RACING CARNIVAL

MANAWATU MEETING. FINAL DAY AT AWAPUNI. Dull but fine weather prevailed when a commencement was made at Awapuni at noon, to-day with the third and final day’s events of the Manawatu Racing Club’s summer meeting. For an off day there was a very fair attendance of racing enthusiasts. The fields were smaller than on the two preceding racing days but, despite this, some excellent racing was witnessed, the meeting being in several respects the most successful the club has enjoyed for some years past. Following are the details of the racing up to the time of this edition going to press:—

There were no scratcliings for the opening event, the Tiritea Hurdles, all seven acceptors going to the post, Bonny Rill being first choice. At the release of the tapes Waioeka Jack rushed to the front, followed by Comedy Prince. In taking the second hurdle The Emperor came down, sustaining a broken leg, but the rider, Caddy , escaped uninjured. Passing through the straight for tho first time Waioeka Jack had established a lead of from eight to 10 lengths, but at the back Comedy Prince closed up. Slump then made a forward move and was with Bonny Rill at the last hurdle. The leader, however, could not be headed, and he went on to win easily by five lengths. Slump was second, half a length in front of the fast-finishing Comedy Prince. Bonny Rill was fourth. Time, 3.12 4-5.

From a good despatch Nine of Spades rushed to the front and, going along the back, opened up a four lengths’ break, Blonde, Purple Lilac, Girribillie and Bon March being next. Nine of Spades was still well clear rounding the bend, but Blonde and Bon March were fast overhauling the favourite.
