OUTSIDERS’ DAY

AT TE AROHA TROTS CONCERTINA'S CUP SEBISCA'S BIG DIVIDEND In ideal weather and before a larne concourse of people the Te Aroha Trotting Club staged a splenaid fixture on Saturday, when some high-class and exciting contests were witnessed. The b.g course was in good order, but the tooting was not fast. President Somers left no stone nn- ! for tlie largo number ol visitors, while , Secretary uusii as usual attended to iiis : duties in an efficient and capable man- j ner, and had all arrangements up to a high standard. All the officials 1 worked harmoniously and assiduously gratulated on the tine result of their efforts. The totalisator returns showed a falling off from last year when X I j. 75was put through the machine, Saturday s total umy reaching £14,-158, a decrease of .C 1,294. This can be accounted lor by me fact that favourites had a bad day, only one. Belle Axwortliy, in the opening event, scoring. In the main dividends were on the largo side, proving that punters wer<. all at sea, so it is not surprising under the circumstances that investments were loss than previously recorded. Fines for Minor Offences Messrs. Reid and Commons were in attendance in their official capacity as stipendiary stewards, but the clean sport provided made their duties light, ooveral minor irregularities claimed attention and A. \\ . Broughton tyus lined 10s after the nrst race lor driving jji wrong colours, while drivers G. Ix. Mitchell, A. R. Saunders and Cl. Patou, for failing to obey the starter, i were required to pay forfeit to tlio I extent of 20s. If. "Major” Shaw was again successful with the dispatches and as at the i Thames fixture, his work was most : favourably commented on o> vpublic, iiandicapper C. L. Gooseman also came in for congratulation on the excellent racing witnessed as a resuit of his well studied adjustments. lit had the winners remarkably wtU concealed, much to the chagxin of the great majority of speculators. Successful Reinsmen G T Mitchell, junr., who, for the last* few seasons has experienced anythins but a good slice of fortune, had •l roval day scoring with Sebisca. and Pollv’s Picture, and collecting a second dividend with Horizon. A. Julian also captured a double, being with Belle Axworthy and Cri eat Ballin. Other reinsmen to succeed on the clay were J. S. Shaw (Warspite) Geo. Phipps (Concertina), H. «*- (Royal Bob) and R. -Hall, junr. (Scandal). Bell Axworthy Jogs In Bello Axworthy was made the favourite in the Waitoa -Handicap, with £ 270 from Benefice £22%, with a big drop to Polly’s Picture AI9J. Belle Axworthy and Profiteer were the first to show out, and led past tlio stands six lengths clear of Zealous, Conder Bell, Jersey Thorpe Beniflce, the latter breaking badly. Along the back Belle Axworthy and Profiteer were clear of Zealous, Conder Bell, Polly’s Picture and Vanity Boy. Approaching the straight Vanity Boy moved up and followed the iawounte at the home turn. Profiteer, Zealous and Polly's Picture were all handy. Tlio favourite went on to win comfortably by a length and a-half trom Zealous, who finished a neck ahead of Polly’s Picture. Then came Vanity Boy, Gold Treasure, Conder Bell, Profiteer and Beniflce. Sebisca Springs Surprise To Ngutu was made a not favourite, for the Elstow Trot, carrying £324 with Bon Zolock £173 and Nelson Girl £166 next in demand. The winner, Sebisca, carried £32 and paid his supporters close to a quarter of a century. At the start Peter Brown broke up and interfered with Bon Zolock. Te Ngutu led out and passed the stand in front of Nelson Girl, with a good gap back to Sweet Memory, Birect Action and Royal Bob. Along the back Te Ngutu broke and Nelson Girl went to the front from Te Ngutu followed by Birect Action and Royal Bob. Crossing the top Nelson Girl broke up badly and Te Ngutu was again in charge from Birect Action, Nelson Girl, Royal Bob and Sebisca. At the home turn Te Ngutu lost the lead, Birect Action going out in front of Sebisca and Royal Bob. One hundred yards from home Birect Action put in a skip and Sebisca trotting solidly went on to win by a neck from Birect.Action, with Royal Bob a length and a-half ahead of Anseline and the favourite. Warspite’s Good Price Most support was accorded Bell Biul £ 327, with Bawdier £2157 and Rolf© Audubon £221 next in demand in the Manawaru Handicap. Warspite carried £2OO. At the start Andover fell, Joe Aspro and Gold Sound leading out from Black Ballln and Warspite. When the top was reached Black Baffin was but in front of Warspite, closely followed by Rolfe Audubon, Dawdler, Bell Dial and Horizon. Here a collision occurred, and Julian, the driver of Rolfe Audubon, was thrown out of the sulky. Along the back Black Baffin, Warspite, Gold Sound, Horizon, Mountain Bell and Dawdler were in that order. Crossing the top Warspite went to the front and led into the straight, followed by Horizon, Bell Dial, Mountain Bell. Black Ballin, Haercnga Pai and Bawdier. Warspite went ou to win pulling up by three lengths from Horizon, with Bell Dial one and a-half lengths away third. Nelson Dillon was fourth, followed by Black Ballin, Mountain Bell, Bawdier. Haerenga Pai and Etta Cole. Concertina’s Fine Finish Medusa. £3GS, Kockburn, £342, Tony Victor, £324, and Great Peter. £282. were selected as being most worthy of support in the Te Aroha Cup. Concertina carried £l5O, and paid nearly double figures. Limosa, Carmel, Concertina, and Great Peter were the early leaders, while Kockburn went away very badly, and tailed the field for the whole of the journey. As they passed the stand, Great Peter and Concertina were together just in front of Goldman, who had made up his handicap very quickly, Tony Victor. Carmel. Cornelian, and Medusa. Along the back Great Peter was still in front of Goldman, Concertina. Tony Victor, Carmel, Daytime, and Medusa. Great Peter was the leader across the top, where Goldman skipped into second place, with Carmel and Tony Victor doing the best of the others. Into the straight the order was Carmel, Concertina. Goldman. Tony Victor. Limosa. Great Peter, and Medusa. At the half-distance Concertina came through, and went on to win by two lengths from Carmel. Tony Victor was a length and a-half away third, followed by Lord Nepean. Goldman. Great Peter. Daytime, and Medusa.

Great Ballin Breaks the Ice The public supported Great Parrish £544, Zealous £331, and Gold Treasure £225 in the Raukaka Handicap. The favourite refused to go and galloped for a furlong, losing about 100yds. Gaza was first away, followed by Conder Bell, Carnui and Nathaniel. Along the back Gaza was still in front from Conder Bell .and Carnui, Profiteer, Zealous and Great Ballin being at the head of the next bunch. Crossing the top Gaza was finished with, and Zealous ran up to Conder Bell with Great Parrish, who had run up fast

from the back, next. Into the straight the order was Zealous. Conder Bell. Great Parrish. Gold Treasure and Great Ballin. In a great race to the post Great Ballin got up to win by tluvo-.iuartors of a length from Conder Bell, with zealous a neck away third Par- > in getting up after losing a i->t • ground at. i**v .. ... was close up fourth, followed by <*arnui. Golden Treasure and Nathaniel. The winner carried £ 125 and paid almost double ■pres. The second horse, Conder Bell, carried £26 and gave a god doublefigure return. Polly in the Picture Belle Ax worthy was made a firm favourite despite a penalty of 1- yards, for the Hot Springs Handicap, carrying £433, with a big drop to Benefice, £272. and Bell Bial. £207. At the start Bell Todd and llori Billon collided, and took no part in the race. Bon Juan was first out. and led past the stand from Lord Haldane. Benefice, Marionette, Vanity Boy. and Polly’s Picture. Before reaching the back, Marionette went out to the front and opened up a gap of half a dozen lengths from Bon Juan. Vanity Boy, Polly’s Picture, and Benefice. Crossing the top. Vanity Boy and Polly's Picture’ followed the leader, and tins pair led into the straight, closely followed by Benefice and Haerenga Pai. In a good race to the box, Polly’s Picture won by a length and a-half from Haerenga Pai, with Vanity Boy half a length away third. Benefice was a neck awav fourth, followed by Gold Sound. Mountain Bell, and Marionette. The winner carried £l3O, and paid nearly a double-figure return. A Stirring Finish The best supported horse in tlio Wailiou Trot was Anselimt with £548, with Royal Bob £370 and Direct Action £369 next in order to favouritism. At the start Peter Brown and Bon Zolock broke up. Royal Bob and Birect Action going out from the others, and leading past the stand, followed by Te Xgutu, Bon Zolock, Roez and Wild Nut. Along the back Royal Bob was a length clear of Birect Action, with Te Ngutu, 50yds away, heading the remainder. Lntering the straight Royal Bob was in advance of Birect Action with Anseline 60yds further back at the head of the bunch. In the run home the two leaders broke, but settled down quickly, and a hard fight ensued to the post. A few yards from the tape Royal Bob broke, but finished a head in front of Birect Action, with Anseline five lengths away third. Then came Wild Xut and Te Xgutu with the rest of the field well down the course. A protest against Royal Bob for galloping past the post was dismissed. Final Flutter With 15 runners and 14 chances of speculating on a winner, there was a good pool for the Farewell Handicap, a saMdlo heat. On the strength of his fino effort in the Cup, Carmel £406 was installed favourite, but there was solid support for the Hawera winner. Silver Link, £3S9. The Scandal— Marosa bracket £ 304 was next choice, followed by Ursuline £239, with Bad’s Hope carrying three pounds less. Backers of the favourite were soon out of suspense, as shortly after the start Marionette fell and interfered badly with Carmel, who narrowly averted a pill and Tost a great deal of ground.

Huon Grattan went straight for the doctor and with four furlongs covered was well out from Admiral Lock. Edna Thorpe, Scandal and Bad’s Hope. Crossing the top Huon G-ittan and Scandal moved up and le % into the straight from Admiral Lo< k. Huon Grattan and Bad’s Hope, Concertina and Goldman doing best of the remainder. Scandal went on to win comfortably by two lengths, Bad’s Hope getting up to beat Admiral Lock by hall a length for second money. Concertina was fourth, followed by IJuon Grattan. Goldman and Ursuline. WAITOA HANDICAP Of £120: limit 3.35; Li miles. 1— BELLE AXWORTHY (LI. Young), 1» f, by Travis Axworthy—Belle Bingen. 3yrs. limit. A. Julian .... ‘ 6 ZEALOUS, limit, A.
