The turnover for the meeting totalled £91,491 10s, compared with £89,895, an increase of £ 1596 .10s. The successful double, Canon and Master David, returned £B2 16s fbr £l.

When the field went out to do its preliminary in the Southland Handicap Defallock started bucking and his rider, R. J. Skelton, was thrown heavily and suffered slight concussion. On a doctor’s advice he stood down for the rest of the day. In the second division of the Makarewa Handicap, Tarsus (N. W. Lewis), which drew No. 1 position at the barrier, jumped out well, but turned sharp left down the chute onto the steeplechase course and took no further part in the race.
