SURPRISE BYARISUS

SOME CLOSE FINISHES

•■ Ja spite; of fine, mild weather, and the : fact -that it was carnival week, only a moderate attendance was attracted to the .opening I day > if, the'; _;;Wanganui Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting yesterday. The ..iraqfcy'vrar:-ui/-«c'elle'nti-.-ordffl' t - and the racing;;'notwithstanding * small-fields, was keenly contested, but' there "was*never overmuch* eitlmsiasm. in the betting, the totalisator having to squeeze the last shilling" out of investors to reach the total it did> For the day the investments amounted t0:^6022,;.a decline) rof £777 on the " £6799 put through last year."

He was dying at .the;poat,' and in another stride Wasteland/would have been his victor.

Arena;, Wasteland was'- A' : short 'two'lengths' behind at thestraight entrance, then pounced on him below ihe ■ distance, but he hung on 311 st long enough to win by rather less than the official, half-head, margin. Arena was three. lengths 'back third, with Welcome liv finishing on next. ■■', Although so hard pressed at; the end to Bold the race,; Diatomous certainly took all the-honours, for he was meeting Waste land at" 291b. worsen than weight-for-age ■figures; He is a brilliant colt, but does not look like ever being anything except a sprinter. Wasteland,'starting well, was ridden" as perfect a race as could be .wished; Welcome Lv was left standing at the'start, and! Hark Forrard also began poorly. ■ '■'-■' '■': '": • • ' . ' GREEN. LINNET FIT. There was even betting on the four-horse Tayforth Handicap, and the issue was closely; contested. Green Linnet lay in behind Bayacre and Ganpat till reaching the straignt,= then raced to the lead, finally comfortably withstanding a challenge from the favourite, ■ Royal Bengal, by a good neck.-. ; t The winner'has been' improving steadily lately,, and she was looking better than, ever she has when paraded yesterday. Ypitrerode his characteristic patient race in behind, but she might have won even if differently handled, for-she is undoubtedly a Very fit mare at present. Royal Benfal came home strongly from the back, ut once he got to Green Linnet's girth he was permitted to creep up no further. Ganpaf^ was a: good third, jubt over a length away, ana Bayacre, who raced generously/ was right up. v ■ ' EASY.FOR MORRATH. Morratfi, ; the half-sister rby Tea Tray to Piuthair, Qlarinda, :and Noyar, has been a long time in approaching the form shown by "her 'well-performed relatives, but she produced a good effort to win the Victory Hack Handicap, an apprentices 7'event, decisively "by-Ja -couple of lengths. .As she scored, well at Ashhurst at her previous start it looks as if'she may now be acquiring the-abiUty that has always been expected ifrdm her.. She carries the colours of the Awapuni triiinor, R. E. Hatch, and was ridden by a stable apprentice, L Faulkner. , , . Navaho led her for half a mile, but then dropped out of It, and, left in front, ■he was-not seriously endangered by either Payistock or Arikitea, the only pair near her as "she turned for home. Davistock

was an-easy second, four-lengths: in front pt Ankitea, who: niet trouble early and had to drop to the rear. ' '. ■; Navaho's two readjusted stirrups slipped shortly after the start, falling to the ground,: and ■ lys ■ rider was puHing ■ him in for the next- half-mile. • Beaconsfield failed completely to stay. : : :.

SENSATIONAL FINISH,

~The Plying Handicap provided a sensational finish, five horses crossing the line with only, half-heads separating?them: The winner among theui was the little-fancied Ansus,. who had -not.raced since a cdiiple of> starts at the1 Auckland Summer Meetingj: and thus caught■ the general' public off' thejalert.:1 The' hot favourite/View Halloo, who , was , just, behind the line sixth,, looked ,the unlucky runner, finish-ingwith-a characteristic, burst--from the back; but-being unable to get" through -the leading phalanx;' '"■'•'..'-' : ■' ; . Aston, Royal' Routine; and Pomp raced together to the straight, where Arisus had moved up from last except for the favourite to be a handy fourth. Arisus and Arvada joined isstie' witH the leaders on the outer,' and 'in'-a -head"and' head finish Arjsusj just; won from Pomp, with Ast,pn, Royal; Routine,'iarid , Arvada.all right up in that .order' next, aid View Halloo just behind :on ; ,their quarters. . __: It'was a great race in which any of the first? six might' have; been the winner with the smallest, element: of luck.' Had "the leaders *not stretched across the course, View Halloo would probably have'beaten them all with-his usual fast run down the outer. ' ■ •'••*. ■ •■■ •■: : , ..■

IN HIS- OLD COLOURS,

The Auitiahnn bred Haulbowlme was ieeeiyed back by his foimer ownci-lrainei, I n tl. ew> from a disappointed lessee, K. Johnson, after failing at the recent Wellington Meeting, and he won the | Petre Hack Handicap easily foi him in 1 his fiist start again in his old colouis. It was a very decisive \lctoly, as he jump-1 ed out cleai at the start, and nothing ever got near him His lidei wis look ing lound to see where the otheib weie in the sliaight At double figuies stiaight out, he paid much the best dividend of ' the day. 1 Clangor, who was two and a half lengths away second,' be it the best of the otheis, Pe-chiera, by five lengths. He ' was second with Gold Gleam behind the winner most of the way, and he left the lest in the stiaight. Peschjera ran ovei a beaten lot for the only third place dividend during the day, and Nebulae, who did not begin too well, was close up fourth. Bonnie Vale, Gold Gleam, and Dakai weie ne\t.
