FIRST MOUNT HERE

A. Sim, who rode the outsider Grampian to victory in the Otaki Hack Handicap at Otaki yesterday, vyas having his first mount in the Dominion and his first winning ride. He is one of the three apprentices T. R. George secured recently in Australia, where he had only four rides in public prior to joining up with George.

to turn for home, but the weight told its tale, and he was the first to weaken, the Gisborne-trained Fossicker winning comfortably ■ from Gironde, Nereus, Hunter's Morn, Tycoon, and Qiuiko. WINS ATTRACTIVELY. The early order in the Coronation Cun was King's Lancer, Werohia, Charade, Catalogue, Mandamus, and Bie Dook, with Soh^. Padishah, and Gay Boy last. At tf*ihreTurlong post Big Dook was rushed up on the rails and led into the straight, but the effort told its tale and .he finished sixth. Three furlongs from home, Padishah began a run and overtaking horse by horse had the race won at the distance.. . Catalogue ran an. improved race for second, while Soho, last irjto the home stretch, ran a ' meritorious third, followed by Werohia, Mandamus, and King's Lancer. Soho was the unlucky horse, but could not have beaten the winner. JUST GOT HOME. Bluffer was made a hot order for the Juvenile Handicap, and managed to squeeze home by the narrowest of margins from Felicitation and Son and Heir. Lindrum was well backed, but after leading for three furlongs was beaten, the hard race on Saturday settling him. Outside the three placed horses, nothing had a chance. HAMARIN UNLUCKY. Trailer won the Akitio Hack Handicap all the way from Hamarin who tailed the field most of the way. Had she been up near the leading division she must have won. Black Fox, the hot favourite, had every chance, but fourth was this disappointing gelding's best. Blue Garter was badly left to be a furlong behind all the way. HOT FAVOURITE HOME. A big favourite, Peter Beckford, won the sprint. He and Lavina were first out and led for three furlongs from Bly Gain and Gasman. This quartet held command until the home stretch, but Peter Beckford's finishing effort was too strong and lie won by two lengths from Bly Gain and Sir Nigel. Gasman had every chance, but weakened when the pressure was applied. RESULTS EV DETAIL. Results were:—
