NEARLY HANDED AWAY

Huntingdon overcame the disadvantage of the outside marble by beginning brilliantly in the Horetaunga Handicap, and leading all the way. He was well clear ot! Tahoma, Slippery, Navaho, Kaihoro, Chopin, and Lady Hpy at 'the straight entrance, and half way down the running looked like winning by lengths,, but his rider (C. Thomson) eased off on him, and in a sensational last few yards Navaho .just failed by half a length to overtake him. Apparently he stopped much more quickly than Thomson anticipated. He is back in his best.form, and is likely to win again very soon. , . , , Xavuho, always prominent, finished with a fast burst of speed ,that nearly gave his backers a win dividend that he was not entitled to on merits, so iar as Huntingdon was concerned at least, though he was decidedly superior to the remainder of the' field. Slippery1 was actually the first to begin, and was among the first three all the way, finally finishing a good third.- Chopin came home resolutely into fourth piace, and was iollowed by Cuticle, Paleta, Tahoma, Lady Spy, and Kaihoro. Curie, a hot favourite* on the win machine, met interference when going well at the end ot a. furlong, and was knocked back. , The totalisator handled £4001 for the day, comp'arcd with £5574 for the oneday meeting on Saturday last year.
