The raring throughout was or a high standard, this factor being assisted by tho slate of the course, which was in splendid order for this time of the year. The his race or the programme, the King Country Steeplechase, provided a tine ilnlsh between Diamond and Roxy, the latter prevailing by four lengths. Grateful won the open mile in attractive fashion, while Pusa Moth wrested sprint honours in a blanket finish with Tooley Street and Gold BIIS‘Slon. The locally-trained Allegretto. hav—ing only his second race over country, confirmed the good impression he had been creating in his schooling efforts 0! late while Modern Maid lowered the colours of Benighted in the Waikato Hurdle Race to return double figures.
