CUP TO AMIGO.

FEILDING EASTER MEETING. SIR CRUSOE'S COURSE RECORD. (By “Spectator.”) Favoured by fine weather, the Eeilding Jockey Club's Easter meeting which opened on Saturday, attracted a large attendance ' and proved highly successful. The racing was of a good order and the club conducted all arrangements in a highly satisfactory manner. [ Investment was brisk, and the totalizator j turnover for the day was £30.108, compared with £29,816 10s for the corresponding day last year, an increase of £2Bl 10s. The bedding Cup attracted a great deal of interest, the winner being Amigo, who has had a most consistent record. It is most, recent successes were in sprint, raees. and lie won over a short distance at Rangitikoi. and was second in the Suburban llart dieap at Wellington. lie showed by his race on Saturday in fast lime that lie is also a. horse to he reckoned with over a distance. The Eeilding Cup was presented to Alr E. 0. I’anl. of Wanganui, owner-trainer of Amigo, by Mr E. T. McLean, president of the chib, Mr McEran said he was very proud to sen Mr Paul win the race: Mr Paul's father had won good races in the past. The time was one of the fastest ever recorded on the course, and lie hoped that Mr Paul would win more trophies at Eeilding. Air Paul also received a. trophy valued at £ls for the trainer of the winning horse. Jfe said in reply that he was fortunate in having such a good horse and such a good jockey. The jockey. W. Jenkins. was presented with a. riding whip. Amigo's time of 2.5 compares very favourably with llie record for the rare of 2.4 2-5. This was established by One Whotu from tlie new starting point in the straight, in 1936 and was equalled by Old Bill last year.

Sir Crusoe followed nn bis success in tho Railway Handicap at Wellington by a brilliant win in the Mnncraonc Handicap, when be established a course record for the six furlongs. His time was 1.11 4-5, while proMoitsly 1.12 2-5 was the best that had been done over this distance here.

W. J. Broughton, rifling at bis first meeting since his suspension, was on two winners and also gained two thirds in five rides,

Several inquiries were held, 'flic interference of Cre.it Quox with Filbert in the irighwofght Handicap was investigated and the explanation of C. Sheilcls. the rider of Croat Qucx, was accepted. Alleged interference with Co'dlmrn in tho Maiden Stakes at the three and a half furlongs mark was a Bo investigated and after hearing several riders in evidence it wa« decided that it bad not been di-do.-ed that any rider was at fault. The same conclusion was reached in an Inquiry into alleged interference with

Barry Boy in the Taonui Nursery Handicap. Details of the races, additional to those which appeared in the first, edition of tho “Evening .Standard” on Saturday, are as follow : AMIGO LEADS THROUGHOUT. Amigo, the topweight, led all the way to win the Feilding Cup in good style after a very fast race. Amigo, Colossal Chief and Dainty Sheila were the early leaders and tlie first two had charge to the five furlongs mark, when Gay Mimic and Laughing Lass were at the head of the others. Amigo still had charge to the straight., when Colossal Chief went out of the race. Homily put in a fast run from the middle of the field, but could not reach the winner. Laughing Lass and Gay Mimic were next, with Colonel Bogey, Mainroa and Jack Tni following. Tho favourite, Lady Montana, was never prominent. SIR CRUSOE SUCCEEDS. Tho Mangaone Handicap resolved itself int£ a struggle between the favourites. Sir Crusoe and Saxon Tor, but a mistake by Saxon Tor when entering the straight allowed Sir Crusoe to have a comfortable win. Saxon Tor and Sir Crusoe were always prominent and with three furlongs to go were in fhcV lead ’ with Endorsement next and Wings of Song moving up. Saxon Tor was first, into the straight., but ran out wide and Sir Crusoe came on to win by two lengths. Endorsement boat Wings of Song for third place, with Gay Chou next. APPRENTICES TO KOTUA. Tvotua won the Onepuhi Hack Handicap for apprentices after being ridden a wait* ing race tucked in behind the leaders. When the straight, was reached he went on t.o gain the verdict from the bracketed pair, Yadanoc and Colibri. Chore Amie and Filetto led at the start and Sicglinde and City Song were in tho picture shortly after, with Gaelic Song in the middle of the field. Mya.rion and Filctte were in front at, the half-mile from Sicglinde, City Song. Kolna, Chore Amie and Ruatiti. Tvotua then came through to win comfortably by two and a half lengths. Next were Yadanoc, Colibri. and Mvnrion. | EASY WIN FOR BLACK ROBE. Black Hahn had an easy win in tho Tannin Nursery Handicap, giving W. J. Broughton liis second winner of the day. She led from start to’ finish. Val Bay was handy early, but dropped hack, A'l Quiet taking second place. Ringling and Airflight were behind the lead crs. and into the straight Ringling followed the pacemaker. She was no match for Black Thread, however, and the winner went awav to gain the decision by three lengths. Airflight was well behind the firs'. Iwb, but was not too well placed early in the race. All Quiet beaded the others. LINDRUM SURPRISES. Lindrurn scored a surprise victory in the Haloombe Handicap and paid double figures. Ills effort was reserved till the last minute and he wore down the pacemaker. Rehearsal, in the straight. Rollieker and Rehearsal led at tho start from Brazil. Gaily and Russian Ballet, and held this position for three furlongs, when Russian Ballet started to move up. The leaders had an advantage of two and a half a length with three furlongs to go. Rolliekcr could not slay with Rehearsal, who led into the straight, but then Lindrurn canto from tbe middle of the field and won by a neck. Rehearsal, who ran a good race, was followed by Russian Ballet, Gaily, Rollieker. Brazil and Sporting Gift, Brunhild, a well-fancied candidate, lest her chance by turning round at the itart. LAST RACE TO GOLD DALE. Gold Dale, the fifth favourite a Stratford horse, was too good for the opposition in tin* concluding event, ami taking ilie lend near the straight was not challenged. When the field had sorted itself out Sceptre and Gold Dale were most prominent. Colineainps was also in the picture. Gold Dale waited behind Sceptre until the straiglil was near, and then, taking the lead, was not headed. Sceptre carried on in second place, with Scandal, having his first race for a long time, running well to. be third. Next were Dehretts, Zest. Bronze Lass, ami Coliitcamps. Moratlabad was never prominent.
