CUT AND STEWARDS’

YOURS TRULY WON WELL

BLAU 1.1 VITAS SUCCESS

WITH RIDICULOUS CASK (Special to (lie Herald.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Although he put in a great run over the last four furlongs. Royal Chiel. favourite for the New Zealand Cup on Saturday, could only finish fourth. The winner. Yours Truly, was always in a handy position and looked the winner from the time lie shot to the front after reaching the .straight. Capricious was slow to begin, but moved up fast to take third place at the mile and for the rest of the journey was always in the leading division, staying on well for second place. Dictate was

a good way back for a mile and a quarter, but moved, up at tile fivefuriong post and finished strongly in third place.

Racing for the straight Ihe last time round, Yours Truly joined Second Innings and Wagner in the teach Capricious being next, with Dictate going well in the middle of the course, and Royal Chief making up ground on the rails. Thermidor was also making a move. Yours Truly took charge about two furlongs from home, followed by Capricious. These two held their places, Yours Truly winning decisively by two lengths. Capricious stalled off a strong challenge from Dictate by a length, and Royal Chief finishing well, was only a length further back. Then there was a gap to Mishna, with Wagner, Ned Cuttle, The Wrecker. Hunting Cat, Ccntrepoise, Tooley Street, Peerless and Parquet following. Eml of Lowcnbcrg Arctic King broke down about six furlongs from home. Lowcnbcrg broke his oil’ fore fetlock joint just after passing the half-mile post and was destroyed. Won With Ease The slightly better than even-money favourite for the Stewards’ Handicap, Beaulivre. never left the result in doubt over (he last couple of furlongs 'and scored one of the easiest victories in the history of the race.

Gay Chou showed out early, but Rakahanga soon ran past him, with Dark Flight in close attendance, while on reaching the course proper Beaulivrc appeared to be in third place. Disdain also showed up. while Sleeveless was improving her position. Beaulivre shot to the front about two furlongs from home and went on to win with ridiculous ease. Rakahanga tired over the final furlong, and Sleeveless finished strongly to beat Dark Flight bv two length, while Paper Slipper came with a good late run to cut Rakahanga out of fourth place. Skyrena, Globe Trotter mod Strip were next.
