DUNEDIN RACES

LAST REFRAIN WINS HANDICAP. McLEAN STAKES TO WINNING RIVAL. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, October 6. The Dunedin Jockey Club’s spring meeting opened in fine but threatening weather, but beyond mild showers the card was got off under better conditions than expected. Defaulter lost his race through over-confidence on the part of his rider, and Winning Rival won the McLean Stakes under conditions that will make her very dangerous in future engagements. Totalisator investments amounted to £10,956 IDs (win £5563 10s, and place £5393) against £13,164 last year, a decrease of £2207 10s. Results: — Spring Hurdles Handicap, l|m.: 1/1, Mount Vai, 10.0 (T.
