HUIRANGI SUN WINS AGAIN

Indian Sport Takes Open Sprint Dominion Special Service. HASTINGS, August 7. Conditions were unpleasant at the Hawke’s Bay Hunt meeting held at Hastings on Saturday. The weather was overcast with a keen wind. The track was in good order, and the attendance fair. The totalizator handled £18.127. compared with £17,530 last year, an Increase ol £597. , . Two riders sustained slight injuries in the jumping events. B. Ropilia, who rode Lucullus Boy in the first race suffered an injured thigh, and P. Wiilsh, riding Oxyopia in the steeplechase, received slight injuries to his back. The Otane Hurdles resolved into a race for the minor money as Flying Spy, always in or near the lead, outclassed the field. Star Zone and Silver Clarion both went with her in the early stages, but drifted, and Circular Note and Half Casto finished on better than the others. Though Sandy Cape was placed fourth. Pompit actually filled that position. . The big field in the Okawa Maiden spelt disaster to those drawn wide. Sanger was soon in front with Captain Jesse from Gold Quest, Fescue, Marram, Pennyroyal ana Snorting Gold, the two last-named wide out. Sanger had charge turning for home, but was challenged by Marram, and Loya Heir who was not prominent early. Roym Heir finished well to beat Sanger by half a head, giving au impressive i»erfoiTna n «tc. Marram was third. Sporting Gold fouitli and Pennyroyal best of the others, Wfna began slowly. ' Only three horses completed the course in the steeplechase. Huirangi Sun was a class above the others and had the race won a long way from home. Smoogev who finished second, made up S r , ona<l the final circuit, while Acrobat had eiciy C ' lii the Orlugi Hack Cup. Peter’s XX ife was the early leader, showing the way to Cheap Lodging, War Credit, Crucible, and Re "al Night. Before entering the straight Sir Fox. who was wide out early, raced around the field to assume command, on straightening up Regal Night stayed on better, boating Crucible, who just headed XVar Credit on the post. Sir Fox was fourth, and Cheap Lodging next. The Sontra Handicap for amateur riders was won well by Epping. Greek Effort and Lucullus Boy made the pace for Arabic, Taane Pango and Astute. Epp n, move.l up on the turn and trailed Astute into line with Arabic challenging. Et>nnU staved on well anil won attractively from Arabic, with Astute third, and Bonnie Scot, finishing well for fourth. The favourite, Taane Pango, finished fifth after having e 'Tmdy :l1 Na < ’hieen began brilliantly-in the Waitangi Hack No. 1.. to lead with XX alk Off and Crispin, followed by Lnlaigo. Skyhawk and Sandy Bay. Lady Nah eon still had charge down the straight, w Ith Enlarge and Walk Off challenging, but just as Enlarge appeared to have the race won Piko Piko came on the outer to uin by n head, similar margins separating Enlarge, Walk Off. and Lady Nableen Boulder Dam, the favourite, -was not equal to the task in the open sprint. A.wavs well placed behind the leaner. LxPupU, he was in distress when Indian Sport lodged bis claim in the straight, an went on to win by a length.
