GREEK COURT WINS MEMORIAL: LITTLE TITCH SUCCEEDS

HUNT RACES

(P.A.) HASTINGS. Aug. 15. Following flooding during the week, the track was very heavy for the concluding day of the combined Hawke's Bay-Dannevirke Hunts meeting, which was held in brilliant sunshine. There was a large attendance. When the judicial committee met after the running of the Kaitokc Hack Handicap the stipendiary steward, Mr. R. B. Lorigan. said he was making no charge, but thought the owner and jockey of the winner, Ace Pilot, should have an opportunity of explaining the difference between the horse’s win and

his performance last week, when he came fourth. After hearing a statement by Tournier, rider of Ace Pilot, the committee decided that no action was necessary.

After running fifth last week, Laucala Bay, surprisingly poorly supported. won the Novice Stakes, returning a win dividend of about a third of a century. The totalisator handled £32,481 10s, compared with £39,296 on the second day last year, and for the meeting £63,544. as against £72,264 10s last year.
