The withdrawal of Single Mint left 14 candidates for the Trial Handicap, Nelson Dillon being given most support. with a margin of £7O from Beverley Audubon.

Lady Ebony, Trustworthy, and Dealer. The leader broke when leaving the straight, but kept the van, and' at the half-mile was just in front of Nelson Dillon, the pair being well ahead of Musical, Lady Ebony, and Trustworthy, the last-named moviffg up, followed by Lady Jewel, Lord Lou and Great- Ballin. Across the top the two leaders were running away from the remainder, but Beverley Audubon tired at the straight entrance, and Nelson Dillon raced on to win pulling up by three lengths' from Beverley Audubon, also stopping, hut 10 lengths clear of Trustworthy, which" came in a head in front of Great Ballin.

The nine raided went out for the Ohawe Handicap, Call Boy being a well-backed favourite, but Real Todd was given poor support, being the fifth order with £4OO less than the favourite. All got away well, the early pilot being Nelson Request, making the pace for Tni Bells, Colonel Thorpe and Rebecca. Call Boy was moving well, and soon lessened his handicap, the leading order past the stand being Tni Bells, Colonel Thorpe, Call Boy, Rebecca and' Lady Ena. Going ino the back Call Bov got in front of Tni Bells and held a slight' advantage across the ton. hut changes in the remainder found Real Todd Iving second, with Tni Bells, Lady Ena, and 1 Rebecca bunched together.

The full sixteen acceptors appeared for the day’s big prize, Greatt Peter, the Cup favourite on Saturday, again failing to justify principal support by a big margin, while Go'd Jacket’s shock to the Cup investors was reepated, though not so emphatically, by the little fancied Taipare. Ceding (such a big handicap, Gold Jacket also was given only moderate support. Royal Serene and Tui Wildwood on the limit, and Gold Dial on 36yds were slow away, an dthe loading order out of the straight was High Sea, Peter Grattan, Pageant, Taipare, Tamerlane, Ricairdo, Vesuvius and Lady Joan.

When that distance had been covered High Sea and Peter Grattan were still making the pace, while Taipare had taken third berth, with Pageant next. The favourite then occupied tenth berth, while Gold Jacket waw in rear of tsie bunch. Gradually improving position. the Cup winner was going up rapidly at the half-mile, and coming to the home turn Taipare _and Tamerlane wpre on terms iust in front of Shadowland and Gold Jacket.
