HOW DAPHNE DE ORO SCORED
Contest For New Zealand Derby Stakes
The New Zealand Derby Stakes saw some good three-year-olds m action and it took a high- class filly m Daphne de Oro to gain the honors.
ADMIRABLY handled by F. G. r\. Holmes, she got on the journey nicely and after mixing it with her opponents for nine fux-longs she drew away to give her pilot "a ride m the park" down the straight. She won very easily. For second money there was a keen set-to between Eugene de Oro and Harvest Child.
I Both youngsters answered gamely to the demands made upon them m the straight and it was only after a real battling finish that Eugene de Oro gained the upper hand. The honors of the race from a sire's point of view were all with Rey de Oro, which is the father of both Daphne de Oro and Eugene de Oro. Donard did his best to get the money. He is a real pacer and one that will take Maurice Holmes first home on several occasions later m the season.
