Transcript slaying on the better in. Jm straight. In the second division Ko.'al Counsellor, who was bracketed with 1 1 runscript, made a good effort Io bring off tin. double, but after being with Midmn Star out in front all the way they both weakened sufficiently to let !■ oxcalcher " u on Hie post, with Royal Counsellor gniug wav to Midian Star for second. Gamble owed a good deal ot his win in the Hlghweight lo the riding ot A. Jeu kins who got him out first then settled down close to the lead, and sending him to Hie front again at tiie bait held oil t beat the unlucky topweight Lord Ca ' Ll * dish narrowly after the latter bad lose ground entering the straight! Hikoraiigl was a fair third clear ot the others. Well handicu out in LrvUt b> jV. t . Ellis, the disappointing Oletu bold on well at the finish of the back seven to hold off the fancied Frustration, le Awe Awe always well placed was n third with Suowiuau unable to do better than fourth. Snowman got into some bother in the straight. . The lightweight. Imperium nearly slo e Hie race for the Pahiatua Lup, getting onfirst .Mowing down the field early, and coming home solidly from the me tur longs? Be thus bad all in trouble bar the lonweiglit, Arctic Dawn, and only the vl = - Lrous horeemanshlp ot IV. 1 • ™is got him home by the barest mu r =’ “• Crown was a poor third, then Aletliea, who had every chance, Colonel Bol<J> showed Ills usual pace to lead the juvenile Held throughout and staying a bit better was able to stall oft a strong challenge by Hurry Home, binaiicia was a poor third just beating Lady Nahleei. and then Keite He, who hung badly on Hie Kuonjj pis fourth win for the day’ on Daljarroek in the open seven. It was a good performance as Daljarroek was not too well placed early, but patiently handled he swooped down on Duality tn the straight after the latter had taken mu from the leaders, and after a veiy bi icu strujrcle Daljarroek drew out to win goIng away. Duality finally only just lasted long enough to head the fast-finishing Poiiiplt for second. Pompit failed to get going early and had a lot of ground to make up. He looked very unlucky. An outstanding feat of horsemanship by IV. .1. Broughton—one ot the best of ms whole career—landed Alchemy a narrow and somewhat fortunate winner ot the hack distance event. Out in front early. Alchemy then allowed Condole to lead him to tiie straight. Here, just as tavern Light and Gynerio had ranged up on outer of the leader, Condole edged away a little from this fence. Il was a bare chance, but Broughton was game enough Cor it. and riding vigorously he siiiieezeu through to snatch the prize from Tavern Light and Condole in an exciting linisli. An outstanding surprise eveiitualed in the last race. Ngamatea, at win. odds oi nearly a century and a half, scoring Irom Spirit and Singapore. Ngamatea, who was having her second start of the day, was alwavs handy and taking charge In the straight held on long enough to stall off Spirit. Spirit would have won with any luck, being a long way back early, and coming on the seen; too lute. Details Of The Racing Maidi»n Race, of £l2O. Weight 5..».
