TAPANUI J.C.

VENUE WINS PRINCIPAL RAGE The we;ither was very hot for the Tapanui Jockey Club’s Meeting, and there was an excellent crowd at the annual races. The course, which has been improved since last season, was in good order, and times were unusually fast. The racing, though marred hy inipiiries after the first two events, was more interesting than usual, and several good finishes were witnessed. Five first favourites prevailed, but only two of them were at odds-on prices. Mr Quinn’s starting left a good deal to he desired, ‘but ho was hampered by a very primitive barrier. The totalisator handled £3,539 as compared with £2,700 last year, when the day was wet. Detailed results : TRIAL STAKES, GOsovs; second 7, third 3.
