TRACK HARD AND FAST

HORE HORE TO SNOWPLANE Special to THE SUN DARGAVILLE, Today. The weather was very warm for the second day of the Dargaville Racing Club’s meeting, which was held today. The attendance was fair.

He lost several teeth and received mild spinal injuries. Royal Day (£223) and Snowplane (£297) carried most money in the opening event, the two others being negleqted, but the favourite, Snowplane, was at a line price. Royal Day was leading Bonnie Day and Snowplane at the back, and this was the order at the home turn. At the distance Snowplane came along and won handsomely by a neck from Royal Day, who was a neck ahead of Bonnie Day.

The latter led cut from Illingar, Exalted, Macroom, Gay Cockade and Archeen. The last named was standing the field a good start at the end of a furlong. Owairaka led across the top and into the straight clear of Macroom, Archeen, Gay Cockade, Illingar and Exalted. The leader was not troubled to win by three lengths from Archeen, who paid a microscopic dividend. Macroom wasa length away and then came Gay Cockade, Exalted and Illingar.

Then the favourite asserted himself and won by a length from Royal Day, who finished strongly, a head in front of Fiery Lad, with Turn and Bizarro next.
