RACING AT WOODVILLE

TIGEBISM AND KOYAL BENGAL WIN

A STABLE DOUBLE

A high wind made matters disagreeable for patrons at the opening day of the Woodville Jockey Club’s summer meeting yesterday. Although there was a fair crowd in attendance, the totalisator returns slumped, the sum of £5506 being handled as compared with £7518 for the first day last, year. The principal honours went to the stable of 11. Johnson, of New Plymouth, who presented Tigerism, the winner of the Bolton Handicap, and Royal Bengal, who led the field home in the Oete Handicap. Both carry the colours of Mr A. Lile.

AN ENQUIRY.

After tlio Oeto Handicap an enquiry was held to consider the intereferenco suffered by Royal Hunting. It was considered that P. Atkins, the rider of Royal Bengal, was responsible and ho was stood down for 14 days. AN EXCELLENT DEBUT.

straight. At the distance Carfex ran to the front with Gold Trail coming up on tho outside, and a great race ensued, Gold Trail getting up to win by a head with a gap of two lengths to Anemometer, who was just ahead of tho other pair.

THE DETAILED RUNNERS

Blacksmith was mado favourite for the hurdles, but the topweight was running down his feneos and his fellow Awapuni candidate, Riotous, out-jumped him throughout. The pair were on terms passing through the straight with Ex Dono and Okopua ahead of Manuiri. Half a milo from home Manuiri joined Riotous and they came across the .top ahead of Ex Doi.o and Blacksmith, but the favourite never threatened danger. Riotous was first over the final fenco and in the run to the p ost held off Manuiri to win by a clear length, with u gap of six or seven lengths to Ex Dono. Blacksmith was fourth. It was the first appearance of Riotous in a hurdle race, nr.d he made it an auspicious ono. Taura fell on the fiat half a mile from homo through getting on the heels of Blacksmith, bringing Miss Hastings down also.

HOT FAVOURITE BEATEN

Pladie was installed a warm favourite for the Maiden Plate, with fair support for Acron. The pair had the finish to, themselves, but lack of racing experience told ugninst Pladie, and Acron beat him homo by a head in a punishing finish. From an indifferent dispatch Lackstonc and Pladie took up the running from Acron, the trio turning for home in practically the same order, although Pladie had to squeeze through a narrow opening in the straight. The favourite and Acron fought it out all the way up the straight and in a close finish Acron scored by a head from Pladie, with a gap of seven lengths to Bonnie Vale. Lackstonc boing next. The outing should do Pladie good. CORRECT SELECTIONS.

Tigerism, Chopin and Iluanui were backed in that order for the Bolton Handicap, and the trio observed tho same order at the finish, although the extra distance covered by Chopin meant the difference between victory and a second placing. La Poupee and Shrewd led from Jaysou passing out of the straight, ligcrism being in behind on the rails, whereas Chopin was in tho rear. Atholspear and Chopin improved their positions going down the back, Ruanui dropping to the rear. Turning into the straight La Poupee, Shrewd, Atholspear ami Chopin were in line with Tigerism in behind. Ruanui ca-mc- up fast to join in the issue but over the final stage Tigerism and Chopin drew clear for the favourite to win by a head, with Ruanui two and a-half lengths back. Atholspear was a fair fourth.

STABLES’ SUCCESS.

'J'lie home-trained Gipsy Love was made a firm favourite for the Nursery Handicap, although there was good support for Bon Rapidc. 'J'lie favourite began smartly to lead Bon Rapidc, Silver . Beam and Arise across the top, but the last named ran forward to turn into the straight on terms with Gipsy Love. Bon Rapide came up and with her fellow-stable representative, Arise, had the favourite beaten. llowever, it was only by a neck that the stronger fancied Bon Rapide beat Arise, with Gipsy l.ovc a. length and a-half away. After Money finished well in fourth place after being well back in the early stages. A E. Neale’s stable supplied both the first and second placed candidates, the performance of Ariso being very promising. THE SPRINT EVENT. . Souchong was a single ticket stronger supported than Royal Bengal for tho Oeto Handicap, with Lack also in demand, and the trio filled the places with Royal Bengal the winner. I-aek was the first to show out, but before turning across the top Souchong was in charge from Lack, Aston and Royal Hunting. At the distance Roval Bengal lodged Ins challenge and he finished too strongly for the favourite,, winning by half a length with Lack three-quarters of a length back. Royal Hunting and Aston were together. Hunting Cry, "’ho had the services of ail Australian apprentice, tailed the field throughout. The success of Royal Bengal gave Ml- A. Lile and R. Johnson, the New Plymouth mentor, the principal honours, Tigerism, the winner of the Bo ton Handicap, racing in the same ownership.

FLYING START

Sabatini and Broken Rule were preferred to Copper King for the Mangarawa Hack Handicap, but the winner turned up in False Scent, who secured a “fly” from No. 1 position at the barrier to be two or three lengths clear in the first fow yards, whereas the favourite got away badly and was early tailing tho field. Attending False Scent as they came across the top were Golden Shadow, Purse, Dick Whittington and Broken Rule, but Navaho secured a run on the rails to attend False Scent and Golden Shadow, while Copper King ran round bis field. At the distance it appeared as though Navaho would beat tiie pacemaker, but False Scent l-espondcd to draw clear to win by a length from Copper King, who worried Navaho out of second place by a head. The success marked False Scents eighth win during his career for a total stake money of £487. CHOCK SAY MAKES GOOD.

Kalninoke and Talioma were most in demand for tho Whariti Handicap with Chock Say next in request, but after the stronger fancied pair being prominent in the. early stages they retired from the picture, Chock Say winning nicely from the little fancied Bramblotorn. Racing for positions going away from home Knjiunoke was piloting Joyspear, Tahoma and Rhea, but before they had turned into the back straight Rhea and Tahoma were together ahead of Saltpot, Flower and Joyspear. Five furlongs from home Chock Say ran round his field to come acrosß the top clear of Brambletorn, Tahoma, Saltpot, Greenhorn and Rhea. In the straight Brambletorn and Greenhorn challenged, but Chock Say held on to win by a nock from Brambletorn, with Greenhorn half a length back. Kahunoke was fourth. A GOOD FINISH.
