This was the order to the straight, where Denier and Richfield fought out a good finish, Denier, well ridden, winning by a neck. Golden Flower was a length and a-half away third, and Joke Form fourth. Tongahoe Hurdles Ripon Abbey went out very fast in the Tongahoe Hurdles, and led the way to the straight lor the first time, with a break of several lengths on the field. Running past the stands Ripon Abbey still had charge, but was not jumping well. Gala Day, Polyphemus, Horomea, Red Fuchsia and Glengariff were next to the leader. Along the back Red Fuchsia ran up into third place, and then Mister Gamp ran past the field and took charge, while Glengariff also improved his position. Mister Gamp and Glengariff led Red Fuchsia into the straight and, in a good finish, Glengariff won by a head from Mister Gamp, with Red Fuchsia a length away third and Polyphemus, Horomea and Ripon Abbey following.

Havering took charge at the entrance to the straight, and, although Monsogne came at him, he won by half a neck, with Second Thought finishing fast in third place. Another half a neck away came Good Cheer, fourth, then Bione and St. Melba. Hack Steeplechase The Hack Steeplechase was a real chapter of acicdents. Mandarine went down at the first fence and caused a mix-up, TJrall and Royal Elm losing their riders and Trouble stopping at the fence. Passing through the straight Maidos was well clear of Kapuna, Highwayman and Mountain Crag, and the field was lengthily strung out.

Highwayman, Maidos and Kapuna were together two fences from home, but in the run home Highwayman won by two lengths from Kapuna. with Maidos four lengths away third, and Huirangi Girl, Pikimai and Chyrria the only others to finish. Alaric ran off and Son o’ Mine lost his rider. Egmont Steeplechase Roman Abbey and Puwhero carried the money in the Egmont Steeplechase.
