TARANAKI MEETING

EMINENT TAKES THE CUP

SPRINT TO REFRESHER

(Special From "Hurry On.") • '.'.■'■ NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. ' The-weather was fine and the going was good for the opening day of the Taranaki Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting yesterday. The attendance -was most satisfactory, and the win-and-place system of betting proved more popular than, ever.- . For the day the totalisator. handled £7828 ,15s, as against £5414 10s on the first day last year, which was held in heavy rain, .an increase of £2414 ss. ' .-■',-,■ Mr. Charles Gomer, the recently-ap-pointed 'chairman of the stipendiary stewards, was present and acted in his official capacity for the first time. ,'. ..■■/;• A QUICK RETURN. Easterly, recently purchased by Mr. H.I Edmunds, the owner of Inflation, was always going well in the Waitara Hurdles, and, challenging Riotous in the straight, i beat him Home fairly comfortably, though ■the margin was only a head. Eiotous enjoyedi the run of the race and looked likely when he hit the front at the home bend.- Kimbo led most of the way, but was beaten two furlongs 'from home. luvictus.was;in front with him five furlongs from, h.onie, but hit a fence hard and lost liis place. ' .Royal Keign went well for a little over a mile. Calamine lost her rider at the five furlong hurdle-after lying third until then. ;• -GOLDEN HAIR NICELY.; In the Ngamotu Juvenile Handicap, Clqlden Hair came on the outside m the straight and finished strongly to 'yrin rarrowly. Welcome Lv, showing, plenty of pace, was in front a furlong from the post, but although she hung on well she could not hold off' the winner. ' Merry Way .led most of the way but failed to finish' on under her big weight. ■■: Prince Keno-coyered quite a lot o£. extra ground and finished fourth,; but was only just in front of\.Might, who came home strongly. V Refresher's sprint. ,:.. -.■■■; Hopping,out' smartly from the barrier, Befresher was jn.. front all the "way; in the. flying Handicap, winning rather decisively at the finish. Lady . Quex was his nearest attendant most of the "way, but,'though she challenged at the straight entran«e,: her:, effort ■■-was..-.' short-lived. Golden.Wings- was unlucky. .He lost three or four lengths at the start and was , pocketed at the home, turn, when.he had ] to-, be "taken to the outside. He finished on in good styl4,;but could not Teach tie leader. ' Green Linnet and Royal-Bengal appeared to be. outclassed. . ;'.■ ~ ; t EMINENT'S GOOD. WIN. ■The. Taranaki Cup was ;a .great race, tbe field.being, well bimcned all the way. Eminent/ who -was' well handled by K. [Y>itre> was always handily -placed and came through with a fine run in the straight to win nicely by a,;length from lAga .Khan, who was alongside him nearly, ali.the way and was with' hini: half-way down the home stretch. . Gibraltar was . in; the rear, early, but finished .strongly on the•; outside.' Brambletorn was" sent from last to second in. a; furlong and a • half- down the. back, and -though first . lound the home turn was only plugging along in fourth place at the end. Ilichfield was running on in fifth place. Easter .Time took charge five furlongs from home, and was with Brambletorn!■. at. the top of the straight, but then faded put, coming with a great run from the rear over the last half-mile. '.

Ridliford, scored very decisively in the Dkato Hack Handicap. He hit the front it the turn, and .went on to win by a length. March :■' Alone was out of the leading division-most of the way, but he battled.on.gamely.in the straight for second money. Cereal tried to.win all the way : but tired over the last furlong. The ithers were never really dangerous. . BACK TO OLD FORM. Awaken demonstrated that she is coming, back to her best when.she won the Mimi Higlnveight Handicap, with a fine finishing effort. Tentcall had command at'.the;^distance;' but the winner's challenge'was, too solid. Humiliate was al-ways-well; placed, and made a; creditable showing - in' open ■ company. Glenvane stopped badly - after - leading into the straight. The distance was too far for Arvada. " ;.'.'-..• FAVOURITE UNLUCKY. Hiss' Cavendish toofc the Timaru Hack Handicap in good, style. She: was fourth when they had gone a furlong, but moved up fast three furlongs from home, and, taking charge- at the straight entrance, went on to win by a length. Senegal the favourite, 'was boxed in on the rails most/ of the way, and though he finished well:he could riot reach the winner. King Win covered quite a lot of extra-ground, and did well to finisl^ a close, third. Royal Dash was a good fourth. Headmastur ledfor half a' mile but then faded out. ; RESULTS IN DETAIL.
