Cammick, rider of Xassock, escaped with a shaking. • BACKERS START WELL In making the Taranaki-owned Orazone favourite in the opening event, ! backers started really well, for the daughter of Bisogne won nicely. There was also plenty of money for Town Guard and Paddon. A good start saw Abbey Day first to bit the front from King Arch, Paddon, Arch Queen, Town Guard, Nassock, Orazone, and Waitekohe, and running past the ‘five furlongs Abbey Day was still in the van, Town Guard having run up into second place, and Modest Boy, Paddon, King Arch, Orazone, Waitekohe, and Lady Spalpeen following. Abbey Day turned for home just ahead of Modest Boy, Town Guard, King Arch, Paddon, Orazone, and Waitekohe. The leader was done with at the distance, where Town Guard began to draw out, and then the favourite put in her claim, i and she wore Town Guard down, to beat him home by three-quarters of a length. Four lengths away came Modest Boy, and the next in order were Abbey Day, Lady Cintra, Waitekohe, Star Comet, and Lady Spalpeen. At the half mile Arch Queen appeared to get on the heels of Orazone, and came down, Festina Lente and Nassock going over her, and Thurnrosae pulling up. . . . Second Division 5 KING EMERALD (W.

ONE FOR KING EMERALD Of the 14 runners In the second division of the Nelson Handicap, the bestbacked were Tinokoa, Air Queen, Bright Dawn, Alonsoa, and King Emerald, who were all well supported. At the start Air Queen was turned the wrong way, and was badly left. Judge’s Box began very quickly , leading along the back from Quinsilia, King Emerald, Bright Dawn, Tinokoa, Killute, and Alonsoa. At the five furlongs Judge’s Box was still making play from King Emerald, with Bright Dawn, Quinsilia, Tinokoa, Newbury, Alonsoa, and Killute next in order. At the home turn the order was Judge’s Box, King .Emerald, Bright Dawn, Tinokoa, Newbury, Alonsoa, Wyoming, and Killute. At the distance King Emerald challenged the leader, and Alonsoa put in a good run on the outside. King Emerald got up on the post, to beat Judge’s Box by a head, Alonsoa being two and ahalf lengths away third, the next to cross the line being Bright Dawn, Tinokoa, Newbury, Wyoming. and HANDICAP 5 CJMABTTE (W.

Sayonara was a length ahead of Gamecock at the finish, but the judicial stewards met after the race and heard evidence as to the bumping of Gamecock by Sayonara about six furlongs from home. It was decided that this interference affected the result of the race, and the decision was altered accordingly. G. Salt, rider of Sayonara, was suspended for a month. The time of the race was 2.10.

FORM AT HAWERA ON SATURDAY (By Abaydos.) Aorangi Improves Handicapped on a 3.44 mark in the Auroa Handicap, Aorangi surprised the natives by tramping the twelve furlongs in 3.33, recording the very substantial time' improvement of 11 sec. Aorangi, who recently won at Blenheim, is a son of -Gold Bell. Gold Circle in the Money Gold Circle ran a very creditable race in the opening event and beat all but the winner, Aorangi. McQuoid’s three-year-old son of Gold Bell—Lady Natalie should not be long now in registering a win. Caterpillar Consistent Berkett’s trotter Caterpillar, who raced consistently at Wanganui, added another second to his list in the Matapu Handicap, jn which he was defeated by half a length by Bright Light, which evidently dazzled the Caterpillar. The Nelsonian must soon be rewarded for his consistency. Roez Improving The Aucklander Roez, also got into the money in the twelve-furlong trotters’ event, but was not far enough advanced at the finish to return a dividend. The Mangere-trained mare keeps threatening to land a stake and may break the run of outs any day now.

The Shrew too Shrewd The Shrew, who is always a foeman worthy of the steel, carried too many guns for the Southerner, Hoon Hay, when it came to the settling point in the Cup. Both pacers finished gamely, but The Shrew had the best of the deal. The Hal Zolock mare last month won the Manawatu Cup in approved style, and at the Taranaki fixture three days later annexed the Farewell Handicap. Karma Collects As anticipated, Karma improved on her showing at Wanganui on the opening day and calmly collected the stake in the Stratford Handicap. She was made a warm favourite but was hunted out to head off Denver’s Doll. The daughter of Nelson Bingen races in the same ownership' as the Cup winner, and both are trained by W. Head, who also steers them in their engagements. Explosion Bubble Exploded The three-year-old Explosion was looked upon somewhat in the light of a moral for the President’s Handicap. and it certainly looked as if the good thing would duly materialise, till Anselm coming from the back, cut the favourite down to win by a length. The Nelson Bingen colt will not be long in making amends for this reverse. Anselm’s Acceptable Price After his fine showing in the Cup : in which he finished a good third, it was somewhat surprising to find Anselm so feebly supported for the President’s Handicap, but those who stuck to the son of Nut Ansel were amply rewarded for their confidence in his ability to concede Explosion 156 yards, a task he accomplished attractively. The Waikato-trained gelding ran a good race at Alexandra Park on the occasion of the Waikato meeting, when he finished second to Concliffe in the Waipa Handicai).
