DUNEDIN MEETING

GOOD CROWD AT WiHGATUI The rain which fell on Christinas Day may have spoiled the holiday, but it was just what was required at Wingatiii to make the going ideal for the opening of the Dunedin Jockey Club’s Summer Meeting. Everything looked splendidly fresh and the course lias never been in better order for a meeting at this season of the year. Despite the fact that so many people are out of town for the holidays, there were an unusually large number of .visitors from the country in town, and Southland was particularly well represented in the attendance.

When the barrier rose Gayoma was left at least eight lengths and Jovial showed out from Carinthia and Tunamoe. Rangatahi came to grief at the first fence over which Jovial led Carinthia and Tunamoe. Racing to the mile post Jovial was two lengths in front of Tunamoe, with Carinthia and Gayoma racing together four lengths back. Guncase was some distance away. Two furlongs further on only half a length separated Jovial, Tunamoe, and Carinthia, where Gayoma was making up ground. The first three were in line with another furlong gone, six lengths in front of Gayoma and Guncase. At the far turn Carinthia went to the front from Jovial and Tunamoe. Round the back Jovial commenced to drop hack, and Carinthia took charge from Tunamoe, while Gayoma put in a challenge. Carinthia, Tunamoe, and Gayoma landed over the last fence together and in the run home Gayoma d»'ew out to win by a length from Tunamoe, Carinthia four lengths away. Guncase was three lengths further back, and Jovial a bad fifth. Time, 3nun 18 l-ssec. SALISBURY HANDICAP, 200sovs, second 30, third 15. Im. 3 p. T.
