DEAD-HEAT IN TIMARU CUP

Dominion Special Service

CHRISTCHURCH, June .25. Tho South Canterbury Jockey Club’s winter meeting at Washdyke yesterday was held in fine weather. In spite of travel restrictions the attendance was considered very satisfactory. Exceptionally heavy rain on Thursday left the track In a heavy state, but the racing was Interesting throughout, the two jumping events specially providing spectacular contests. The sum of £28,158/10/- was handled by the totalizator, compared with £34,185/10/- at lust year’s winter programme, held in April. The Tlmaru Cup attracted a useful field and the pool amounted to £3622. Gamble soon went to the front and. essaying to lead throughout, had to divide honours with Tring. Tring followed him into the straight and soon drew up to him. The pair then settled down to a hard struggle. Gamble always held a slight advantage, but Tring put in a final spurt and the judge declared a dead-heat. The Raker. who failed previously in heavy going, put in a late run to gain third money. The Doncaster Handicap was responsible for another exciting finish. Gulf Stream, who was slow away through moving back when the barrier went up. moved up round the home turn and shortly after the straight was re’ached drew’ to tho front from tho pacemaker. Fur Coat, with Rex Maitland, Sham Boy and Prince Shad also prominent. Gulf Stream seemed to be set for a comfortable win. but had to submit to a late powerful challenge by Prineo Shad, who finished brilliantly on the inside to gain a narrow verdict. Rex Maitland, always one of the leaders, held on for third The Pareorn Hack Steeplechase was full of interest, the nine starters completing the course without mishap. As Required and Force were responsible for a comparatively fast pace over the first circuit, and when Force commenced to tire Spanish Main joined As Required in front with nearly a round to go, and this pair carried on from Donadea. Force, Ballyaggan and Airdrie. Spanish Main drew away going to the List fence, and when he landed over well clear his success seemed Imminent to his supporters, but they reckoned without Ballyaggan. who completed what looked an almost impossible task by getting the leader’s measure a few strides from the post. As Required struggled on tor third. The Tekapo Hurdles was won by the North Island bred Tatting, by Inflation from Embroidery, who had his only previous hurdle race last season.
