TROTTING

FORM AT EPSOM SMART PERFORMANCES ON FINAL DAY GREAT PETER’S FINE TROT As previously mentioned by “Abaydos,” some high class racing was witnessed on the final day of the Auckland trotting fixture, and several smart performances recorded by place-getters in various events. The form of the divi-dend-payers is reviewed below. Sam Roe drove a well-judged race with Peterson in the Tamaki Handicap, and the Petereta gelding had a good bit in reserve when the final pinch was entered. Finishing gamely he won by a head. Linnett the Great again trotted a solid race on Tuesday, and when she hit the front half a mile from home her backers felt on good terms with the world. The English mare responded gamely to Driver Smith’s call at the end, but suffered a narrow defeat. * * * Belle Axworthy, produced for the first time at the fixture, was always in a handy position in the Park Handicap. When she was pulled out at the home turn A. Julian’s mare displayed a great dash and just headed Great Parrish off at the post. * * » Great Parrish went away smartly in the Park Handicap, and racing along in front like a champion, looked a winner 100 yards from the judge. The Derby winner finished gamely, but had to take second berth to Belle Axworthy. It was a splendid performance on the part of J. T. Paul’s colt. Dilworth went to the front early in th© President’s Handicap, and Berkett saved all the ground possible. The filly hung on w T ell at the finish to keep Wrackler, who was flying in the straight, out of first money. ** * * Wrackler got into a bad position with half the distance covered in the President’s Handicap, and going along the back the last time M. Holmes had to pull him to the outer. Over the concluding stages the four-year-old did wonderful work, but just failed to materialise. It was a sterling performance and raised the enthusiasm of the large crowd present. * * * S. August made no bones about getting Stanmoor well to the lead in the New Year Handicap, and after keeping just in front of All Bell for a mile and a half bolted away down the back to come home on his lonesome. Evelyn Locanda ran another consistent race in the New Year Handicap, and while she managed to beat the rest of the field had no chance of overtaking Stanmoor in the run to the post. * <-• * Young Blake put up a great trot in the Association Handicap to win by a narrow margin from the consistent Rose Bingen. He made up his big handicap in rare style and being handy at the turn finished with plenty of dash. Rose Bingen was going great guns half a mile from home in the Association Trot, but she put in a skip, losing some ground. Once settled down, the consistent mare came again with a desperate effort, but was headed off narrowly by Young Blake at the box. * * * Great Peter proved that his twomile win on Saturday was no fluke by winning the Telegraph Handicap from 72yds behinds in the fast time of 4.28 2-5. He was exce.lently handled by J. T. Paul, who had a most successful meeting.

AVarspite filled the position of run-ner-up in the Telegraph Handicap, •which made his performances for the carnival decidedly consistent. A bad break at one stage of the contest saw him lose ground, but he soon recovered

and was holding a winning chance when Great Peter cut him down near the box. Concliff proved by his fine effort in the Premier Handicap that his form on Saturday was correct. The handsome chestnut paced in good style and when it came to the finish he buried the opposition for speed. Tomkinson drove with excellent judgment to just win and nothing more. * * * Carmel was always going nicely in the ten-furlong heat and half way down the straight his backers were jubilant about their chances of collecting the main dividend. When Concliff came on the scene with a final burst he carried too many guns fpr tlie Epsom-trained pacer. Genuine began smartly in the Onslgw Handicap to hit the trail in front of the field and there he stayed to stave off those who made a bold bid to take it off him at the finish. L. O. Thomas never let up with the Brent Locanda gelding. Bessie Logan, with C. King in the sulky, ran another fine race in the final heat, and she made a gallajit effort to overhaul the leader in the run to the box, but failed by a neck. C. Donalds mare has made a splendid return to form of late. GREYMOUTH TROTS KREISLER RECORDS AN EASY WIN FIRST DAY’S RESULTS I y ress Association GREYMOUTH, Saturday.
