MISTER GAMP'S VICTORY

GOENWALL HANDICAP TO

SEATOWN

%By Telegraph from ■•Vedette." The stronghold of jumpers,. Awapuni was once again to the fore at Ellerslie on Saturday, providing the Great Northern Hurdle Race winner in Mister Gamp. The chestnut, turned out in excellent fettle by J. Coyle, gave a really good display, and was uncertain at only one fence, the last. He was helped to victory by the very fast pace set in the early part, this proving the undoing of Red Fuchsia, who blundered and unseated A. M'Donald, and that usually safe conveyance Wiltshire, who leu. me race was run in 3sec faster time than that set by Beau Cavalier last year, and is 3sec better than the previous best. During the past year Mister Gamp has made amends for his lailare last year, and rewarded Mr. E. W Collins tor his perseverance. A. E Ellis who was haviM his first ride on Mister Ocamp and hi# first ride over fences in E nV.?i j°£- pal)lio siuee Ausust of last year, handled his mount to perfection. Although Mister Gamp won comfortably, less p-> ably handled the .result might easily been different. T. Green had a day out in winning the *f°, Principal flat events on Seatown and V*old Money, and he also scored on Standlast, beatown was soon in a good position in the Cornwall Handicap, and Green had Mm nicely p ] acet i in behind the leaders all the way to the turn. Over the last lurlong Seatown fairly worried Paddon out of first place. Thq day was a perfect one for winter racing, bright sunshine making conditions ideal. Despite this the attendance appeared to Be below par, and although well backed horses scored throughout, the totalisator returns of £69,103 showed a deficit of £5358 10s. The track has been worse, but it was heavy enough." The jumping races provided some ugly looking spills, but it was learned that all the horsemen concerned escaped serious injury. JERVOIS HANDICAP—FJRST DIVISION. Kawainga, Archileen, Arikitoa, and Brilliant Light were solidly backed, with Taneriri at double figures. Kawainga and Justify began best, and Roman Pearl led down the back from Justify, Kawainga, Arikitoa, Always, Maori Boy, and Brilliant Light, with Taneriri back in the rear with Archileen. Taneriri commenced to move-up five furlongs from home, where Roman Pearl, Justify, and Kawainga led Arikitoa, Maori ■Boy, Brilliant Light, Just Nell, and Taneriri. Taneriri joined Roman Pearl in the lead at the turn just ahead of Justify, Arikitoa, Kaiwainga, and Maori Boy. Arikitoa, ridden hard, failed to reach Taneriri by a length and a half, with Roman Pearl lengths back. Maori Boy was fourth, and then at intervals came Justify, Brilliant Light, Kawainga, Always, and Flitter. The winner, a brother to Hoariri, put up a good performance, racing through his field with great dash, and then holding off Arikitoa comfortably. Arikitoa, who ran a solid race, and Roman Pearl, who pulled very hard early, might have done better if allowed to run along. She should soon score. Maori Boy ran a fine- race with his 10 stone. Justify, Kawainga, and Brilliant Light were always handy, and Kawainga might do better later. Roman Pearl and Arikitoa look the most likely improvers outside of the winner. GREENLANE STEEPLECHASE. King's Guard, Potoanui, Booinerday, Kauri' Park, and Vexatious were all solidly backed in a good betting race. Maidos and Bobmerday led to the first fence, where Boomerday nearly fell. Going up the hill Maidos led Town Rambler. Uralla, Boomerday, Airtight, Vexatious, Master Arch, Potoanui,. Kauri Park, 'and King's Guard. Maidos fell at the sod wall near the straight, causing Potoanui to lose his rider. Uralla was in charge at the stands, but lost her place going up the hill the last time, where Vexatious, Kauri Park; Boomerday, and King's Guard together were clear of Airtight, Uralla, Master Arch, and Town Rambler. King's Guard jumped to the front at the second fence on the hill, and led down the grade from Vexatious, Boomerday,' Kauri Park, and Uralla. Boomerday fell at the stone wall, and Kauri Park was next to King's Guard, the pair jumping the last fence on terms. Kauri Park and King's Guard drew away in the run home, Kauri Park always holding the advantage, and beating King's Guard by half a length. Vexatious was ten lengths away, and then at intervals came Airtight, King Fame, Uralla, and Master Arch Kauri Park looked a picture of condition, and he had too much pace for King's Gtiard. In addition he jumped the last fence as well as King's Guard, who Tiive a perfect display of fencing. Vexat'ous ran a really good race, but met two performers of some class in Kauri Park and King's Guard. Airtight and Uralla were bothered by the hill the second tune, but were not disgraced. Not enough was seen of Potoanui. Maidos came a complete buster early in the proceedings. Boomerday did not jump well, but was showing plenty of dash when he fell two fences from home. King Fame and Town Rambler went just fair races. -, JERVOIS HANDICAP—SECOND DIVISION. Arihana, Indolent, and Standfast were the favourites in a good betting race. Atapai and Standfast showed out first, and Atapai led down the back from Storm Fiend, Otranto, Camp Prince, Welkne, Arihana, Catapult. Te Money, and Takuranga. Atapai and Otranto showed the way to Welkne across the top from Arihana, with Standfast handy, and then after a gap came Camp Prince, Storm Fiend, and Catapult. Atapai, Otranto, Welkne, Storm Fiend, Arihana, and Standfast turned for home in a bunch. Stand.fast came through in the centre when in line for home, and Te Money and Indolent appeared on the outside. Standfast held off a determined challenge by Te Money by three-quarters of a length. Indolent was nearly four lengths away, and then came Palmares, Welkne, Arihana, Catapult, Mountain Guide, and Storm Fiend. Standfast made amends by beginning smartly and always holding a good position. He had little to spare from Te Money, who ran a fine .race, coming from well back. Indolent also did surprisingly well to reach third place, for he was a long way back in the early stages. Palmares finished on, and Welkne ran an improving race. Arihana was a trifle disappointing. Glendowie, looking bright enough, was always in the, rear of the field. He had a good solid gallop. PENROSE HACK HURDLES. Prince Lv was a good-priced favourite, with Overhaul solidly backed, and a number of others well supported, including Lady Spalpeen, the second horse. Prince . Lv and Sulla led to the first fence, where Prince Lv overjumped and almost came down on landing. Star Comet lost his rider, and Te Waka fell at the next fence. At the stand hurdle Prince Lv led Sleepy Sol, Lady Spalpeen, Ripon Abbey, Golden Wedding, and Horomea, acd Overhaul fell heavily. Sleepy Sol and Sulla fell at the fence near the 6even-furlong post. Half a mile from home Prince Lv was clear f Lady Spalpeen, Ripon Abbey, Golden Wedding, Horomea, and Harbour View Ripon Abbey and Golden Wedding fell two fences from home, and Lady Spalpeen closed on Prince Lu. After crossing the last fence Prince Lv was being allowed to slow up, and Lady Spalpeen almost headed him, but when Syme shook up his mount Prince Lv came on again to win by threequarters of a length from Lady Spalpeen. Horomea was six lengths away, and then came Harbour View and Abbot's Delight, with Frothblower a furlong away. As usual, the race was a chapter of accidents, and it saw the end of Ripon Abbey, who broke a leg and was shot. Prince Lv really made an exhibition of the field, and jumped magnificently.. He looked in great order and a superior horse to what he was last year. His rider almost lost by over-confidence, for Lady Spalpeen finished very well. Horomea ran a fair race all the way. Harbour View just plodded on, and the same applied to Abbot's Delight. Frothblower was hardly in the race, but negotiated the course. Overhaul took off too soon at the stand hurdle, coming down heavily. Golden Wedding may have been in a minor place with a stand up.

GREAT NORTHERN HURDLES. Red Fuchsia • carried 1300 tickets more than the' second favourite, Mister Gamp, with solid support for Roman Abbey and Kawini. . Beau Cavalier went out to set a very torrid pace over the first fence from Clockwork, Cybele, Mangani, Roman Abbey, Red Fuchsia, Wiltshire, and Mister Gamp. Red Fuchsia fell at the second fence, and Wiltshire at the fence at the straight entrance. At the stands Roman ' Abbey headed off Beau Cavalier, then coming Mangani, Clock; work, Comical, Cybele, and Mister Gamp. Clockwork fell at the stand flight and brought down Comical. Roman Abbey led down the back from Beau Cavalier, Mangani, Cybele, Kawini, Mister Gamp, and Karamu. Mister Gamp commenced his run at the five-furlong post, and jumped up to Roman Abbey and Mangani two fences from home, where Cybele fell and Beau Cavalier had retired. Mister Gamp led Mangani, Roman Abbey, and Kawini at the last fe"nce, with Beau Cavalier, Mangani, and Karamu beaten off. Mister Gamp hit the last fence, but came on full of running to win easily by six lengths from Roman Abbey.- who beat Kawini by ' a similar margin. Mangani was a head away fourth, with Maunga, Beau Cavalier, and Karamu down the course. The extra fast pace suited Mister Gamp, who jumped well until the last fence. He put in his customary finishing run, and , was full of running at the , finish. It was a stylish display. Roman Abbey stuck on better than expected, and fairly' outstayed Mangani, who went a good race for two miles. Old Kawini plugged on into his inevitable minor place, just beating Mangani for third money. ' Maunga was always in the rear, yet beat Beau Cavalier home. The Beau gave a /brilliant display for as long as his condition lasted, which was not much more than a ndle and a half. Red Fuchsia disappointed his admirers by falling, but it looked a simple and possibly excusable mistake. Comical was brought down by Clockwork when he was going well Cybele was well beaten when she fell half a mile from home. Karamu showed no pace at all. CORNWALL HANDICAP. Bisox, Seatown, and Paddpn were the favourites in a big pool. Royal Doulton ted down the straight from King Emerald, Paddon^ Eager Rose, Seatown, High Pitch, Hyde Park, Corinax, and Queen Arch, xs-mg Emerald took charge at the seven furlong post from Paddon, Royal Doulton, Corinax, Seatown, Queen Arch, Mosque, Hyde Park, High Pitch, and Eager Rose. Mosque moved up s&arply at the five furlongs and led with Kingv Emerald from beatown and Paddon, with Corinax. Queen Arch, High Pitch, Hyde Park, and Royal Doulton handy. King Emerald led into the -straight from Mosque, Seatown, Corinax, Queen Arch, and Hyde Park. Paddon took the lead a furlong from home, with Seatown finishing strongly on the rails. Seatown finished best and beat Paddon by a head, with High Pitch two lengths away. Hyde Park was right up fourth, and then came Mosque, with King Emerald, Corinax, The Lover, and Bisox in line, next. Seatown. had a great run on the rails throughout, including an opening at the turn, but for which, he would not have beaten Paddon. Paddon just weakened over. the last little bit, and ran a fine race without the luck of a good run on the inside like the winner. High Pitch finished well. Hyde Park was unlucky and struck trouble half-way through the race; but for this he would have been harder to beat. Corinax battled on with nis 9.12. Royal Doulton was beaten a long way from home. Bisox was unlucky at the barrier, arid tailed the field for most of the way, running up close behind tne Placed horses at the end. Mosque and lhe Lover, ran fair races, but not much could be said for Queen Arch, lnursby and King Emerald ran well for a mile. HUNT CLUB HURDLES. • oSi nS v-aa backed down to odds-on and justified it. Odin led down the straight from Taumai, Master ■ Clements, Marita, and- boami. Taumai was in charge temporarily at the seven furlongs post, but odm jumped to the front six furlongs rronr borne, Master Clements having fallen at the fence earlier. Soami fell later on the flat, and Odin led to the last tence, coming on to win' pulling 'up by half a length from Taumai. Tarrapeen was ten .lengths away with Marita and fitomai following at intervals i+u J^P^magnificently and outclassed the field. Taumai stuck on and almost gained a win through over-confidence on the part _of Odin's rider. Tarrapeen is a likely improver in a hunt steepelchase at any time. He is one to remember. MEMBERS' HANDICAP. In the big field of 27 Gold Money was backed down to a short price, carrying Oie^* h J an r that on the second and third favourites, Black Duke and Chelone. Dave, Merry Mint, and Chelone on the inside, began best, but at the end of M w Bll£ k'ns ™s in front from |rt; A=amf ct Duke. A furlong from home Gold Monet Awafere Black Duke, and BihikmT were fighting it out, but Gold Money drew out to win by a length and a half from BUHKeddar Coolmint, and Dave andlut ,?n 6y u?l d, ecisively the finish, Hkin?
