DUNDAS BOY & PADLOCK

Good Sport at Epsom YOUNG BLAKE’S FINE EFFORT IN fine but overcast weather the Auckland Trotting Club’s winter meeting opened today at Alexandra Park. Notwithstanding the early start of the racing, there was a fair attendance which increased to large dimensions later. The track was very heavy after the recent deluge. Backers opened well, the favourite, Akenehi, confidently driven by J. T. Paul, accounting for the opening event — Winter Trot—in fine style. A hot favourite in Vendome let hackers down badly in the Mangere Handicap. The issue was fought out between two little fancied candidates in Mountain Dell and Trustworthy, who finished in that order to return remunerative prices. There was a stirring finish in the Provincial Trot between Floraline and Etta Cole, the former getting a half-head decision over the favourite. Though the favourites failed to find one of the chief places in the main event, the Prince of Wales Handicap, the race was nevertheless interesting, the finish between Dundas Boy and Padlock being one to look back on with enthusiasm. Both horses were at acceptable prices. When Young Blake won the Stewards’ Handicap from 102yds behind he gave a splendid exhibition of solid trotting, and his reward at the end was obviously well earned. Prior to that race he ran in the Prince of Wales Handicap, but was pulled up in the first furlong.

Akanehi never put a foot wrong in the opening event and scored very easily at the finish, but the majorits' of the field made mistakes that made her task easier. Akanehi (£373), Wah (£365) and Peterson (£152) carried the most money. Peterson was in front after the first quarter, passing the stands ahead of Bon Zolock, Akanehi, Birect Action, Golden Gate, Sweet Memory, Appeal and Wah, who lost ground by breaking twice. Peterson left his feet in the next lap and the favourite was just ahead of him the second time past the spectators, with Bon Zolock, Wah, Birect Action, Sweet Memory, Appeal, Golden Gate, Sebisca and Floraline. The two leaders drew away down the back, Akanehi turning for home four lengths clear of Peterson, with Floraline another eight lengths away, with Gold Star, Bon Zolock. Appeal, Birect Action and Sebisca in a bunch. Akanehi won by two and a-half lengths from Pteterson, with Floraline two lengths back, and daylight to Gold Star. Next were Bon Zolock, Sebisca, Appeal, Wah, Kolmar and Golden Gate, pretty well strung out. It was not a very exciting contest. MANGERE HANDICAP Of £250; 15 miles; limit 3.285 8— MOUNTAIN DELL (W.

Others to come in for support were Ethiopian (£351) and Bawdier (£335), with Mountain Bell (£140) and Trustworthy (£128) at long odds. Hohora led out from Warspite, Andover and Bawdier, but at the end of the first circuit Gold Cast and Mountain Bell were up with Hohara, with Bawdier.

The Provincial Trot was a good finish between Floraline and Etta Cole, and although the former broke several times he settled down quickly, to outstay the favourite. Etta Cole £952, Western Voyage £864, and Floraline £654 were best supported. Gold Sovereign was leading Floraline and Dipnoi the first time past the stands, with Wimmera King, Peter Me-

Kinney, Etta Cole and Western Voyage, the backmarker, getting up to the field early, for there was not much pace on. Floraline held a slight advantage over Gold Sovereign, Etta Cole, Dipnoi, Peter McKinney, Wimmera King and Western Voyage setting out on the last lap. As they started to come across the top Peter McKinney tipped his rider out. Floraline and Etta Cole turned for home together, with a gap back to Gold Sovereign, Wimmera King and Dipnoi. Floraline hung on to beat Etta Cole by half a head, with five lengths back to Western Voyage. Dipnoi was fourth and Gold Sovereign and Wimmera King down the course.

Times, 5.6, 5.4, 5.5, and 5.3 2-5. Machine Gun was the only withdrawal from the Prince of Wales Handicap, in which the favourite was the back-marker, Kohara, who carried support to the extent of £1,378, with Cardinal Logan (£1,037), and Young Blake (£703) next best backed. The deadheaters. Dundas Bov and Padlock, had money amounting to £4Bl and £3BO respectively against their names. At the start The Abbey and Torpedo Huon were slow to go away, while Young Blake was breaking badly and was pulled up inside a furlong. However, when they had settled down, Torpedo Huon, Vesuvius and Dundas Boy were the early leaders and led past the stand from Padlock, Logan Chief, Kohara and The Abbey. The drivers were content to maintain this order until nearing the stands again, where Torpedo Huon and Dundas Boy were on terms, leading Vesuvius, Padlock, Logan Chief, Kohara and The Abbey. Padlock made a forward move racing down the back the last time, and though’ the field bunched crossing the top, he was chasing the pacemaker, Dundas Boy, as they turned for home, this pair being followed by Cardinal Logan, The Abbey, Vesuvius, Kohara and Logan Chief. A really splendid finish was witnessed between Dundas Boy and Padlock, the latter shooting out inside the distance to get up and make it a dead-heat. A length and a-half away was Cardinal Logan (third), followed by Kohara, Vesuvius, Logan Chief and The Abbey. HOBSON HANDICAP Of £300; 2 miles; 4.38 limit 6 GREAT DELIGHT (Mrs. R. M.

Most support was accorded Hal Chimes in the Hobson Handicap, the Te Awamutu representative being entrusted with £862, as against £Bl9 on the Warplane-Stoney bracket, and £696 on Reremai. But an outside in Great Belight (£521) captured the race. Stoney and Rockburn did not go off correctly, while the favourite was slow from the mark. When they had settled down Derby Lynn was showing the way to Reremai, Great Belight, Hal Chimes, Warplane. Evelyn Locanda and Brutus, that being the order in which they raced past the stand the first time. With no pace on, there was little change on the second circuit, though Brutus had noticeably made up ground. Derby Lynn and Reremai were momentarily together, but turning into the back stretch Reremai took charge, and led Derby Lynn. Great Belight. Brutus, Evelyn Locanda, and Hal Chimes. Turning for home, Reremai. Great Belight. Evelyn Locanda and Derby Lynn had little between them. Great Belight doing best in the last furlong to win by a short neck from Evelyn Locanda, who beat Derby Lynn by three lengths. Reremai was next, succeeded by Brutus and Hal Chimes.

Trampfast was the only scratching in the Stewards’ Handicap, the favourite division being Rose Bingen (£1,103), Young Blake (£1,002), and Ngatira (£807). Rose Bingen and Bingen Star failed to leave the mark correctly, and Cannonball immediately opened up a gap, and was out eight lengths clear of Tradesman, Bingen Starr, Napland, and Young Blake, trotting smartly, as they raced past the stands. The pacemaker was still four lengths clear of the field on the beginning of the second and final circuit, and, turning into the back stretch, was adjudged to be five lengths ahead of Young Blake, Bingen Starr, Napland, and Ngatira. This was the order at the turn, but Cannonball was stopping quickly, and failed to withstand a hot challenge from Young Blake, who won nicely by a length. Ngatira was a fair third, and ton ' lengths further back was Rose Bingen, who led home Trampfast and Napland. CORNWALL HANDICAP Of £400; 1 mile; 2.13 limit. 5 NELSON TASKER (L.

Dalmeny (£867), All Bell (£717), and Steel All (£512) were the two fancied for the Cornwall Handicap, but they failed to make good showings, the winner turning up in Nelson Tasker £522). The Abbey and All Bell spoilt their chances by losing ground at the start. First out were Wharepiana and Daytime, followed closely by Harvest Child, Dalmeny, Tony Victor, Daphne De Oro, and Bessie Logan. Daytime just headed Harvest Child along the back, stretch, while Bessie Logan and Nelson Tasker were also moving up. Bessie Logan continued her run so as to be in command crossing the top and into the straight, where she led Daytime, Harvest Child, Dalmeny, Wharepiana and Nelson Tasker, who was showing up on the outside. A good finish eventuated, Nelson Tasker finishing strongly to win by a head from Bessie Logan, who beat Harvest Child by half a length.
