Visitors' Victory.

FAVOURITES UNPLACED.

Catalog i.e and Gay Marigold Fail in Queen's Plate.

The programme was set in swing with the Queen's Plate, and the result was a clear-cut win for the visitors. Cata.: logue was favourite on the win machine, but in the place betting Gay Marigold •was most in demand. Neither got in the places, and while Catalogue had every chance, Gay Mangold spoiled her prospects by being/slow out of the barrier. When the fleH had gone a furlong and settled down into position Sea Fox was showing the way to Epigram, Killadar, Catalogue,* Kiltowyn, Gay. Marigold, Rereatu and Spiral. So they raced along the back and through the cutting. Across the top Killadar was alongside Sea Fox in the lead, with Epigram, Kiltowyn, Spiral' and Gay Marigold following. Into the straight Killadar and Sea Fox still held the advantage, with Epigram, . Kiltowyn, Spiral and Gay Marigold still most prominent of the others. In a good race home Epigram wore down Sea Fox, and won by half a length, with Kiltowyn a neck away. Rereatu was fourth, and then followed Catalogue, Spiral, Limbohm, Gay Marigold and Killadar, who faded ouTin theTtra'ight, The Foal Stakes. The result of the Great Northern Foal Stakes was a complete victory for,the fillies; as they filled all three leadins places. Whenuakura was the favourite, hut he was drawn on the extreme outer, and though he began fast and hit the front he did not run on in the straight, and there were four in front of him at the judge. The winner was Mother Superior, who drew No. 5 position at the barrier, and won well. It will be remembered she defeated Whenuakura in the Welcome Stakes at Ellerelie at the spring meeting. When' the field jumped out to-day- Gay Blonde, Mother Superior, and Whenuakura were quickest into their stride, and as they rounded the first' bend by the old fivefurjong, post, Whenuakura ran into the lead and showed the way through the cutting. Across the top Gay Blonde ran up to and headed Whenuakura, with Mother Superior, Sporting Blood, Pin Money, Burnish, Brown Betty and King Bfterley following in that order. Into the straight the order was Gay Blonde, Whenuakura, Mother Superior, Pin Money, Burnish and Brown v.Betty. In the rim home Mother Superior took, charge, and won by a neck from the ] strong finishing Brown Betty, with Gay Blonde a head away. After the placed fillies came Pin Money, Whenuakura, Sporting Blood, , Day Wind, King Brierly and [Burnish. Two Divisions. The Robinson Handicap was run in two divisions. The favourites were Jonathan, Dollar Prince and the Holly Lu-Gold Pocket bracket. In the first division Saltepray, Royal Dash and Dollar Prince', were soon prominent, and across the top Dollar Prince led' from Arch Ruler. Jonathan, Saltspray and Alpinus., Jonathan took charge before entering the straight and turned for home leading Dollar Prince, Arch Ruler, Alpinus, Holly Lu and Royal Dash. Jonathan continued on and won comfortably by two and a half lengths from Dollar Prince and Alpinus, who dead-heated. Royal Dash was fourth, with Sunny Bachelor, Sandy Dix and Arch Ruler following. In the second division the winner, United, paid!just over a third of a centurv on the win machine. Solomon le.l out .'Cherry King, Landlubber, luiamint. King Mestor and Copyist.
