Wild Fox. after being very slow to move oil. ran a m«dit•l'l'le race to finiiJli ni.vtli.

Old Hill, with some netful form last seaw.ii. was always handy in the Wainui Handicap, and outclassed his opponents oyer the final furlonjr. It was an impressive effort. Minima was never far from Hie front and stuck on well, but Old Surrey. after setting the pace, stopped n bit in tlhe straight. Haughty Winner and lseampai-tir were handy enough at the

home turn,, but could make no impression on t'iie three in front. BrttJii may be improved witn racing. Koyal Star jl. ran a great race after being last away. Boomeiaiig and Aix-lic iving finished strongly, an<i tne last-named ai particular is in great order for early success. Winning Kival began well, l>ut after being well placed in tne straight" failed to run on.

Grey .Night, never far from the 11 out, looked like winning <the Rimutaka Handicap when lie 'headed Harina a furlong from the pant, but just failed in tlie lant stride to st'all oil' Sleeveless, an exceptioiially good three-year-old tilly, her record now- being five successive wins. She was bred by Mi. K. Jl. JS'ewton, of Asli'burton, being by Valkyrian from Cliivairy, a member ol the Lany Zetland family, and she is on the way to the luxt company. Grey Night will have hi** turn soon. Sternchnse cailie home solidly in third place, anil* will pay to follow. So will Harina, a useful Australian-bled t'hreey ear-old. Gi eat Region and Lindrum went well for half a mile, wlhile Cymric showed up early on file outside, but Kahui, a much-boomed favourite, never got into the picture.

Absolve gave trouble at Che post, losing all ciiance and being left, but lie made up a lot ot ground, .bailsman made a poor showing.

"Sporting Gilt was fractious at the start of the Jsnorts Handicap, and when the barrier rose lie bumped into Mittie. The latter lost several lengths, and Blie interference made her winning effort, following a brilliant tinwaing run, very impressive. Density, as usual, was in froiut early, but she tired in the last hundred yards to tlmxl. Her speed should bring her success soon. liar an canfe home Bolidly, putting in a fine run over the last two furlongs, and bis turn is due at any time. Blonde Princess and Submission were always in the picture, Disdain joining them in the run home, the trio being in line at the post belbind the money earners. Brunhild and Gay Parade were in the picture to the straight, where they dropped out. Disdain was a hot favourite, and her performance was disappointing to her admirers.

Barabbas, Raeburn and Indian Sun gave trouble at the start of the Ottol>er Handicap. The first-named was hopelessly left, but the other p'air got out well and were prominent all the way. Raeburn, formerly trained at Riccarton, but now at Awapuni, ran a »olid race, battling on gamely to win narrowly, but he seemed a trifle lucky, t'lassiform came along with a good mn in I'iie straight anil seemed to have the race won a few strides from the post, but ; Raeburn made a final effort.
