OTAKI-MAORI MEETING

THE WAKE WINS MAIN RACE (New Zealand Press Association) OTAKI, May 10. The Wake was given a mixed reception on his return to scale after winning the Ta Timi Kara Handicap, the feature event and first leg of the double, at the OtakiMaori Racing Club's winter meeting yesterday. 1716 Wake failed badly at Woodville a week ago, but he finished solidly yesterday to beat the favourites, Reigning King and Deb. Driving rain throughout the day made conditions unpleasant, and favourites fared poorly on the heavy track. The totslisator handled £40,567 105—£20,835 10s less than the amount handled on the course last year. Doubles investments totalled £27,533.

The winning double, The Wake-Berne, paid ’£l37 Is 6d for £l.

Radiate was promoted to fourth in the Waikanae Handicap No. 1, when V. J. Sellars, rider of Ruillant, which finished fourth, failed to weigh in. R. B.
