DEFICIT’S DECISIVE WIN

FIRST SINCE 1936.

Deficit, after threatening in recent races to make good again, won his first race since his success in the 1936 Wanganui Guineas, when he won the Woodhey Handicap to-day decisively—practically from end to end. Ecstatic was withdrawn and Dorak stood on the mark, while Royal Pageant was very slow away and hopelessly out of it.

Tidal Gift made the early running, but Deficit soon took charge and led into the straight two lengths clear of Blonde Princess, with Tidal Gift, Eed Cat, Trebor (who had moved op on the torn), and Golden Flame all handy. Deficit easily held his own up the straight to finish two lengths clear of Blonde Princess. Bed Cat was a similar distance back third, the field being strung out at the finish, with Tidal Gift fourth, followed bv tho favourite, Trebor, who disappointed after his run of five successes, Golden Flame, and Fnrotas. Trebor was not well placed early. WON ALL THE WAT. GALTEEMORE TAKES HANDICAP. Jumping to the front from the start, Galteemore raced in great style under his light weight to lead all the way in the King George Handicap and actually increased his lead at the finish to score easily by three lengths. It was a repetition of the Wairarapa County Cup finish. Siegmund, who ran surprisingly well, again was run-ner-up to the winner, lhe Crooner was scratched. The tapes failed to rise at the start and Clifford, rider of the unlucky Hunting Cat. was pulled off, having a nasty fall. He was removed in the ambulance and the horse took no part in the race. Galteemore, Old Surrey, Koval Choice, Play On and The Bigot were the early leaders, but Siegmund had moved up to third place half a mile from home. Galteemore turned into the straight two lengths clear of Old Surrey. Big Dook, The Bigot, Dainty Sue (who had come up on the outside of Siegmund) and Play On. Galteemore easily stalled off Siegmund, the very hot favourite Dainty Sue getting up to within three-quarters of a length of the latter to be third. Queen of Song was finishing on in fourth place to be followed by Big Dook Entail lla> On Arctic King and Corrolxiree Old Surrey faded badly in the run home The last half-mile was run in 50 1-j sec. __ racing in detail.
