Captain Sandy Wins Two Races At Epsom

AUCKLAND, February 27. I Three wins for the Oamaru trainer, 1 J. M. Bain, and the Christchurch : reinsmafi. J. Bryce, with Captain I Sandy, which won a double, and ] Battle On: the defeat of Attack into ] third place in the Alexandra Park t Handicap, and a surprise by Belworth, which returned more than a ( third of a century on the win ( machine, were features oi" the second ! day of the Auckland Trotting Club s February meeting at Epsom on Sat- I urday. Highland Kilt established a < two-year-old mile grass trotting re- 1 cord of 2.20 2-5. He ran the second j half in 1.8 and the last quarter in ( 34 2-5. ‘ Running round the field with a shqrp dash at the three furlongs, < where Attack was hemmed in on the rails behind Maudeen, Black Ma- < chine, and Dundee Sandy, the win I favourite, Captain Sandy, cleared away to win the Alexandra Park I Handicap by three lengths from < Black Machine. Attack, which did J not get clear until well in the i straight, finished fast to be a head : away third, with a length to Captain Gaillard. Black Machine led for half : a mile, where Maudeen took charge, and for the second lap was followed |

by Black Machine, Dundee Sandy, Captain Sandy, Attack, and Captain Gaillard. Maudeen tired and Captain Sandy dashed away to win decisively. Captain Gaillard broke at the start and ran out, checking Attack. which lost ground. This made his task more difficult, but

doubtful if he could have won unaer any conditions. The Great Northern Trotting • Stakes was run in two divisions, the ( first being won easily by Gay Heritage in 2.53 for a mile and a quarter, < and the second by Young Charles, who did 2.48, a very smart performance for a two-year-old. Gay Heritage ran the last half-mile of her division in 1.6, and Young Charles did 1.5. The weather was fine ana the track was fast. There was an attendance of 18,500. The totalisator handled £131,364, against £100,207 on the first day. The total for the meeting was £231,571, compared with £301,855 for the two corresponding days of the inter-Dominion championship meeting last February. Before the start of the St. Andrew’s Handicap, but after the closing of the totalisator, Cyone Maid collapsed and died. Investments could not be returned.
