Lackham Is Back To Hard Work

PAYS SENSATIONAL DIVIDEND RAIN AND MUD AT PAHIATUA Special to THE SUN PALMERSTON IST., Thursday. Heavy showers spoilt the day Fuhiatua for the conclusion of the summer meeting. The course became heavy and speculation was affected, a £2,820 fall in the totalisator receipts for the meeting resulting. The Kodney Hack Cup created the interest usual with such events, and it furnished a keen contest. The start in front of the stand found the field faced with negotiating a turn almost immediately, and although Tourist and Llyn Hu led Grecian round the corner. Llyn Hhu was in front entering the back, with Patearoa, Grecian, Tourist, Royal Opera and Air Force next in attendance. General Gas and Aurora Borealis were far back in the rear. The positions underwent changes racing down the back, and Koval Opera was in charge from Liya Hu, Grattus, Grecian Kilorell, Air Force, Tourist and Patearoa as they swept into the straight. A great race ensued in the run to the post, Royal Opera and Grecian gradually drawing to the front to light out the finish, th-i former hanging on to beat the favourite by a neck, with a gap of four lengths to General Gas, who came from a long way back. Hisrank also did well to finish fifth, ahead of Air Force. Motliplane, Grattus and Aurcra Borealis. Easy For Teri The Mangahao Handicap proved easy’ for Teri, who was favourite. Royal Game and Cerf led along the back, with Queen’s Choice ahead of Teri and Gold Bag. Approaching the turn Joy Bird ran up into third position behind Cerf and Royal Game, ana they came into the straight in that order, Queen's Choice and Teri being handy. Cerf bung on well in the run home, but ho eo.ild not hold off Teri and Queen’s Choice, the favourite having three parts of a length advantage over Queen’s Choice, with Cerf a length and a-half back. Royal Game was fourth, with Joy Bird ahead of Gold Bag. , , _ Teri plaved with the field and had the race won at any stage, though Queen’s Choice would have hurried him along had he challenged sooner. A sensational, dividend was the feature of the Tararua Hack Handicap. Lackham, who is back to racing after three seasons at the stud, carried only £ 19, and l e paid a great double-figure price. The field was spread across the course at the distance, with Lackham coming up fast, and in a thrilling finish the outsider of the field got up to register a sensational victory by a neck. Lackham got down to business in great style in the straight, and was flying over everything at the finish, though his victory was an exceedingly narrow one. The Sfirint

lloa Bird won the Electric Handicap convincingly. She tailed the neld into the straight, but when headed tor home she swept by them without difficulty, and was not extended to win bv two lengths from Blimp, who, revelling in the ground. finished law. three lengths ahead of Bonogne, who iust beat Veronese and Banket, hloa Bird is back to form.
