NOTES ON THE RACING (By TeiCKraph.—Special' Correspondent.)

Christchurch, February ,3. Riecarton vkept: iip' its'-"reputation'to-day for being a poor place for favourites. In the; opening event , strong fa-', vourite in OnflfindM. was oasily' defeated by Guianforte.' Wlio,. despite his : having shown wiuning form at Treritham, was neglected on. .the - machine. Ristori led for. six? fui'longs with- tho favourite. second and Guiahforte, with Genius next. At the. distance' Guianforte took charge and won easily; . Outlander tired badly at the .-finish -and ■ Genius got - a ' bad bump early in the-race,'.which did not assist him. . -' : 7. ~ Tho' Hornby Welter was a good finish between .the placed horses. ' Rose Noble was :first choice. with backers, but ho did not run generously in. the early, part of-tho race though he was lucky .enough to get a clear run on the rails over tho last furlong. -Federal acted as jjilot under' a strong : pull till the straight eh- : trance. Here ho was tackled by Cute, who i failed to ;s(!e it' out. Then. Brasenose'and Roso Noble put: in tlicir claims : and the -•whips were out on each.; erai outstayed .them both, and won by a couple of lengths. : Haj;ch: was 'called beforo the stewards and lined £5 .tor interfering with; Geniusin the first event.' Somo of tho 'riders in the rEce. expressed the opinion that the rider: of Genius was. trying, to get through where ho had not sufficient ro(im. . - .

Fasiiakyle began smartly in tho Filly. Stakes, and; with a two-lengths' , lead headed Lady Reihii and Shinay into the stj-iight.V Wihdglin and Lady Reina then put in runs, but lmd np chance with the winner, who'won comfortably, : The Midsummer Handicap went to Tikitere, who beat/ Gwendoline rather comfortably. Thesa two wore many leugths in front of .the'rest of the ' field. Zetland set a very fast pace for a mile, but

he stopped, quickly after, that. Field Gun had to bo hard ridden to beat Nordolf for third-xuoiiey. ; . - Only , four two-year-olds contested the Lyttolton Plate,; but they, provided, n good race. Tho : public betted, heavily on Countermine,, while .Marline and, Kora rcoeived 1 slight support. , Puaka led for tfcree furlongs, when Countermine dashed to. the'front.: She appeared to, bo winning feasily, but Martino challenged, and the tv;o Md a ding : dong battle. Just, when it. appeared that they would'run first and second; Kora dashed up on the outside and wop comfortably. The winnor: was making-lier-first 'appearance in a race. Flitaway was best backed in theCravon Plate. At the start Perle d'Or and Gravitation were prominont,.. but'with .. two furlongs gone Passion, took the lead, and was not afterwards headed. Flitaway did not. begin too well; but, sho was going,' on .at.- the finish.' . Apart, from the first two horses, the. rest ; of the. candidates were ; in a. cluster. ';. .'

Nothing .yrjis asked for. in Welter, but Lovelorn and the English-bred fillywent out a very warm favourite.. She looked of the fidgety order,'and-ran very green throughout the race. Queen . of Spades-led till the: home turn,, with Luperin nexf.: Here Merry Lass'.assumed the'lead, and going on full, of: running sho nvon very easily. . The favourite, after cutting in twice' in the straight; eventually "was straightened up, and' finished third. . •.......
