Surprise in Hurdles.

FAVOURITE RUNS THIRD

Prince of Orange Has Matters All His Own Way.

Backers stepped off on the wrong foot when they sized the Trial Hurdles field up, and decided the issue to be between Sub-Editor and Patutahi, the former being favourite, carrying £345 and Patutahi £300. Prince of Orange, who won, was entrusted with £134, and paid a fair price. Sleepy Sol led oyer the first fence from Prince of Orange, but the latter soon ran into the lead and was in front passing the stand from Sleepy Sol, Slump, Carlaris, Sub-Editor, Cargen, Town Beauty, Patutahi and Trowbridge. Along the back Prince of Orange was out four lengths in front of Patutahi, who had put in a good run. Slump was racing in third place, with Sub-Editor next. Patutahi was within half a length of Prince of Orange at the home turn, and three lengths back followed SubEditor, with Slump next, but some distance away. Prince of Orange had matters all his own way to the judge and, won easily by four lengths from Patutahi, with Sub-Editor three lengths away. Slump, Sleepy Sol, Town Beauty, Cargen, Carlaris and Trowbridge followed, Trowbridge pulling up lame. Pillow Fight Beaten. (Regarded as. unbeatable, Pillow Fight was hacked down to a. short price in the Guineas, but not only was he beaten, but he had to be ridden desperately to get second. The race was run at a fast pace, with Tea Trader out in front, the first half-mile being covered in 48s. The winner, Gold Trail, was last, but one turning into the straight, !but buried the opposition in the run home and won going away. In' the pool Pillow Eight carried £1340, the second choice, Tea leader carrying £386, and the winner, Gold Trail, £159. Before the field had gone far Tea Trader was out in front from Midinette, Prolyxo, Jonathan, Greek Gold, Senorita and Pillow Eight. Across the top Tea Trader was carrying on in the lead a length in front of 111 dinette, with Jonathan, Prolyxo, Greek Gold, Pillow Eight, Gold Trail and Aesculus racing in that order. Except t'jafc Pillow Eight had run up _ fourth, there was no alteration crossing the top, and into the straight the order_ was Tea Trader, Midinette, Jonathan, Pillow light, Greek Gold, Prolyxo, Senorita, Gold Trail and Aesculus. At the distance Gold Trail appeared on the scene, and, galloping over everything, the Chief Einler filly soon gathered in the leaders and went on to win by two and a [half lengths. There was a royal baJttle for 6econd place, Pillow Eight just beating Tea Trader by a head, with Senorita a head away. Jonathan, Midinette, Greek Gold, Prolyxo and Aesculus followed in that order. The sectional times were: One furlong, 13 4-ss; two, 34 2-ss; three, 35 4-6s; half-mile, 48s; five furlongs, UO? mile, 1.37 4-5. Persham Drops Dead in Shorts. £1 a field of eight in the Shorts Handiest Golden Wings ( £748) was a better farourite than Huntingdon (£674), while Exaggeration (£432) was the third fancy. Backers of the favourite were always on good terms with themselves, as Golden Wings jumped out of the harrier first and led all the way. After the field had settled down Golden Wings was leading from Exaggeration, Tradesman, Gold Day, Tetrarchate, High Comedy, Persham and Huntingdon, the last-named having missed the jump-out from the barrier. There was practically no change in positions into the straight, and Golden Wings won by a length from Exaggeration. The pair were well clear of the others, High Comedy being three lengths away third, followed by Gold Day, Tradesman, Huntingdon and Tetrarchate. Golden Wings was weighted at 9.0, but the apprentice's allowance was claimed, and she carried 8& As the field reached the distance Persham, who was at the rear, dropped dead. Detailed results?—» A T.
