FRANKLIN MEETING

SOME BIG DIVIDENDS

STEEPLES TO ST. VVARRIGAL

(Special from "Early Bird.") . . AUCKLAND, July 23. Backers were not always yon the spot at the Franklin Meeting today, and once again the results on this course contained several surprises. . Booklaw was always in the picture in the Bombay Hurdles, and, hanging on better than anticipated, he won easing up at the finish, enabling Killing King, Mia Stella and. Carlaris to finish within halflengths of him. .Booklaw had shown pace in some of his hurdles engagements, but the dividend of over a score was about his right price. Cruaclian 'fell and had to be destroyed. Prince of Orange was not started on account of the soft' track He is : all right, but he may not run in the Grand Hurdles.' •Supreme Court tried to.win all the way in the Pukekawa llaiden Handicap, and was collared at the distancel by both Miss, Lv and Gipsy Moth, the three benW separated by heads, with. Melnnon. finishing on'right up fourth. . .;;..- 'Apparently a race or two over hurdles has improved, Delrain, for he -was lyin" handy; at the home turn mi the Harrisville •Hack Handicap, those ahead of Mm then -being1 Record; Flight/ Morianui, and' Lagoon. w Once in line Monanui • had' Lagoons measure, when Delrain ckme'ifast; to get his head in front on the, post,, to give: a. good.double-figure' return. Record Flight: beaded the others.. Monanui v appeared unlucky to. lose. '■ '■ ■ /;' .•' ' '..■..- ---.■;. Mungatoon.- was slightly better ' backed than Puss- Moth in the President's Handicap and duly won,, having a hard' tussle pver...the;last bit with'.Versant.'.-The lastminute''dash/by ' Versant furnished, a- real' thrill, Mungatoon just winning ' by-:", half a head. Royal Gallant was two. lengths back, with Prolyxo and -Puss Moth' at intervals. ■; ■ ■'■ ..■..:,.. The Franklin Steeplechase:l was-iji■■■ &ni contest, St^Warrigal winning after being ridden more. judiciously than.most, of his opponents. Half way through the,con-; test St. Ames held a lead of halfa; dozen lengths,l when he failed .to risei. at: .thehurdle and crashed right through.::: Fromthis out ,Ruby "Meteor, Golden Wedding,'. St. Warrigal, ' and .'.Mia Stella -were : in' the van,-Uuby;.Meteor being-the first;to. weaken. ';■ The. other three were in dose order at the'final obstacle, and St.' Warrigal finished best, Mia Stella second, and Golden Wedding third. Mia Stella's rider was very impetuous, and the horse seemed to be asked for his final run half a mile too soon. Snow Prince hit a fence hard five furlonga from home and received injuries necessitating his destruction. Imperial Prince fell at the second fence and brought down Luminary. D. Craddock, the rider of St. Ames received a broken collarbone."' . '..'''. • , Monanui, unluckily beaten earlier in the day ; was neglected in the Puni-Hack Handicap, and when she won her win dividend ran into "double figures. Making, the home turn she was etill . some distance back." At: the half-distance Enge Tvas in front, but Monanui wore her rdown, with Bellkyrian a length back.1 The.winner! nearly lost the race when she shied nearing the' p05t..,;.. •-'■'■: ' 'V. i In the Paerata Handicap there was big money for several runners, and one of these, the consistent Imamint, , won. Karangapai made play right round ,to the home turn from,Greek-Gold, Imamint, and Jalldy Karo, with all the others right up. Inside the distance Imamint asserted herself ■ and ran ion to win by. a:clear length from Jalldy Karo, who held" off the fast-finishing Rereatu by a head; Unless the result of the race caused-a,change of plans, Rereatu will fulfil his engagement :at Awapurii next Saturday., -.-.■-.■'£■- ,;'.;.,.' ■.'.- ■ The course was. heavy; There .was ; a large attendance, and the tbtalisator in-, vestments. were £10.363 10s., '.
