. Race Away led at a great pace, jumping in dashing style, but he was beluir overhauled when he fell at the last fence. At this stage Glaciate, Acrobat, and Henry of Huntingdon w er ® handy to the leader, and they went on to till tne places in the order named, with Vitement taking fourth. The others were alwajfe "The"first maiden race went easily to the Wellington-owned Kaltoa, who was httn to the straight behind Astros, Gambit, Transcript and Ring .Scarf, but da»hed ■past them half-way down the straight to win in convincing style from Po-huka, an outsider who moved up on the turn and ran a promising race. Transcript was a close third with Donegal Bay m. iaain B a good fourth. The favourite, Ring Scarfhad every chance and failed to run on in th Noble al Fox, well ridden by the stable apprentice Carter, secured, the run of the race in the Ling Meiuonal. He trailed Red Dash and Don Quex till they reached the straight, and at the distance he drew on terms with Don Quex and or ® the pacemaker down to win by, a !’ ea<i ’ f J£ aaa t te Pai came on to beat Red Dash for the minor money. The Monarch and Piastre were never likely. Katesbrldge likely nearing the (straight, but. was asked to cover too much ground on the turn. Dallarrock ran on impressively to win the Pahiko Handicap. He soon took charge, and with Theatre set a strong pace to the straight. The pace told on Theatre, but Daljarrock hung on solidly when tackled by Sunblaze and won W half a length. The Whipper was always prominent finished third at doublefigure odds, and Rink was four h Jolly Ruler, who ran a good race all the’ way, was best of the others.

Genghiz Khan, a Tidal maiden showed encouraging improvemeo to sta. on welt for third, a head in trout ot Damask, who also finished well.■ was next. Voltaire was never a possibility. The Champ, looking a picture of fit ness, outclassed a strong field the j a te Ao Handicap. He trailed the leaders to the straight, wb er e he strode to th f?ont with ease and won almost unchal • lArurpcl. It- was impressive form. Gayest Son? finishing with great .dash, took second place narrowly from Enrich,,wh° was witlrthe leading bunch throughout Aug inent was fourth, and Sir Urusoc filth, these two being Prominent ’behind the leaders throughout. Saint <Tor fell and Moutoa Bond lost her rider. . ° Come True won the Champion Hack Handicap from Jonathan Jo, who was unluckv not to get clear until the race waS practically over. He finished full of run* ning into second place, and ."j™,,’ won with a clear passage. Night Ray ana Sir Fox finished next, third place being awarded to Sir Fox, who was wide out and at least a length behind Night Ray at the post. It was an unfortunate error for Night Ray’s backers, as she was e'SbUi favourite on the place machine. Mrst Edition dropped out after being prominent t 0 the straight.
