The Nei S p„ I Derby gelding will improve as th ! result of the race. I Capilano displayed gameness at 44,» finish of the Innox.aion Handicap VA gain the verdict. The filly i s a n ic ‘! gaited pacer and will reach a sor> , standard. oODU | Tho two-year-old Bingen Cre^‘ ? ( Worthy Bingen—Edna, dam of Derby Lynn), created a lavouruble irnpro*i sion in his initial public essav an.i ! later on should do well. The Triumph mare, Blue and Got-j . never put a foot wrong in the r»„* ! furlong trot and her solidity gave her i the final decision. j Joy Ride, despite a couple of breakwent two good races into second AlKm’s mare showed a big improveI ment on liis Hamilton form. Bessie Bingen was peculiarly handled I in tho two-mile trot, going quickly to th© lead to fade out three furlong from home. Driver Price was asked to explain the performance, the explanation being deemed satisfactory. Harry Garnett, who is consistently successful with square-gaiters, won. the two- with Brian Binsen. Olive Nelson, after a slow beginning in th© President’s Trot, gave a good display over the final stages Rita Thorpe, ridden by G. Caddy, came from the clouds to win xlli saddle trot by a narrow margin. Horsemanship was an important factor toward victory. * * * After a good second in the cup Sir I Guy was .allowed to pay a useful price in the Farewell Handicap. Donald I drove him vigorously to win by half a head. Zealous led for a long way in th« cup and in tho Farewell was out first from barrier rise till tho last few strides, where Sir C.uy headed her. Great Author was the unlucky horse in the cup. IT© went away tangling, and getting n bad position later struck ! trouble, getting clear at the half-mile j post to make a strong finishing eifort j in third place. i All Red. favourite, was never well placed in the cup, but was showing up over th© final stages into fifth place ♦ * * Glenrossi© won tho big race like a real good one. Judiciously handled he took charge when Zealous cried enough and never looked like getting beaten. _______________
