At Christchurch the Great Easter Handicap "was won by the , Trentham-trained Autopay, for whom the success was the first since he scored in the AJ.G. Epsom in the spring. Other Trentham horses to win were Red Sun (valuable Southern Champion 'Hack; Handicap at Riverton), Lady Rene (sprint at Kumara ),I'an^Ebporn- ■Sir^ Pombal, Waratah, and Eminent at Tauherenikau.
