Peter Smith, owing to his good second ! l at the last meeting at Claudelands. was j made a hot favourite but he broke badly \ going out of the straight the first time j and was never afterwards prominent. The ( American horse Langdale. who had his j first start in New Zealand earlier In the j day, was well supported but he never nattered his supporters. At the start ConcllfT Maid and Frank Rolfe broke badly, Agnes Bingen, Scottisli ; Bard. Tommy McElwyn and Hottentot I leading a strung-out neld. Along the back I Agnes Bingen was followed by Scottish Bard and Tommy Mcfitwyn. with John’s Last moving up rapidly on the outside. It was then apparent that the last-named would be hard to beat even though he was being challenged by Jewel Crest. The latter then drew slightly to the rront from Agnes Bingen, but Broughton was driving a very confident race on John’s Last, and a 9 they turned for home he took the lead rrom Agnes Bingen and went on to beat Tommy McElwyn by three-quarters or a length, with Starrum a head away. Bronze King and Jewel Crest were next. The winner paid double figures. Times, 2.51, 2.55 2-5, 2.55 3-5, 2.56. Th* Totaliaator During the day the sum or £23,321 10s was put through the totallsator.
