BIG RACE TO GAN SONNET,

OAMARU, December 15,

The Oamaru Jockey Club’s summer meeting concluded to-day in perfect weather, and before a fair attendance. Light rain the previous night did not affect the track, which was fast. The totalisator handled £8,169, the total for the meeting being £14,870, compared with £20,7365 in 1925, that being the last time a two-day meeting was held on the home course. An inquiry was held into the running of the winnerin the Pukeuri Trot, but the explanation of the rider-owner was accepted. In the same race the rider of Free Pointer, T. D. Henderson, was thrown as a result of the horse stumbling, and suffered a fractured, collarbone. Results:—•
