WANGANUI CLUB

WINTER FIXTURE OPENS. CONDITIONS IDEAL. With a track that provided good winter going the Wanganui Jockey Club opened its meeting to-day under ideal conditions at Awapuni. There was a very good attendance. TRAVAIL SPRINGS SURPRISE. There was a surprise in the Puma Hack Hurdles when Travail came on the seem' with a late run and raced away in the straight to win bv six lengths from Oorro borec, who was * the pacemaker almost throughout. Colibri was third and Regicide a poor fourth. The favourite, Manteau, ran a poor race. SANDY BAY STAYS ON. Beginning well from an outside position. Sandy Bay hung on long enough to beat the favourite Elusory by a head in the Maiden Race. Chef d’Ocuvro was a close third, but, the rent were wed strung out. The big field quickly straggled and many of the runners had their chances extinguished from the rise of the barrier. FOXIANA S SPLENDID FORM. Air L. H. Collinoon. president of the, Manawalu Racing Club, who won the Century Hurdles ltu>t year with Old Surrey, scored his second success in the event today when Foxiana gave a splendid exhibition of jumping and outclassed the field to score an easy win. He was tollowcd almost throughout by Great C)ucx, who headed him for a short distance between the five and six furlongs, but over the final stages Foxiana was easily in command. Limbohm was a fair distance hack third. Smoke Screen broke down five furlongs from home. MYARION WINS ON POST.

Ihe pacemaker, Koliika, was two lengths away with the favourite. Young Charles, fourth.
