Outclasses Opponents at Waimate VIOLENTA’S DOUBLE Bandy Boa Takes Hunt Cup Dominion Special Service. Waimate, July The Waimate Hunt Club’s annual race meeting was held in fine, sunny wflntl '“ ’ the track was in good winter order There was a fairly good attendance, and totalisator investments increase !t o „ n J £1125/10/- on last year, being tobv_, against £2676/10/-. The main interest of the day centred in Polydora, who was makm= her first appearance in a hurdle race after a lengthy course of encouraging schooling. She was kept in restraint over the early stages, and when given an opportunity five furlongs from home rushed to the front, and, jumping the last fence well, was then well cleai Adult and Mount Boa. Polydora was a - most down to a canter crossing the line, but was still two lengths in front or Adult, who beat Mount Boa by a neck. This pair were under pressure for the last two furlongs, but Polydora made them appear as only moderates. She hit a couple of hurdles, but did- not lose any ground. Adult made a good showing in face of an e_asy time since his trip to Trentham. Anvil, who figures in the nominations for the Grand National Hurdles, tailed the field throughout, and and failed to jump any fence correctly. Knoekfin was supported down to a short price in the Waihao Hack, but had to submit to a decisive defeat by .\ lo ' lenta. by 'Tea Tray from Lady Violet. Vidl’enta, penalised 71b. for her win in the Novice Suites, repeated her performance of rushing away early, and s °° n established a big lead which bad the rest in trouble throughout. Knoekfin followed her into the straight, but pursuit was hopeless under her big weight. »he, however, hung on to ward oft a challenge by Golden Dart for second. After the race. M. Kirwanjt rider ot Knoekfin, was asked to answer a charge bv the stipendiary steward of not riding Knoekfin out, but no action was taken by the steward. Pompeii, owned by Mr. J. M. Samson, broke a fetlock in the Novice Stakes and had to be destroyed. Fiom broke down in the steeplechase and is not likely to race again.
