Clontarf led across the top and into the straight from Bachelor Gay, but at the last fence the latter came to grief. Clontarf went on to win easily by three lengths from Beauty Light, who finished very fast. Kapuna was a head away third, followed by Gay Jim, who met with interference when Bachelor Gay fell.

Favourite Third Royal Head was favourite for the Kaikorai Handicap. All Comment was slow to begin, and when a furlong had been covered, Schottische, Piton, Appian and Royal Head was the order. Piton led along the back into the straight, but in the run home Schottische did best, and beat Piton by a length, with Royal Head a similar distance away third, followed, by Eyed Ova. Won With Late Run Eulalie was a pronounced favourite for the Dunedin Guineas- There was a delay at the barrier, and when the field got away, Honey and Money Peer were left. Eulalie went to the front from Don Jose, Glad Light, Rotor and Starflight, with Martarma well back. Eulalie led across the top and into the straight from Satrap and Glad Light, with Ark Royal coming fast. At the distance, Eulalie held charge, but 100 yards from the post Royal challenged Eulalie and he got up in time to defat the favourite by half a head, with Satrap a length and a-half away third, followed by Martarma. Martarma could never handle the going. Won in a Canter Royal Game was made favourite in a good betting race fo.r the Ranfurly Handicap. Taboo hopped out smartly from Royal Game, Wingatui, and Vaward and, leading all the way, won in a common canter by eight lengths from Royal Game, with Vaward four lengths further back third. Overhaul was fourth. Taboo handled the heavy going in great style, and won with ridiculous ease. Winner Hot Favourite Black Duke was all the rage for the Shorts Handicap.

Black Duke came through at the distance and, stalling off Dismantle, won by a neck. Father O’Flynn was a similar distance away third, with Comic Song fourth.
