FOUR TRENTHAM WINS

MINOR WAIRARAPA EVENTS

There was an. excellent holiday attend 1 ance and keen racing for the opening day of the Wairarapa Eacing Club's Autumn' Meeting on Saturday. This was reflected in the increase: of £1488 in the turnover, the day's figures being £11,999, as compared with £10,511 on the corresponding day last year, despite a drop of nearly £600 on s the principaVevent, which drew a disappointing field this year. The wea,ther threatened to break for an hour or so before the racing began, but it cleared again in the afternoon, which was pleasantly warm and calm. The track was in fine racing order. y A feature of the day's racing was the treble success of T. E. George's Treritham team, all in line. Another Trentham winner was. Lord Moutoa, so that horses from the centre accounted for half the card. The Trentham jockey S. Wilson enjoyed three successes, and P. Atkins rode two of the other "winners. FIRST FROM NEW QUARTERS. Lord Moutoa, having his first race from his present Trentham quarters, drew the acq and led all the way to win the Mokai Hack Handicap. Sweet Music and Collision were hard on his heels running down to the straight, and Queen's Pride bad moved up fast to join in the issue at the straight entrance, but under the fire of challenges Lord Moutoa answered to every call and slipped out just before tho post again-to win a meritorious victory lyy a neck from Collision and Queen's Pride, who were separated only by a short head. ■ Lord Moutoa is a four-year-old half'brother by Acre to a formerly useful mare in Montoa Treasury, and he was sent down to J. Ayres by his owner-breeder, Mr. P. S. Easton, after Ayres had lost Te Ua recently in a hurdle _ mishap at the Manawatu. Meeting. During the past fortnight ho had been wprking exceptionally well, and his surprise win was not altogether unexpected by those who had been watching him. Tho Pahiatua maiden winner Collision was always there and is well worth remembering. QticcnV Pride .might have been harder better placed early. Sweet Music, a big favourite, had every chance but weakened into a inoderato fifth, separatod from; the places by AVarvarirf,1'who came home soundly afler dropping out of a good early position. Royal Kecord and Hunting Bag *vent fair'- races, but Orby's Last,'after a slow beginning, was never dangerous. , "

WALTON RARK'S SISTER.

Chaste, at. another useful price, tripped the favourite backers in the Maiden Plate. She began well but failed to hold her position in the early rush for places, and with half the journey over she was third last. However, once landed in the straight she finished: with rare determination, and she drove past the leaders in the last hundred yards to win attractively by half a length from Evasion and Grand Vizier, who were separated by a neck. This winner is a.five-year-old full-sister to Walton Park, and she is also owned by her breeder, the Opiiki trainer B. Burgess. She has not done a. great deal of lacing, having been of a nervous temperament earlier in her career, but recently she went in promising style. by finishing just behind the places iv two appear-

anccs in maiden company at l'ahiatua. Evasion was running fourth , behind Count Roussillon, Outspan, and Grand Vizier most of the way, but she came on better than any' of the pacemakers in the straight. Grand Vizier looked the possible winner at the distance but was cut out of a dividend. Novia Scotia ran surprisingly well throughout and was right up fourth, with Count Roussillon (whose rider lost his irons near the finish), Outspan, Aperture, and Popette nest. Outspan, having his iirst start since the spring and his first in'the colours'of Mr. J. H. Foreman, was a false favourite, failing through luck of condition after fighting Count Roussillon early for leadership. FULOJOY TOYS WITH FIELD. I'ulojoy was backed as next to a certainty for tho Wairarnpa Nursery Handicap, and so she proved to be. Within the first hundred yards she had raced to the lead and there she stayed, toying with her opposition in the straight to win by a good length, and with a lot more than that in hand. • Earlier in ■' the week. it had been the stable's intention to send the filly. .tc^ Feilding, but, with A. E. Kllis's doing Tauherenikau, plans were changed. She is undoubtedly one of tho best youngsters of her sex this season. She is not over-big, but she is a thickset filly with strength and pace, aud she is as honest as they are made. On her breeding she should continue to do well for her breederowner, Mr. W. Higgins, nest season, and she is distinctly likely to go ou- to classic successes. Shirley Dene, after not beginning so well as the winner, was up second at the straight entrance, but from there she could offer hot even the slightest menace. Lc Graotf, from the same stable as the winner, went his best race yet to be a good third, just over a length away and a head in front of Going Gay, also from the George establishment. Starma very nearly unseated her rider at the 6tart. DEBUT'S CORRECT ABILITY. The hard lot of the racing punter was well exemplified in the Newmarket Hack Handicap. Acceptable looked on the book a really good betting proposition, and so the public decided, but he went an execrable race, and the winner turned up in, Debut, who had failed as hot favourite at-his most recent prior start at Pahiatua'over, tho sa'uiis distance, but on Saturday was fourth favourite at a fine price, his connections having decided apparently too soon that he was unreliable. Debut won convincingly after being in the lead all the way. He was followed to the straight by Dick Whittington, Ahr bey Peale, ;Hybiscus, Bonnie Song, Acceptable, and Pegged Exchange, and without a serious challenge to ward off he scored_ by over two lengths from Dick Whittington; who beat the fast-finishing Bonnie Song by'nearly the same distance. Debut gave T. R.; George's stable its second successive winner. He isa light chestnut four-year-old son of Diacquenod and that useful Bisogne mare Avola, being owned,by the Messrs. T. A., W., and R. Smith, and the success was his first this season, though he showed much promise last.season. Dick f Whittington, after drawing the outer, did well to gain second place so soon and to hold it. Bonnie Song should be due for an early win, and Full Throttle (fourth) and Abbey Fejilc also made useful showings. Hybiscus, first up for some time, revealed that he still possesses plenty of pace, but both Acceptable and Pegged Exchange were disappointing. It is just possible that the long delay at the barrier' was the cause of the favourite's pobv effort, as he had a lot of (Weight up ou his back. ~ STABLE'S THIRD ON END. The. third win on, end for T. R. George's stable cainc when Darecoiu't' justified his favouritism in tlio Tuhitarata' Hack Handicap. Following ' Royal Dash out from the barrier, he ran up to tho leader at the three furlongs, was on terms at the straight entrance, aud drew out steadily in the run home to have a length in hand at the post. Darecourfc has been a very consistent place-filler since he won two races early in the autumn,'and this further success was well deserved. Royal Dash continued jthe' improvement she revealed on the second day at Pahiatua, when she beat all except Big Dook, but the winner was too solid for her. The rest were well beaten, Tupurangi flashing up on the outer from the back in the straight' to take third money off Aussie Ra, three lengths behind Royal Dash. Aussie Ra, after being last early, improved on the turn and then drove up along the rail near the distance, but he failed to,carry the effort through. Grand ■Blow was best of the others, Taumau running patchily after being- bustled into second place at ,the end of, a furlong;. A RETURN TO FORM. I Cawbeen, who was a consistent performer earlier in the season, returned to the winners' list in the Ferry Hack Handicap, for which she was only a feY tickets less backed than the favourite, State Bank; State Bank led: her out and made the ■ running to- the straight, but after a brief tussle the■; mare gained the upper hand and came on to score by nearly a length. ■'- "'''"■' This1, winner is a six-year-old daughter of Hunting Song, and the Wolawa mare Wallaby, and she is a full-sister to Toboggan. She is at her best on easy tracks,and, from, now on she is likely to have these conditions to help her. - ' ■State Bank had every chance, but was just not good enough when challenged. Alby, behind the leaders pnost of the way, was still there at .the close, about two lengths back. .Vinco. ran into third place on the home turn but failed to finish on. Note Issue, unlucky at the start, came fast over the closing section to be right up fourth. Orby's Last again drifted early, and Arctic King was left more badly than Note Issue. ' RESULTS IN DETAIL.
