AN OUTSIDER SCORES Whaka King and the Royal Doulton —Micrometer bracket received most support in the field of 31 for the Ohinewai Handicap, which included Elmestra, who had been omitted from the card. Atapai and "Whaka King were actually the first into their stride, but Lucy Glitters soon ran to the front, from Atapai, Whaka King, Elmestra, Ramblin’ Kid, and Storm Fiend. Crossing the top, Lucy Glitters and Storm Fiend drew away and turned for home five lengths clear of Royal Doulton, Elmestra, Ramblin’ Kid, Cynthia, Whaka King and Te Whaka. A good finish saw Red Comet come from the clouds, and finishing fast on the outside he defeated Royal

Doulton by a neck, with Ramblin’ • Kid three parts of a length away third and Whaka King fourth. The next j to finish were Joke Form, Cynthia X.. | Rina Mangu. and Elmestra. The win- ! ner was one of the less fancied division. and returned his supporters a substantial dividend. EUREKA HANDICAP Of 150 sovs.; two-year-olds; 6 furlongs. 7 WHAKARITE (J. Williamson and X.

RACE RESULTS | I l | A Late Edition of THE | I SUN will be published at 5.30 p.m. containing the final race results. i I HAWKE’S BAY MEETING WORK AT HASTINGS RAPINE IN GREAT HEART Press Association HASTINGS, To-day. There was little work done on the Hastings tracks this morning, most of the horsse being restricted to working gallops on the plough. Hathor alone ran six furlongs in 1.18. Scotch Mixture had the better of Superb King over five furlongs run in 1.15 1-5. Othon easily held Good Mark over six furlongs in 1.20, and Royal Damon was too good for Royal Diadem over five furlongs, taking 1.5 1-5. Merry Day, Radiate and Highway were associated in a gallop, starting at the six-furlong post and finishing on the second round at the four-furlong post. Merry Day, looking well and galloping freely, easily outdistanced her opponents. On her return she showed not the least sign of distress. It was an attractive gallop, but no time was taken. Highway alone did one round over four flights of hurdles, jumping cleanly Road Hog held Coot easily over seven furlongs on the outside track proper, run in 1.31, the first three being run in 37 3-ssec. Rapine, looking in great heart, went twice round on the plough at a strong three-quarter pace. Joy King and Decoy Bird were given slow work, as also were Reremoana and Royal Divorce. Calluna, Grand National and Merry Singer were sent twice round at a strong pace, the first-mentioned pleasing most. Peneus and Kalos, the former having the advantage, ran seven furlongs in 1.31. C. Wright, of Gisborne, had liis team on the track, all looking particularly well, but did only slow exercise.
