RED SUN’S TRENTHAM SUCCESS

Douro Cup Won Decisively by Aiguille

RULING LIGHT SCORES DOUBLE VICTORY

Second Day’s Events Keen and Interesting

UNPRECEDENTED INCIDENT: TWO 5-LIVIDEND RACES

(By

“The Watcher.”)

Another day of keen and interesting racing featured the second day of the Wellington Racing Club’s summer meeting at Trentham on Saturday. The locally-owned and trained Red Sun won the Racing Club Handicap and the sprint event went to Ruling Light who is the only horse so far at the meeting to score a double success. The big hack mile,/ the Douro Cup, was won by the Gisborne representative Aiguille.

The club was very fortunate to experience fine weather sandwiched in between periods of heavy rain. Friday night :was wet, but the real downpour was reserved for Saturday morning. Trentham then experienced what practically amounted to a cloudburst, and up to breakfast time the course and surroundings were covered in pools of water. Luckily the weather then broke, and the sun shone warmly, while the drying wind soon put a different complexion on the outlook. The main factor was that the weather cleared in time to allow patrons to observe the promise of a fine day. and the attendance was little affected. The going proved a trifle soft, and cut up a little, but it improved rapidly as . the racing, proceeded. Overhead the conditions were always fine, warm and pleasant. The win and place system of betting again proved extremely popular, and there was witnessed not«once but twice-during the day the unprecedented happening of five dividends in one race. This came about in the first race through Palace and Flower dead-heating for third, making four- place dividends instead of the usual three, the winner also paying his straight-out price. In tjie concluding event there was a dead-heat for first between Good Hunting and Slippery. Both horses thus paid a straight-out.price as well as a place price, and the fifth dividend was hdisted for the third horse. The public showed keen appreciation of this unusual happening, and it was the subject of much comment. There was a good deal of discussion after the first race as to whether a correct declaration of - the dividends had been made. It arose out of the short price paid by the first two horses, and inquiries showed that for the purpose of declaring the four place dividends rendered necessary by the dead-heat for third, the place pool had been divided into four equal parts. This was at once queried by those who considered a mistake had been made. They held- the opinion that the first and second horses should have received their

usual allotted share of one-third of the pool, while the dead-heaters should have equally divided the remaining third. Reference to the rules, however, governing the point showed that the place pool mtist be divided into as many equal parts as there are horses in the first three places. There seems little doubt, however, that this is contrary to the intention desired, and it is in direct conflict with a prior that the amount of the place pool available for dividends shall be divided into three equal parts, to be divided respectively among investors on the first, second and third horses. A dead-heat for third is equal to one place, and this is a point that lias to be cleared up immediately.

The wagering was well maintained, a feature bcihg better patronage of the straight-out machine, which registered over 50 per cent, of the total. The figures were : Straight-out, £10.040/10/-; place. £18,920; total, £28.960/10/-. The second day last year was a holiday, when £44,146 was handled. For the Saturday last year, which was the third day, the totalisator put through £32,291.

Favourite Beaten.

< Rocket, favourite for the Highweight, had every chance. He lay in handy to the lenders throughout, the pace • being made by Palace from Juggle, Chief Line, Full Mark. Blacksmith, Saltpot, Flower, the rear being brought up by Jaysdn and Cape Fair,. There was not much alteration in the positions throughout the running, but running for the straight. Flower improved her place, and so 'did Chief Line. Palace was still.in behind at the false rail, but Rocket challenged aud was then in turn challenged by Chief Line. In a good finish Chief Line, who had the inside running, scored narrowly but well. Palace anti Flower dead-heated for third with daylight between thefii and the first pair, and then came Cape Fair, Blacksmith, Jayson, and Full Mark, Chief Line ran fourth the first day and he was a form horse. He and Rocket drew away from the others nt the finish. It was the first race that Chief Line has ■won. He is ownedby Mr. F. Armstrong, who raced him unsuccessfully early. He is now on lease to Mr. J. O’Brien, ofWellington. He was bred by Sir. John Donald, his dam, Marceline, being by Martian from Truce, by Grafton, so he should stay.

Trial Plate Surprise.

1 Cardinal Moon surprised in the Trial Plate,-blit he won solidly,’ although his luck'was in as his hardest opponent to beat at the finish, Kamal Pasha, was very slow away and lost ground. Even slower away was Shining Gold. The early order was Acron, King Thomond; Shining Gold, Bonnie Vale, and Tea Garden. Running for the turn, Shining Gold had gone up fast to join Acron and King Thomond from Tea Garden, Morrath and Kamal Pasha. Into the straight Shining Gold still had charge, but then weak: ened, .King Thomopd being challenged by Morrath, Kamal .Pasha and Cardinal Moon. The latter pair came on best and in a punishing finish Cardinal Moon prevailed. Cape Good Hope was a moderate third, with Shining Gold fourth, followed by Acron and King Thomond. The winner won very solidly, but _it looked as if both Kemal Pasha and Shining Gold were very unlucky. Shining Gold’s form was well revealed. The winner is by Night Raid .from Dollarpiece from Addra, a mare bred in America. He was originally trained by T. Yates at Trentham, tut was recently transferred to T. Pritchard’s stable.

A Good Filly

The January Handicap provided a keen contest. The favourite. Royal Bengal, made all the running, but was unable over the last furlong or so to withstand the challenges of La Moderne and Martian Chief. La Moderne finished just too well for Martian Chief, who was rapidly improving. When they had settled down the order was Royal Bengal. Arrow Lad, La Poupee, La Moderne, Tahoma, Hula Belle. Running for the straight Royal Bengal had charge from Hula Belle, Gay Court, Tahoma and Ranplagh, e Martian Chief having dropped back a little, but still in a handy position. As' they came into line La Moderne was moving up on th outer, and Martian Chief came through on the rails. La Moderne finished best to wear down Martian Chief with Royal Bengal close third, and then came Gay Court, Shatter, Glenyane, Ranelagh and Rational La Moderne won like a good one. Martian Chief is fast approaching his best form, and was' unlucky to strike the winner. Royal Bengal had every chance. Gay Court ran a good face, and so did .Shatter, but Ranelagh vvas disappointing. La Poupee fell six furlongs froth honie, her rider, Voitre, escaping injury.

Easy Win for Fracas.

Fracas led all the way in the two-year-old race. As they came on to the course proper she was' well clear, the nearest to her being Red Manfred, Sweet Agries. and Porotiti. Guarantee was well back as also were Colossian and Safari. Fracas gave nothing a chance, winning very co nfortably from Sweet Agnes, who just headed off Red Manfred, and then came Colossian and Guarantee. Guarantee was never within striking distance of the leaders, and he ran a poor race. Sweet Agnes and Red Manfred both ran well, .although Red Manfred was never doing it like a winner over the last two furlongs. Sweet Agnes is improving. Porotiti was always with the leaders. Fracas showed considerable improvement on her form ip the Wellington Stakes, but it transpires that on that occasion she was very badly off. This was her second

win, the other being also at Trentham, when she bent Midian here in the spring.

Red Sun Again.

Red Sun scored a decisive win in the Wellington Racing Club Handicap, repeating his Auckland performance. They settled down in the order Tout le Mond iii front from Princess Argosy, Jaloux, Joie de Vai. My Own, Red. Sun. Concentrate, Royal Artist, and Retract. There was not much alteration down the back, and on the turn Tout le Mond had been joined by Princess Argosy from Jaloux, Royal Artist, Joie de Vai. Red Sun, with Retract moving up from the rear and Concentrate whipping in. Retract continued his run. and when well in the straight had collared the leaders. He was a winner at the last furlong, but here Red Sun came through on the rails ami drew away to beat him decisively. Tout le Mond was a good third, followed by Jaloux and Princess Argosy. All the dividend payers were soundly beaten in tlic Cup. It did not look so much their improvement as weaker opposition in the smaller field. Royal Artist was never going like a winner, and Concentrate apparently is on the down grade. Jaloux again had every chance. Possibly the state of the going had something to do with the form, but it looked as if Antique would have had no difficulty had he gone to the post. The Douro Cup. Aiguille scored a very comfortable win in the Douro Cup Handicap. He was not very well placed .early' in the race, but in the middle stages he moved up to a handy position, and, coming into line, he was going well. He challenged the leader,’ Navaho, halfway up the running and’ disposed of him without difficulty. The favourite, Beau Gallante, was very slow away, as also were Glow Light and Importance. Beau Gallante never afterward got within striking distance. Illuminate, Navaho, and Court Yard began best and led in the early running from Drum Fire, Ben Hur. and Purse. Drum Fire soon disappeared and on the turn the order was Navaho, Court Yard, Ben Hur. Grand Review, Purse, Niggerhead, and Aiguille. Navaho was still in charge ns they came into line, with Ben Hur, Grand Review, Aiguille and Court Yard handy. Aiguille came on best and gradually wore down Navaho, going on for a very decisive win. Navaho was even more decisively second from Purse, who got up in the last stride to beat Court Yard, and then eame Niggerhead, Importance, and Grand Review. Aiguille won like a good hors?. Navaho surprised, but he was always going well out in front and he beat the others even more decisively than his beating by Aiguille. Court Yard ran a good race and might improve. Purse is running well. Eminent was never sighted, but he drew well outTike Beau Gallante.- Drum Fire disappeared very suddenly from a good early position and no doubt was unlucky. Importance showed up very .well at the finish after being right back last in the early stages.

Ruling Light’s Double.

Ruling Light, always well up in the open spriut, scored her second decisive victory of the meeting. The early leaders were Inflation, Ruling Light, Lack and Arvada, the field being well bunched. Inflation had dropped back coming on to the course proper, and Lack, Autopay, Arva'da, Orapai, Ruling Light and Refresher all showing up. Refresher had charge at the last furlong, but Ituling Light finished best and wore to win comfortably, although not by a big margin. Lack was a good third, Lordly Knight fourth, Autopay, Orapai, The Quorn, and Miladi were practically in line close up. The winner, who is by Chief Ruler out of Simper, founder of Mr. .lHazlett’s good family, was' never doing her best. She is extra good, and a worthy relative'to Gold Light, Razzle-Dazzle and company. Autopay ran a gallant race 'under his big weight, while Lack, Orapai, The Quorn, Lordly Knight' and Miladi all ran excellent races. Refresher has-run two good races, and is a versatile horse to show form as he did both in the Cup and in the sprint.

Dead Heat in Last,

A particularly keen race wound up the day's proceedings, three horses crossing the line practically on terms. Haulbowline, Good Hunting and Beaconsfield were early prominent from Slippery. Gopd Hunting pulled in behind later, and Slippery was the first to head oft the leaders. Just as he looked a winner, Good Hunting came on again, 'i/iile Nebulae put in a run on the outer. At the post Good Hunting had just caught Slippery for a dead heat, while Nebulae was less than a head away. Beaconsfield was fourth, followed by Eupator and Worship. Good Hunting and Nebulae ran well to form, but Slippery improved, and looks like -being useful. Roth dead heaters are by Hunting Song. Worship was backed and -beaten. Beaconsfield ran a fair race, and Haulbowline showed speed for five furlongs.
