JUBILEE SONG UPSETS

Form followers suffered a sharp reverse in the' Waiorongomai Handicap, which was won narrowly by the outsider Jubilee Song. For several months past Jubilee Song had not been quite good enough for provincial open class, but on Saturday he scored at the expense of such company by superior tenacity. It was his first success since he won at Foxton last May. . Jubilee Song, though covering more ground than the others, was always within striking range of the front.- He and Lord Moutoa, with Darecourt almost in line on their inner, came into the straight hard on the heels of Fulojoy, who had set. the pace, and though Lord Moutoa held control a hundred yards from the post Jubilee Song ran on the more'resolutely to secure a short-neck decision. Lord Moutoa continues to run good races but. at present he is. Unable to turn them into victories. He and Jubilee Song hail from Foxton and are owned by brothers. Hunting Lodge improved on recent efforts, finishing fast out m the track to be only a head away third. She looks a likely prospect for a race during the holidays. Geitel also was running on well for fourth, but. Full Throttle did not improve his position in the straight. Darecourt had the inner passage open, but though he courageously tried to go through the task was beyond his ability, and he was not persevered with over the last fifty yards or so. Fulojoy, .three lengths clear along the back, stopped in the straight.
