Hosking was presented to the winning trainer, F. E. Loomb, by Mr. L. Nelson.

It was an even betting race with Kildeer ( £448), Exalted ( £324) and Kawainga ( £321) carrying most support. Fiery Lad, Kildeer and Sunny Morn were in front when the field had settled down and along the back Fiery Lad was showing the way to Sunny Morn, Kildeer, Kawainga and Exalted. Sunny Morn took charge crossing the top and led into the straight from Fiery Lad, Kawainga and Blue Bonnet, with Exalted next. Sunny Morn finished on in good style and defeated Exalted by one length and three-quarters, with Kawainga half-a-length further back. Right and Left was fourth with Fiery Lad, Blue Bonnet, Glenetta and Viburnum following. A Small Field. There were only six starters in the Hikurangi Hack race, and Mosque was elected favourite, carrying £483, the next in the order of betting being Bombarder (£463) and Nassock (£383). Brampton and Segment were first to break the line from Illingar, Bombarder, Nassock and Mosque. Racing across the top, Brampton and Illingar were on terms, with Bombarder, Mosque, Segment and Nassock next. As they turned in the straight, Bombarder moved up behind Brampton and Illingar, with Mosque and Nassock handy. Bombarder finished on gamely under prasure. and defeated Brampton by a heacQPwith Mosque a further three-quarters of a length away. Nassock, Illingar, and Segment followed. The Sprinters. The field for the Manaia Handicap was the smallest of the day, five runners only going to the post. Awarere was solidly backed, carrying £784, with Tea Time ( £493) and Oration and Ballymoy 11. each entrusted with £138. Awarere, Serang, Tea Time, Ballymoy 11. and Oration was the order when the field were fairly on the journey.

As the field turned into the straight Awarere forged ahead closely followed by Serang and Tea Time. In the run to the post Tea Time ran out wide, but finishing strongly got up in time to settle Awarere by a neck, with Serang three-quarters of a length away, Ballymoy 11. was fourth and Oration next.
