SECOND DAY OF- C.J.C. MEETING

Canterbury Cup Easily Won By Beaumaris

PIERRE AND NED KELLY OTHER MAIN WINNERS

Beaumaris, a firm favourite, proved much superior to his opponents at weight for-age in the Canterbury Cup,-one of the principal races on the second day of the New Zealand Cup meeting at Ricearton yesterday, Mr J. S. Shaw's champion closely trailed the New Zealand Derby winner, The Vnicorn, to the straight, galloped to the front near the furlong and won easily by three lengths. He was followed home by The Unicom, which beat Felicitous, the «nly other three-year-old in the field, by two lengths.

Beaumaris has now won 12 races and £ 19,586 in stakes.

Pierre showed characteristic finishing speed to win the Fendalton Handicap from little-fancied candidates in The Rip and Arctotis. Trained at Trentham by W. Hawthorne for Mr C. J. McFarland, Pierre fibs scored some of his most important successes at Ricearton. His win yesterday was his tenth, and his stake earnings now total £8955.

The Fendalton Handicap was the first leg 'of the day’s double and Pierre was second favourite, carrying 3090 tickets in a pool of £B5ll 10s. The second leg of the double was the Jockey Club Handicap which Ned Kelly won narrowly from the top weight, Voltaic. Tickets redeemed on the Ned Kelly-Robinfaye bracket totalled 220. The Pierre-Ned Kelly combination returned £63 19s for £l.

Beaumaris was given an ovation on returning to the birdcage after the Canterbury Cup, the race in which he was sensationally beaten last year by Bhutan. C. T? Wilson always had him in close touch with the leaders, and interest in the result of the race as far as the winner was concerned ceased a furlong out The first half mile was run in 54 2-5, but the pace then quickened and ’ the fifst mile was covered in 1.44 3-5. The last half mile took 48 1-5, which could have been bettered if any of the other runners had been capable of extending Beaumaris. The weather was fine and the track was in excellent order. There was a moderate attendance but the totalisator handled £110.852 10s against 105.129 10s on the second day, a Saturday, last year. The second day of last year’s meeting was held in showery weather though the track was little affected. Canterbury Cup After following The Unicorn into the ftraignt in the Canterbury Cup, Beaumaris ran to the front at the furlong, and drew away to win easily by three lengths. The Unicorn was unchallenged in second place. Felicitous, third, being two lengths Felicitous led out of the straight from Beaumaris. Roving Robin, The Unicorn. Jamell, Golden Amber, Super Snipe, and Royal Tan. Just after passing the mile and a quarter. Jamell took charge and led past .the mile by three-quarters of a length from Beaumaris and The Unicorn together. They were followed by Felicitous and Roving Robin, then Super Snipe, which uas a length ahead of Golden Amber, Royal Tan tailing the field. The Unicom displaced Jamell in front near the seven furlongs, Beaumaris being close in attendance. Five furlongs from home, x’he Unicom was a length in front of Beaumaris, with three-quarters of a length to Jamell, half a Ungth to Felicitous, a length to Golden Amber and Super Snipe, then Royal Tan. Beaumaris drew up to The Unicom soon after straightening up, and he had the race won at the furlong. Felicitous was two lengths tn front of Jamell. fourth, and Sifper Snipe wrs two lengths further back, fifth. Royal Tan was sixth, well clear of Golden Amber, and there was a big gap to Raving Robin. Pan Aaltos Handicap Pierre followed The Rip, Arctotis. and Blue Spec Into the straight In the Fendalton Handicap and cut tne leaders down inside the last furlong to win decisively by a length from The Rip and Arctotis. both little-fancied runners. Arctotis and Gayriol were last away, and after two furlongt The Rip was pacemaking from Infatuate, Pierre. Paddy Joe. Detention, Arctotis. Responsive, Blue Spec, Jolly Siiior. and Bobby Dazzler. The Rip led past the five furlongs by a length and a half- from Arctotis. with a and a half to Infatuate, then Pierre. Blue Spec. Hobgoblin, Detention, and Paddy Joe, the* avourite. Jolly Sailor, be ng in the middle of the field. The Rip was followed into the straight by Arctotis, Blue Spec, Pierre. Detention, Flying Sovereign, Infatuate. Arcara, Paddy Joe, Renowned, and Jolly. Sailor. Pierre was reducing ‘he. gap to The Rip imd Arctotis at the furlong, these three drawing out from tie others. Pierre maintained his run solidly to win by a length r»m The Rip. which beat Arctotis by head. Hobgoblin led the others home three lengths back, and ’next th finish were Flying Sovereign. Arcara. Responsive. Paddy ,Joe. Jolly Sailor, and Elofa. Ned Kelly’s Narrow Win / Ned Kelly stalled off a strong challenge from tjoltaic to win the Jockey Club Handicap. •Mttatesman was a length and a half away beating Prawns, which finished welberide out. Revelry. Incentive, antkßobinfaye were slow away; Voltaic being the early leader from Wini<*ad, Social News, find Statesman. Resolute galloped to the front near t h e six -furlongs from Voltaic.

Prince Defaulter was running on in fifth ■lace, ahead of Resolute, Social News, Trinidad, and Castlebrae. Finance Wins Again Finance won the Port Cooper Highweight Handicap just as decisively as he won the Suburban High-weight on the first day. Confidently ridden by K. Nuttall, the Finis four-year-old finished strongly in the straight, and he could have widened his winning margin of han i length from Pageant. Bren Gun lost several lengths at barrier rise, and Man o’ Kent was also s’ow. Kirkella led past the mile and a quarter from Beau Esprit, which was followed by Beau Soir, Highway, Finance and Pageant, Debden. Home Circle, and All Pockets. There were few’ changes in positions for the next half-mile, but Man o’ Kent was taken forward to follow Kirke'la. Beau Esprit, and Beau Soir at the five furlongs. Finance had seven runners in front of him running to the home turn, and Home Circle was second to last. Kirkella was followed into the straight by Beau Soir Beau Esprit. Pageant, and Man «' Kent. Pageant mastered KirkeHa inside the furlong, but could not withstand Finance's bold challenge. Kirkella was half a length further back third, just holding off the fast-finishing Home Circle. All Pockets was a length and a half back fifth, and Bren Gun and Beau Soir were on terms next. 7 Scorned**'Easy Win Scorned proved much superior to the other two-year-olds in the Irwell Handicap, the Trentham filly carrying top weight of 9-5 to easy victory. She won by four lengths from the littlefancied Lord Fort with Montana getting up to beat Milano narrowly for third. Scorned and Infanta were the leaders racing to the course proper, handiest of the others being Milano, Absence. Lord Fort and Deploy. Scorned led past the furlong from Lord Fort, Deploy, and Infanta with Milana challenging on the inner, and Montana, whfch started from the outside of the field, becoming more prominent Scorned easily established her winning margin of four lengths from Lord Fort, which made in encouraging debut. Montana was a length back third, beating Milano by a nose. Deploy was close up fifth, and next to finish were Infanta, Scorned, Absence, and Grenadier. Apprentices* Handicap The Lum finished powerfully in the middle of the track to win the Apprentices’ Handicap going away by a length and a half from Count de Gama. Dissenter weakening for third. Laloma Rua was last away and Gay Luck, which reared and fell in the stalk when being brought into fine, went back to last in the. first few strides. The Lum also dwelt slightly. Dissenter was the early leader, but Sirocco was in front after a furlong from High Spirits, Dissenter, Roanne, Flying Agnes. Hue and Cry, Count de Gama, and Quarry.' Sirocco had increased his lead to four lengths just after passing the five furlongs, but High Spirits closed on him running to the home turn. Dissenters Count de Gama and Flying Agnes also* being handy with Radar making up ground. Dissenter was in front at the* furlong, but Count de Gama and then The Lum challenged and beat him into third place. Fourth, a length and a half back, was Delayed. and there was a similar margin to the tiring Sirocco. Next to finish were .Travesty, Roygl Saga, Quarry, and Lucky May.

They were followed at that stage by Hutton. St. Columba, Passing Parade. Linkman, Lady Milling, Greetings, Dark Courage, and Argonaut. There was little change in the running to the home turn, but Hutton ; reached the front outside the furlong and did not have to be ridden right out to beat Dark Courage by two lengths. Dunkirk beat Winslow Boy by a neck for third, and Linkman was three lengths further back fifth. ■■ Ashley Handicap Spice, the 1-1 favourite, took charge at the furlong in the Ashley Handicap, and though she was tiring in the last few strides She held on to beat Upshot by half a length. Gay- Gitana making up ground In the straight f6r third, half a length further back. Gay Gitana was slowest away, and Upshot took charge at the mile from Albert John. Entrancing. Ryeland, Blue Star, Gay Gitana, Lord Chase, Royal China. Lady Guillotine, and Spice. The pace was slow in the run to the six furlongs, where L. J. Ellis had taken Spice forward several places.
