CUP TO GALLEON

First Day Of Oamaru Meeting WIN FOR SILVER STREAK Dominion Special Service. Oamaru, March 23. The Oamaru Jockey Club’s meeting opened to-day in fine weather and attracted a large attendance. The going was in good order but a shade on the soft side. Totaliastor investments amounted to £12,209/10/-, compared with £8915/10/- last year, an increase of £3394. „ , Flame Queen won the Trial Stakes m convincing style from Steer Clear and Netherlea. Fayo and Pink Lad tell early in the race, but their riders escaped injury. w i, Supfrex was slow away in the Hignweight Handicap but proved too good for the opposition. McHeath did not seem inclined to gallop in the early part of the race but came on to finish second. King” Potts was always well placed m the Weston Trot and won in good style. The favourite, Wee Potts, broke up badly at the start. Backers went solidly for Galleon in the Oamaru Cup, and he had the race won at the home turn, where he had joined Rebel Lad and High Glee, who were then in charge. Mungatoon and Linguist stayed on and they got up and cut Rebel Lad and High Glee out of the places but without seriously troubling the winner. Galleon has now won three races on end. Stratosphere dropped dead after passing the post. Dracula was made favourite for the Windsor Hack Handicap and, getting well away, won from end to end. Rabble stayed on best of the others, and Salient Knight was moving up over the final quarter of a mile. Double Gift started favourite in a good betting race on the Stewards’ Handicap. The start was a little ragged and Haughty Winner was first to show out, but’Royal Gallant and Ponty were in charge at the far turn and Haughty Winner lost his place. Ponty and Double Gift led round the home turn, where Silver Streak was closing on them and Haughty Winner coming on again with Roseman. Silver Strealt scored well from Haughty Winner and Roseman, who were both finishing on well. Silver Streak was showing signs of lameness after the race. Cocksure was always well placed in the Parkside Hack Handicap and won well at the finish from Glenacre, New Note, Volo Dale, Silver Sail and Norseman.

1-5, insula Cup he was again beaten by Sovereign Lady. Proved a Real Bargain. Why, winner of the Eclipse Stakes, Bombay, originally raced in England as Gay Defender. He ran in selling races before leaving that country, and at his last start there was unplaced in one of those events at Derby. ‘ After that failure he was sold for 75gns. As the Eclipse Stakes is the most valuable race run in India, Why has given his buyer a great return. He is by Walter Gay out of Fortlet, by Black Jester. Should Pay His Way. D. O’Connor intends the jumper Arctic Star to do his Easter racing at Riverton, with a run at Otautau as a preliminary. He did enough last winter to suggest that he will pay his way as a steeplechaser in the next few months. Brabant Beaten. Owner-trainer S. Garrett plays a strong hand in important races in South Africa. At the meeting at Milnerton (Cape Town) on February 5 he added the Western ProviH.’e Merchants’ Handicap, of £5OO, to his record. His horse Asbestosll won by two lengths from Sir J. B. Robinson's New Zealand-bred Brabant (Vaals—Roselove), whose track work last year caused him to be boomed as something quite out of the common, but he has not fulfilled expectations. Brother to Haerepo. The yearling brother to Haerepo, who won a double at the Ellerslie summer meeting, has been taken in hand by his owner-trainer, P. V. Mason. Benefited from Spell. Shillelagh Wood, runner-up to Nocturnus in the last Grand National Steeplechase, is expected to reappear at the Birchwood Hunt Club's meeting this month. A southern report states that she has built up following a good spell. Kahapa Destroyed.
