SIX AWAPUNI WINNERS.

MARTON CLUB’S MEETING

HOMILY TAKES THE HANDICAP.

Six winners were provided by the Awapuni training centre at the Marton Jockey Club’s spring meeting on Saturday, the stable of L. G.. Morris raking .the first three races on the card. The Juvenile Handicap was won by the Ringmaster colt Taitaina, .whoso dam, Lady Bentinek, was a good class sprinter in her day. Wings of Song won the maiden event in hollow fashion, and the Hunting Song gelding looks likely to develop into a top-class sprinter. The Marton Handicap was won ■ by Homily. 'Though not fast, the track was in good order. The totalisator handled £15,767 10s, showing a decrease of £379 on the last spring meeting. Princess Isabel, a mare owned by Air T. A. Duncan, broke her back when she fell in the concluding stages of the steeplechase, during which Lady Callaghan ran off and took ‘Ruaform with her at a critical stage, and the stipendiary steward, Mi; B. N. Sandilands, called a judicial inquiry inio the incident.. The explanation of the rider of Lady Callaghan. T. Tito, was accepted. Richelieu Pearl fell at the home turn in the seventh race and brought down Class 1 form. The respective riders, H. Stewart and J. Williamson (of Awapuni), both apprentices, escaped serious injury, but Williamson bad to receive medical attention. He was saved from grave injury by his skull ,cap, but suffered a cut on the bead, also bruises and shock. An inquiry was held by the judicial committee into the accident. It was found that Richelieu Pearl came down through being crossed by Kaiwaka, and T. Ivilgour, rider of Kaiwaka, was suspended for two months. RACING IN DETAIL. JUVENILE HANDICAP, of £l2O.
