RACING AT RANDWICK

SOLTANO WINS IN GOOD STYLE. METROPOLITAN GOES TO CAGOU. The weather was warm and bright for the second day of the A.J.C. Spring Meeting, and the attendance equalled that on Saturday. Lord and Lady Denman were present. The feature yesterday from the New Zealand point of view was the mariner in which Soltano retrieved himself. He started a firm second favorite in the Clibborn Stakes, Radnor being odds on. The admirers of Mr Lowry’s colt contended that in Saturday’s race he did not show anything like his true form. He looked as if his run in the Derby had improved him. From the rise of the barrier he never left the issue in doubt, but set a cracking pace, which ho maintained right to the post. Oliver pursued different tactics, letting the horse have his head, which panned out better with such a free goer. Results:— - Shorts Handicap, of 600sovs. 6f.—J. E.

Posinatus improved his position, taking the lead after two furlongs had been covered, followed by Danaus, Emperador, Cagou, Aimed, Gigandra, Hartt j rifarradonga, Tartanus, and Merton -Lad. Posinatus continued to make the pace past the six-furlong post, attended by Danaus, who was two lengths in front of Cagou, Aimed, and Gigandra, who were followed by Emperador and Merton Lad. At the three-furlong post Cagou, Aimed’ Posinatus, Gigandra, and Emperador were the leading division, but Posinatus then dropped out, leaving the other four leading into the straight. At the distance Cagou, Alured, and Gigandra were in tho van, and Cagou came on well, and won by five lengths from Aimed, with Aurifer a length away. Allingamite, Embracer, Gigandra, Belove, Posinatus, Tartanus, and Limelight followed in that order, with Golden Shore last.
