Friesland Brings Off Surprise at Woodville MASTERTON HORSE WINS NURSERY HANDICAP (BY ‘'CARBINE.”) Saturday was a bad day for favourites at the Woodville meeting, not one race going to them, with the consequent result that the totalisator receipts showed a decrease. Friesland brought off a surprise by winning the Bolton Handicap, starting twelfth favourite, and receiving the verdict by a length from Baran. The Friarsdale gelding enjoyed a perfect run throughout the race. The Masterton horse Serena, owned and trained at Masterton by Mr W, R. Paku, won the Nursery Handicap by four lengths. The sprint went to Flammarion. At the Hororata meeting Dictate won the principal event by a neck from Gay Parade.
