TROTTING.

NEW BRIGHTON TROTS. BILLY SEA WINS BURWOOD. BAD DAY FOR FAVOURITES. SO .ME GOOD PRICES. (By Own Correspondent.) ( lIRISTCIirKCH, Saturday. The trotting sens-in for 19*28-29 was continued to-day at Christchurch, when th<> New Brighton Club brought off a strong programme. No New Zealand < up candidates were engaged, but there were good fields in all events, and the horses racing were of a class capable of producing a champion. The principal event, the Burwood, was won by Billy Sea. Nelson Boy took the Autumn Handicap, while the mile and a-quarter went to .Jolly Chimes. The attendance was good, and the totalizator handled £24,500 10/. It is impossible to make a comparison of the figure# as the meeting was held at a different date this year from last year. On .March 17. 19-28, also a Saturday, the investments were £24.002 10/. The Star Turn. Firpo broke up at the start of the Burwood Handicap. Bay Nut led out from Evelyn Locanda, Diamond Child and Matagmiri, while Maxegin began well but broke on leaving the straight. Going along the back Matagouri took second place, with Diamond Child, Evelyn Locanda and Bing Boy handy. Running along the straight at the end of seven furlongs Matagouri and Evelyn Locanda collided and fell. Firpo fell over them. Harvest Child lost his driver, while several of the others suffered interference. Bay Nut led past the ? rand, with Diamond Child, Bing Boy, Kotuku .Taek and Vesuvius next. Bay Nut and Bing Boy led along the back, but three furlongs from home Vesuvius and Billy Sea were just behind them. Billy Sea followed Bay Nut to the straight, and in a, good finish Billy Sea got up to beat Bay Nut by a ncck. Vesuvius was three lengths away, with Bing Boy close up fourth. The Ten Furlongs. Tn the Seaview Handicap Mercury and Sylvia Logan broke at the start, while Invader was slow to move. Vikota began smartly, and soon had a lead of four lengths from Aleron, Hackthorne an'l itac Dillon. Going along the back (rolden Bubbles moved up, and three furlongs from home she was following Aleron in the lead. Golden Bubbles was first into the straight. Invader finished with a strong run, but Goldi n Bubbles beat hifn by a length. Mac Dillon was four lengths away, just in ;frouv of Aleron. The Autumn Handicap. Nelson Ata led out of the straight in the Autumn Handicap, and then broke, leaving Elusive, Nelson Boy and Sea Queen in charge. Sea Queen went to tho front at the end of three furlongs, while two furlongs further on Little Johnnie was second, with Nelson Boy and Marvin Junior handy. Little Johnnie joined Sea Queen in the lead at the mile post, just clear of Nelson Boy, with Marvin Junior fourth. Wild Hebe closed on the leaders along the back, and at the home turn was only four lengths hehind the three leaders. Little Johnnie and Sea Queen were beaten a furlong from the post, and Nelson Boy stalled off Wild Hebe, whom he beat by a length; Sea Queen was two lengths away third, with Little Johnnie close up, fourth. The Harness Sprint. In the Dash Handicap Nyallo broke at the start, and High Jinks collided with her, High Jinks' driver being unseated. Mac Dillon led Pinevale, Direct Todd and Lord Bihgen out of the straight. Auditress joined in at the end of two furlongs, and at the half-mile post she was in third position.

Mae Dillon won easily by three lengths, while Great Triumph beat Lord Bin gen by t neck, with Auditress close up, and Carbine Direct fifth.

In the Wainoni Handicap Tamerlane, Granite City and Jolly Chimes were smartest out, and they were still in charge at the end of half a mile, where Firpo, Brutus, Darknite and Avenger were handy. Jolly Chimes led Avenger and Tamerlane to the straight, where Fight Ever joined in a good finish, which saw Jolly Chimes beat Fight Ever by a long neck. Avenger was over half a length away, with Taqierlane close up. The Final Flutter. Flora Golding led Jazolock, Great Triumph and Sunstorm out of the straight.

BILLY SEA'S WIN.

The victory of Billy Sea in the Burwoo4 Handicap, the chief event at New Brighton on Saturday, took the shape of a surprise, the Australian-bred son of William C. being one of the least backed of the runners. Strangely enough hia previous win was in the same race last season, -but it was his only victory out of 21 starts, while the previous season he faced the starter 14 times without winning. On Saturday he was on a 4.33 mark and was rather fortunate in being able to win in 4.35, but he was no doubt assisted by the ■fact that there was a mix-up in the races and several horses either fell or were sufficiently interfered with to settle their chances. Billy Sea has always been recognised as a great stayer, but for a long time he was unreliable at the post and on many occasions threw away his chances by not going away right. At the Metropolitan meeting at Addington last month he went. 4.31 3-5 into third place, and although he was handicapped on 4.33 on Saturday he did not appeal to those looking for the winner.
