BADLY BEATEN

Riccarton Contingent Crashes (From "N.Z. Truth's" Christchurch Rep.) WHEN. Canterbury set. out to conquer " the fields of the South, the quartet to do' the trick comprising Thnrina, Trey Bond, Rascal and Fresh Breeze, looked like taking at. -least, a -couple-, but, alas, the best that could be done was two second places, awarded to Rascal arid Fresh Breeze, both belonging to Frank Claridge's string. Tray Bond on her track sprinting at .Riccarton, lookejd a "jacky" .to collar some of the cash m the President's, but was riot sighted at the right end, while Rascal, backed down to odds on, met one too good for him iri the Jockey Club Handicap, the southern-trained mare, Circulation, proving his victor by running hoihe an easy winner with three-quarters length td spare; Fresh Breeze, which I'ooked as though he would not get licked, also met one too good for him on the day, and the crowd lost a few shillings m the pound when the Tractor gelding, Traho, proved his undoing. However, if Fresh Breeze vhad not received the worst of a bad start he might have won.
