TRENTHAM RACES

■ A RECORD CROWD STEEPLECHASE WON BY FIRST LINE SLOWCOACH WINS WINTER HURDLES r 0 The Winter Meeting of the Wellington e Racing Olub opened in fine weather and s before a record crowd. Prominent suortsmeii from all parts of i the Dominion were present, including the J veinbers of the Racine Conference and • the Country Cluljb' Association. e Tho racing was full of surprises. i""l • big returns were tho order of the day. s After tho ineloriouß exhibition of Slow- - coach in the Steeplechase bis owner doJ cidod to start him in tho Winter Hurdle, e The public did not want to back tho un- . reliable gelding, but to tho surprise of j all he took a prominent nart over the last mile and won easily. He was ridden " by a stable hand, who got more out of him than did his more experienced rider. r The Judicial Committee held an inquiry " into the circumstances of tho scratching ■ of Lochclla for the Steeplechase, and after 3 hearing the evidenco of the trainer it X was decided to take no action.' Secretary A. E. Whytc and lub assistant, a Mr. J. Grimths. had cverythinß in smooth j working order, and the last race, which j waß timed to start at 4.11 p.m., was only . a few minutes after this time. The train arrangements wero entirely 3 satisfactory, arid everybody was able to ; get a Beat. The totalisator worked well, t and thero were no delays in that departf mcut. Durint: the dav the sum of £69.489 was D handled, which is an increase of £ii,ai on last year's opening day. Sir Agnes, Signysiau, and Chummy waß ' the way tho public fancied the runners in the opening event. Alteration, Tempo, ■' Retard, and Strangeways being scratched. - At the Btart Otauru Kid, Meltchikoff, and 3 Signyßlan led Sir Agnes, Falstalt and a. 1 packed field. Down the back Golden Pei tal and Mcntmore becamo prominent, , while Sir Agnes and Mstall lost ground bv faulty jumping. Across the bottom . Signysian fell back and Otauru Kid and , MoltchikoH were joined by Ethiopian, ihe two jumped the last fence together, and , in the run home Meltchikofl got the best of it and won by two lengths from Etluo--1 pian, with Otauru Kid the same distance 1 away. Chummy, Sir Agnes and Kerehono 1 were next. . Itetaua and Arran were withdrawn from the Stewards' Handicap, leaving twentyD two runners. Hymarty and Sweet Tip--9 pcrary wero prominent across the bottom a but Hymarty was. clear entering tho straight. Hymarty was tackled by Arch Salute and Bo Peep at the distance, and , the top-weight came away and won nicely 1 from Hymarty, who had to be ridden out . to beat Royal Exchange and Tanio-a-rpa, ' who finished within heads of each otner. Arch Salute and Prince Oharlerol wero 1 clobc up. , a V • The public mndß Sturdee and Ormesby their selections in the Hack Steeplechase, 3 and they filled the places. Sturdee was always prominent, and taking charge a - mile from home, be never looked like get- . ting braten. Ormesby ran to him at , the last fence, hut his rider tried for . the rails and had to check his mount. He was only half a length away at, the finish, l'awercwcro was always prominent " and finished third, followed by Southland, 1 Bill, and Graftclla. Ngakanui and To loa ■ fell, and Master Webstor ran on. Backers only wanted Listowel and All s Oeriso in the Trial Plate, but a surprise i was In store, for the. Napier trained Battle Knight canilv prevailed at_the iwum ' from the favourite, with Miss Elva third. 5 Halifax was fourth, and Princess Marion noxt. The two latter were prominent behind Listowel entering tho straight, but , they failed in the run home. 1 Lochella, who was withdrawn at 10 a.m. 5 on Tuesday, was the only defection from the Steeplechase. Slowcoach Baw a. very 3 short price on the machine. Supporters ' of Gladful were Boon out of suspense- aB ho lost his rider at the third fcuco. The l bracketed pair, Focman and First Line, made the early running, with Wirokino r handy. John Bunny's rider ost lub stirrups, and the'norae was pulled up after gongUialf a mile. At the water jumn ; the bracketed pair led the favourite but soon alter the Australian-bred gelding 1 turned sour and no efforts of his rider. 3 could getMiim to continue in the race. With a mile to go Wirokino fell. Iho ! bracketed pair were now well clear of [ Notability. Foeman led to the last fepce, t where First Line took charge and won by two lengths. Notability was i furlong 1 away, and Harbour Light waß the only 1 other to finish. Tho winner was loud y . cheered on returning to weigh in. He was " bracketed with the runner-up. . Biirrangong, Royal Star, and Night- ' raider, who are held up in tho south, • were the only_scratchinga for the Parliamentary Handicap. It m »,'?rcat„„b';t----5 ting race, Gold Kip, Red Ribbon, Tame 1 Fox, and Dainty Step all being well backt ed. At the Btart Arran led Goldshlne and 3 Bagdad, with Tame Fox in command of ) the others. Down the bijek tho positions i were much .the same, but All Over and i Gold Kip moved up to the, leaders, livo , furlongs from homo Arran retired. Roso Pink ioined Goldshlne and the pair were • first into the straight. Tame Fox finished ■ well, but Rose Pink had a lot in reserve 3 and won by a couple of lcngtnß, while 5 Tame Fox beat Utuwai by a head. Goldshine was the same distance away in - fourth place. Dainty Step ran a fair race, i but Sir Fanciful failed badly. _ Ijochella was a. good favourite in the l Winter Hurdles, Oniahu, Fisher, and Kohu ■ being withdrawn. Coldstream made tho 3 running for six furlongs, when Ladoguer took charge, but tho field waß bunched i going out of the straight. Down the back Ladoguer led Slowcoach, with Kauri King " and Thrace handy of the others. Across r the bottom Lochella moved up and ho iumped the last fence with Slowcoach, but the latter had most pace on the flat and '- won by two lengths. Thraco was five t lengths' away, and then came Kauri King, e There was prolonged hooting from the l' crowd after the race, but tho stipendiary 1 stewards were satisfied to take no action, r Yitella was the only scratching for the Te Aro Handicap, twenty-three horses go- »' ing to the post. The public .was divided In its opinion, and many of ihe runners came in for hig support. When the machne closed there was a pool of over EII.OOO. At the start Red Signal led Kareao and a. hunched field, with Lord Astolat prominent. Half way un the. straight the leader compounded and Prince Hal f took charge. He appeared.to be winning v easily, but Molyneanx came fast and got lip in time to win by a. length. Scrap o r Paper finished fast in third place. Bed 1 Signal was fourth. The winner was aIBO " successful at Hastings. He has now. won 1 five races for his owner, who purchased ! him cheaply from Mr. G. D. Greenwood.
