Addington Carnival

Successful Fixture Concludes Big Totalisator Increase (.Special to THE SUN.) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. THE August fixture of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club was brought to a successful conclusion yesterday, The weather was dull and cold, with threatening rain, nevertheless there was again a larg'e attendance. The track was heavy, militating against fast times. The racing was of an interesting and exciting nature and speculation exceedingly brisk. The machine handled £55,010 for the day as against £50,463 on the final day last year. The total for the three days was £144,706, compared with £129,625 for 1926, showing a fine increase of £15,231.

For a mile and a quarter Nelson McKinney and Lady Fan looked like fighting out first money in the Midwinter Handicap, but Cannonball made a wonderful run from the back division, and staying on in remarkable fashion ,won comfortably at the finish. He is an adept in heavy going and can be expected to perform well in two-mile contests later on. Nelson McKinney and Lady Fan never put a foot wrong till nearing the judge, where Nelson McKinney weakened, and made a break, this enabling Lady

Lady Dunmore, with Omaha and Bell Harold just in behind them. Then came Macaranda, Stunt Artist and Dalmeny, with Author Jinks and Terence Dillon after them. At the bend for home, Lady Dunmore was still in front, with Macaranda, Terence Dillon, Dalmeny, Author Jinks and Stunt Artist in hot pursuit. In the race to the judge, Terence Dillon silenced his opponents, and won nicely* by three lengths from Stunt Artist, who beat Dalmeny by half a length. Taurekareka finished fourth. Had Author Jinks not faulted more than once on

Fan to fill second berth. The favourite, Count Dee, went a solid race and was beaten on liis merits. Ivatute began all right but at no stage of the journey did she ever look like getting any of the money. Pieter Timmerman, Bridget Galindo and Real the Great kept to their work all the way, but were not good enough. Cannonball won the Introductory 3-landicap on the first day. He is owned by the Reefton sportsman, Mr. V. Alborn, and is by Wildwood Junr. from Madam Shaw, a mare imported from America by Messrs. Barlow Bros., of Christchurch. ONE FOR AUCKLAND There was nothing sensational about the Lightning Handicap. Final McKinney and General Bingen made the pace for seven furlongs, with Dalmeny, Brutus and Jewel Pointer following in that order, but Dalmeny was well beaten two furlongs from home. Once into the straight F. E. Jones set Jewel Pointer to work and though hard at it to the last stride he got up in time to beat Final McKinney by a length and a-half. General Bingen stuck to his job fairly well to secure third money. Brutus finished fourth and Macaranda filled fifth berth. Native Chief left the mark, but broke after going about 20 yards. Bonny Logan showed lot of speed on the trip and was in sixth place when the line was crossed. Jewel Pointer,, is owned by Mr. M. Moodabo, of Auckland, where he is trained by J. S. Shaw. Jewel Pointer is a solid customer by Logan Pointer from Law Chimes. FAVOURITE JUST TOPPED OFF The favourite, Hoon Hay, had every chance in the Federal Handicap. He was first away from the barrier, and led into the straight, where he still looked a winner, but when tackled by Wharepiana, he failed to keep his position to the wire, where Wharepiana beat him by a head over the last halfmile. Bob Logan put in some good work; he was third into the straight, but could not overhaul Wharepiana and Hoon Hay. Berenice went well for a mile, where she commenced to fall back. William the Great, Haunui and Avenger all had good passages, but

were not able to get any of the money. Bold Bill and Locanda Child broke at the start, and Lulu had left liis feet badly a round from home. Wharepiana is the property of Mr. T. C. Butcher, and is trained by M. B. Edwards, who drove her. She is by Hal Zolock from Muriel Derby. TERENCE DILLON A GOOD ONE The Heathcote Handicap proved a triumph for the five-year-old gelding Terence Dillon, who won after suffering an' interrupted passage during three stages of the contest. Hp is a great pacer and a natural stayer. He is by Author Dillon from Teresita, and is owned by M. G. McCarthy and trained by J. Henderson at Oamaru. After Omaha had led for three furlongs, Harold Burwood went to the front, and with a round to go he was racing with FLUENZOL FOR SMOKERS The cigarette habit is more general than ever, especially since so many womenfolk adopted the practice. No smoker can afford to be without FLUENZOL as a healthful and cleansing mouthwash. especially first thing in the morning. FLUENZOL is also a certain means of checking that cigarette cough or that “smoker's throat.” 1

the trip, he would have issued a serious challenge to Terence Dillon for first money. Nelson Fame had every chance, but was among the cot cases half a mile from home. TROTTERS’ THRILLING CONTEST The Addington Handicap provided one of the thrills of the gathering. After making two breaks, Peterwah ranged alongside of Peter Swift and Moneyspider at the turn for home, and when looking to have the measure of his two doughty opponents, he made his third break, a bad one at that, and dropped back into fourth place. Meanwhile Peter Swift and Moneyspider continued the fight, which ended in a victory for Moneyspider by half a length from Peter Swift. In the early stages Nighborn, Little tmd Red Oak trotted all right, but mistakes later on deprived them of whatever chance they had. Clonmel kept in the trot all the way, and succeeded in collecting third money. Trampfast was trotting nicely, when he went in the air. That was at the mile post. The winner is a pupil of J. Bryce’s, and went a solid race, being a big improvement upon his erratic exhibition earlier in the meeting. Moneyspider is an aged gelding by Lorenes Todd from Mantle. GENUINE BY NAME AND NATURE When Huon Denver dashed to the front 10 furlongs from home in the Islington Handicap, his backers were elated, but when it came to racing over the last half-mile he dropped back hopelessly defeated. Wenlo failed to begin correctly, and Nipper made the early running from Spring Time, Genuine, Pointalena and Daytime. Then with a round covered, first Huon Denver dashed into the lead, then at the far bend Amaris shot to the front. With a mile and a-half completed, Amaris had Pointalena and Daytime as his most dangerous opponents. At this stage Huon Denver was beaten, and on reaching the straight. Pointalena, Amaris and Daytime were hard at it. Meantime Genuine and Henry Logan came on the sc% ie, and heading Amaris, they went on to decide the issue, Genuine getting home a neck in front of Henry Logan, with Amaris a length further away third. Daytime was fourth and Pointalena fifth. Genuine is a good pacer, a game racehorse and a natural stayer. He is owned by Mr. L. O. Thomas, who drove him, and is by Brent Locanda from Succeed. CONCLIFFE BACKERS LUCKY In a good betting race the coupled horses, Condiff and Bell Harold, were favourite. Bell Harold always was on the premises, and, well driven by J. McLennan, he won by a neck from Talent, who also was in the firing line all the way. Nelson Fame was pulling that hard in the early stages August allowed him to run to the front with a round to go. He was still in front when home turn was reached, but at the | tance post he was beaten. He was fol. ved all through by Talent, Bell Harold. Fight Ever, St. Maura and Downcast, with Concliff and Peter Bingen doing their work wide out. In the race home, Bell Harold silenced Talent. St. Maura finished well under the stick to secure third money, and Downcast was fourth. Of the party, Away was the only candidate not to get going properly on the journey. The winner is owned by the popular* Dunedin sportsman, Mr. G. J. Barton, and is trained by W. J. Tomkinson. He is by Harold Rothschild from Tenny Bell.
