NOTES ON THE RACING [THE PRESS Special Service.] WANGANUI. September 21. Juvenile Handicap The two-year-old race was won comfortably by' Foreign Coin, by Lackham from Foreign Queen, who was having her first, race Although drawn 14, she was one of the first to get going, and in spite of running wide in the straight she was always the winner from Par Avion, by The Ringmaster from Damans. , The latter got a good run through on the rails when the leaders left the fence ( and put up a creditable performance for a first start. Prince Plato, who entered the straight with the winner and ran out widest of all, was a fair third, with Flcche d'Or fourth. The Open Sprint The Railway Handicap was won decisively by Saxon Tor. Always one of the leaders, he had his stable-mate Footloose to keep him near the fence on the turn, and he then drew ahead. Amigo, who moved up in behind them on the turn, ran on belter than the others for second, with a close finish among Nigger Boy, Screen Star, and The Buzzer for third. Nigger Boy covered a lot of extra ground in the running. The Buzzer finished strongly from the rear. Black Robe, ridden by an apprentice. was never in the picture, while Taurangi. after being the first to begin, had drifted right back at the end of halt a mile. Gaelic Song's Success The Marton Handicap was run at 2 slow early pace, and the order of the leaders did not change materially at any stage, Gaelic Song and Noble Fox making the pace, the latter pulling hard for ; a long way before settling down, with 1 Winsome Lu always handy in third place. ; Tills was the order In which they came home, with Gaelic Song stalling off a challenge by Noble Fox. Siegmund was ‘ able to come into prominence early In the running, due to the slow pace, but when it was Increased over the last half- ■ mile he was unable to carry on. Meamea began to go back at the half-mile, while Colonel Bogey was unable to do better (han fifth. Homily ran a fair race to | finish fourth, t
