Dunedin Jockey Club

The heavy rain which fell during Friday afternoon and evening fortunately cleared oft early on Saturday morning, and the concluding day of the Dunedin Jockey Club’s Spring Meeting was held in bright sunshine and before a splendid attendance. The track suffered badly from the heavy rain, and was very soggy when the racing commenced, but the bright sunshine and a drying wind improved it as the afternoon progressed, but times were slow throughout the afternoon, and the Dunedin Guineas has only been run slower once since it was established twenty-two years ago. That was in 1917. when Kilrea won in Imiu 51 3-ssec.

. Though the fields were much smaller than is generally the case at this fixture, some good racing was witnessed, and a number of the finishes excitingly close. The race for the Dunedin Guineas was an uninteresting one, and it is many years since a field was so widely spread out at the end of a mile race at Wingatui. The heavy going appeared to upset these three-year-olds, and at the finish all but the winner .were very tired horses. The success of Tauramai was most unexpected, even by his own connections, and l he is the first Southland-bred horse to score* in this classic. He returned the biggest dividends, both win and place, paid out at the meeting. Mr M'lvor’s starting was again uniformly good, and the only_ field that gave any trouble at the barier was in the two-year-old race. Punctuality was again closely observed, and the general management of the meeting reflected credit on honorary and stipendiary officials alike. The totalisator returns for this meeting were the best the club has recorded since 1930, as the following comparisons will show:— Ist dav. 2nd dav.

Steeton, The Smuggler, and Palermo were first to begin, and after going half a furlong Palermo had taken charge, but it was only momentarily,' for at the . seven furlong post Red Racer led The Smuggler, Palermo, Steeton, and Guarantee. There was no change in this order until racing round the far turn, where Red Racer -was one and a-half lengths in front of The Smuggler, Palermo, Steeton, and Water Power racing in close order. Totolomai moved up racing up the rise, but Red Racer led into the straight from Palermo, Steeton, Prince Val, and Totolomai. Palermo made a good effort halfway down the running, but failed to reach Red Racer, who won by three lengths. Prince Val finished on well a neck behind Palermo, just in front of Water Power. Then followed Silver Sight, Steeton, and Cleaner, with Totolomai last. Time. Imin 51 3-

Racing up the rise, he drew right away and led into the straight by four lengths from Horn’s Reef and Master Reynard, the remainder of the field already beaten off. Tauramai ran up a very easy winner by five lengths from Horn’s Reef, who beat Master Reynard by a similar margin.

A fairly long delay took place at the start caused by Alma playing up, and she started from the outside of the "field. Directly the barrier rose Silver Coat and Silver Sail took charge, and led Viking and Alma up the rise.
