Astute Destroyed: Astute, a four-year-old gelding by Defoe from Misgovern, broke a leg during the running of the Wereroa Handicap at Otaki, and was destroyed. Withdrawals: The defections from the New Zealand Cup were Royal Lancer, Happy ’.Ending, All Night, and I Piastre, and from the Stewards’ Handicap, Clarice, Compeer, Daljarrock, Night Lancer, and Notary. Rehandicapped: After successes on Saturday, Battledress was rehandicapped from 8.5 to 8.11 in the New Zealand Cup, and Monetary from 7.13 to 8.1 in the Stewards' Handicap. Oaks Candidate: Caithness won so well over seven furlongs at Otaki on Saturday that she will come into favour for the Oaks Stakes at Riccarton on the second day. She is also engaged over a mile on the same day. Caithness is owned by the successful P. Louis, and is trained by H. Telford. She is by Tiderace from My Own, so she is bred the right way to stay. Brilliant Win: Tara King accomplished an excellent Derby trial when he won the open sprint brilliantly at Otaki on Saturday. Tara King was eight places back at the half mile, and ran very wide turning for home, but once straightened up he buried the others for speed. This horse, who won the Wellington Guineas, will be ridden by his trainer, P. Burgess, at Riccarton. Favourites Fail: Gay Lally, favourite for the Waikato Cup on Saturday, was finishing on in fourth place. Tweedsmuir, the winner, was having his third successive victory. Balfrdn, favourite for the open sprint, was never in the picture. The winner, Belle Fox, who was having her first start after a long spell, won easily and returned a dividend «of over £6O. Foxsen. winner of the Claudelands Handicap, returned a win dividend approaching the double century. Return to Form: Battledress, who was the champion three-year-old of his year, returned to form with an impressive victory in the Levin Handicap, and he will not lack friends in the New Zealand Cup on Saturday, despite the penalty he has received. He ran right away from his field in the concluding stages. Gladynev was another to impress. He was finishing on in second place, and such a proved stayer must be accorded the best chance he has yet. had of annexing the big two mile handicap. N.Z. CUP DAY. FIELDS FOR SATURDAY.
