STRATFORD MEETING

A WIN FOR TAURANGI. FOUR RACES GO TO ONE OWNER. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) STRATFORD, November 4. D. Marks, of Fordell, scored a notable training success when he saddled up five winners at the Stratford Racing Club's spring meeting today. Four of these. Tuatara, Red Cat, Taurangi and Scandal, are raced by the Taihape sportsman, Mr William Duncan, and the fifth winner, Russian Ballet, carries the colours of Mr R. Grace. The Stratford club's experiment of holding a one-day meeting in the spring instead of the autumn proved successful. There was a large attendance, fields were good and a totalisator turnover of £17,688 was an increase of £2322 on the sum handled at the club's autumn meeting last season.
