A DAY OF SURPRISES

BUSIER BRIfIUY AT LONG ODDS KALILEE’S FIRST FOR SOME TIME SILVER EAGLE AND INQUISITOR I RECORD TOTALISATOR FIGURES While on the opening day of the Te Aroha Jockey ■ Club's annual meeting the favourites fared well, they ex- ■ perienced a total reversal on the concluding day yesterday V when not a single first selection realised proper expectations. W Both in the Cup, which Master Brierly won at over a score, and in the sprint which Tosh won at a liberal return, the win returns were in marked contrast to those of the opening day. Galilee’s price yesterday for her first win for three years was over a quarter of a century while those of Silver Eagle and Inquisitor were double figure ones. The weather was fine and as the times indicated the track was in perfect order. Following are the concluding results:—
