RACING AT PAHIATUA

LA POUPEE'S MAIN EVENT

SEVERAL SMALL FIELDS

(Special to "The Evenlnu Post.") PALMERSTON N., April 5. . Favourites won half the programme on the first day of the Pahiatua ltacing Club's Annual Meeting today, but. some ■ of the fields were very small, and'in three of them the.place machine was not oper- ( , ated. The weather was fine, but became cold after the first few races. The track was' easy following recent', rain. The, totalisator investments amounted to £3922 10s, a. decline of £735, on the sum,put through -last,, year, when the meeting was held, in January. ; .•■;■■•' FAVOURITE IN CUP. ■La Poupee, backed down to' a solid favourite, proved a good thing in the Pahiatua Cup. After following Capetown to the straight she raced to the lead, and went on to score with ease by nearly a length from Full Mark, who just headed: Lady Pam out of it. The winner ■ seems to have found her suit at last in middle-' distance races in which the opposition .is, not too strong. It was her third recent' success in such races after having been off: the winning list for over t\\. years.- ;

'), The President's Handicap, the day's open; sprint, was contested by only two-,run-; ners. Sir- Pombal, just half as well backed as Souchong, was the horse allowed to wait till in;the straight, and, when he challenged, Souchong put up only a brief resistance. . . .

.Wtou, lcsencd for tlio Ekctabuna Han-1 die ip, lun o^er £e\en fuilonga, waa made a shahtly better fa\ounte than Lady Spy in a three-home held, and he Jed all the to win by the best pait o: a length. This lush bled mnc-year old continues to pay his way, and he has now won J52353 in stakes, of which £273 has been earned to date this season, lie has won three , times and been placed four times at^ his last seven, gtarts. • THE MINOR EVENTS. Lalla Qucx,. the Winner, at a. good price, of the Maiden Race, had had only five pieMoua starts, -and this was her first money-earning efiort. ;aae\]s a well-bred three-year-old filly by Lord Quex from the Fciamoiz maie Lalla Eopkh, dam of Othon, Poetafcte:, and Ridgemount,. and she was purchased by her owner-tiainer, R. Gicsoiy, who also owns Lady Spy and KojaL Dash, for 50 gmneafi at the Stead di&persal sale. She has requned settling down, but now she has become quiet «ho should be a useful hoise. Mum, the fay ouiite,-was decisively beaten into eecond place, but suffeVed flora a bump fiom Culliia when the latter bled and stopped Speed, atter hn excellent lecent eftorts, was the natmal favouute foi1 the Ballance High weight, and'after being rescued till the straight, won narrowly from Juggle, who coveted extia giound that may have cost her the race. Lady Ronald won the Konini Hack Handicap very easily. Foreign Queen and Golden Chant led her ; j the straight, hut from ■ that point «he made no race of it, sconntf by a couple of lengths fiom Golden Chant, with An on finishing well only a-head, away. Apemometei, the favouute, Was disappointing. The Tientham-tiained Cape Fair, canymg (ilb overweight, caught the public una«aies in the Ilaniua Hack Handicap jtd^insr njore geneiously than usually she went to the front at once, and managed to keep the pac« down. She disposed of s.eveial challenges In the home run, and ■^coLcd by awieck fiom Grand Lahu, who was going better, than anything at the end. Prewouslv the winner had a habit of getting hei tongue over her bit, but for which elfe might have Won m6r4 often than she has. , ' Gvumpyjed all the way to win the Makun Hack handicap comfottably. Ihis three year-old daughter of Lucullus has not done much pacing lately, being *he outsider of the -field at Napier her only recent-«tait, but she pioved eauicr in /the season with a couple o£ winning effoita that fche was the makings of a speedy aud useful eoit. Golden Shadow, who lo'-t seveial lengths at the rtait, did well to finish third. Lackston, the second horse, finished wide out. RESULTS IN DETAIL.
