MADE NO MISTAKE

KEITE-HE IS WINNING LIST (0.C.) WANGANUI, this day. The Wanganui-owned Keite-he won the opening event —the Juvenile Handicap— at the Egmont meeting. * The Defoe gelding, well handled tav A. Jenkins, and not allowed to run about, had the race in safe keeping a long way from home, and won by two lengths. The time, 1.1 1, was slow, but the track was heavy early, the going improving with racing. Iveitehe is Maori for Mistake, and the youngster was so named because he fell to Mr. Bristol's bid at the Trentham sales by mistake. He can gallop, and if not over-raced might furnish into a good three-year-old. The Te Rapa-trained Expedient was always handy, and finished close up f °Expellant, in the same stable Expedient, beat a hot favourite in Celebnty in the open sprint, and paid a nice P™ce. Prince Plato led to the turn lor home, when he went from first to last m a field of six. This four-year-old hasnot reached the form expected (?f him this term, but some good races will probably come his way in the autumn. . Frustration paid a good price for w inning the Nolan Cup, but her task would have been more difficuit had Golden Acre had a better run. As it was, the lattei dfd well to get third. First Girl carried the field along at a solid pace, but the Pombal mare was done with a 0 fl From*the support accorded Mamrawa in the Nolan Cup it was evident she w as expected to make a bold bid, but her chance was extinguished when she jumped back at barrier rise. t . Ridden by W. J. Broughton Jonathan Jo was the popular pick foi the Egmont Cup but the Christopher Robin colt disappointed his connections, finishing otv of a place, an outsider in Night Raj winning narrowly from another outsidei in Mahahil. Arctic Dawn *<third) w°uld have been very hard to heat, but tor being unable to get through on the rails im \Var°Effort's win in the Trial Stakes was well overdue. The Siegfried colt had 22 previous starts without scoring. He had started earlier in the day mlw High-weight, being beaten by half a head by Broker's Dream. Ridden with good -judgment by Tommy Tito, War Effort won the Trial decisively, and in a style which suggests that now he has broken the ice other Wins will come his way. The favourite, Daljarrock, just shaded Duality in the Tonks Stakes, but the latter might have reversed positions had he not been slow away. c„nMaw Plato Lad, Embroider and Sunblaze finished almost in line in the hack six. Sunblaze, the favourite, would have won but for receiving a slight check a few strides from the post.

ROEON INJURED There was an accident during the running of the open sprint at Gisborne on Saturdav Roeon and Centennial falling. Roeon iniured her head and neck, and KSeof the damage isnoknown at nresent. It is unlikely that sne win be racing again for a few months. IN GOOD ORDER Although Corot was not taken to the Matamata meeting there is iiothmg' with the brown gelding. The class; Corot has been meeting at Ellerslie has proved a bit beyond him, but he circuit following if raced on the countiy circuit. However, his size will alwajs be against him when the fields are large.
