Word from Riccarton states that Winning Hit. which was the most successful three-year-old of the season, is to be spelled after a fairly strenuous time of it during ihe pait nine months, starting twelve times for six firsts, two seconds, and two thirds, while ho was twice unplaced, his stake earning* totalling £4780. Winning Hit opened hie three-year-old career by winning the Tinwald Handicap at the Ashburton Spring Meeting, and then going on to Dnnedin won the Guineas after a hard race with Pluto, which he only defeated by a head. His next appearance was In the C..A.C. Derby, which he won comfortably, defeating a. strong field. At the same meeting be made turf history by beating Amythas and others in the Stead Memorial Cup. in which he covered the distance in 2;.\ 1-3. a fresh Australasian record for the mile and a-quarter. He was not asked to carry silk again until the A.R.C. Summer Meeting, when ho fully established his right to be classed as the best three-year-old of the season by winning the Great Northern Derby, in which be defeated Thespian, the only three year-old of class that he had not previously met. This made his fifth successive win. but his unbeaten record for the year was shattered at Trentbnm. where he finished out of a place in the Wellington Cup, and a few weeks Inter bad to putt up with second honours (o I'luto. to which he was conceding :;lb in the Middle Park Plate at Riccarton. Another unplaced performance went against !>lm 111 Ihe Dunedin Cup. but on the second day of the Dunedin meeting he had not much trouble In defeating Silver Peak and Vasllkov. his only opponents In t lie IJuzlPt) Mnrnorlnl Plate. Tin- Trentbani Gold Cup saw htm till third place, behind Amythns and Kick Off, and nL Awapuni he was in 1 ,-lmilar position to Tamatcte and Tliefcpinn :u the Manawatu Stakes, winding up Ihe season by running second to Gloaming in the C..1.C. Challenge Stakes. lnfortuna<«:y for his owner. Winning Hit did not appear In Hie lists for either of the St. Legera. both of which he would probably bavo won. and increased hie stake earnings materially. I TE JIKOHA TROTTING CLUB. Mr. F. W.
