How They Ran

Cashier All the Way All started in the Hurdles. Goldlike (£165 10/) was favourite, with Birkbcclc (£ll4 10/) next in demand. Cashier (£96) was third choice, and the brother of Otairi signalled his entry into the jumping game by winning from end to end, the margin between him and Tunbridgo being ton lengths. Kopje, Goldlike, Princess Elizabeth and Callamart lost a fair amount of ground at the start, and Cashier led over the first hurdle from Ex Dono and Royal. Damon, Birkbeck being at the head of the bunch. Through the straight it was Cashier, Ex Dono, Goldlike, The Warden, Birkbeck, Royal Damon, Tunbridge and Warzone, the field being well spread out. Going along the back Cashier was bowling along easily in front, well clear of Warzone, Tunbridgo and Goldlike, and across the top the first-named went away from the field. Cashier turned for home seven or eight lengths ahead of Tunbridge, Warzone, Goldlike and Easterly, and won as he liked by ten lengths. Tunbridge was a couple of lengths in front of Easterly and Warzone -was fourth, followed by Goldliko and Royal Damon. The winner never put a foot wrong, and the issue was never in doubt. Easy For Manifesto Knollmorc, Wallaruh and Valueless were withdrawn from the Dash Hack, and in tko field of six the betting took a wido range, there being plenty of support for Manifesto, Hinewai, Chief Savage, Derry Belle and False Scent. Manifesto, Happy Hit and Derry Belle were first out from a good start, but when the field had gone a furlong Happy Hit was acting as pacemaker, closely attended by Manifesto, Hinewai and False Scent. Entering the .straight Hinewai and Manifesto were together in front from Derry Belle and Falso Scent. In the run to the judge Manifesto drew away from the others and won nicely by the best part of three lengths, Thero was a good finish for second place, and Chief Savage came with a late run to head Derry Belle on the post. Hinewai was close up, fourth. Spearform Finishes Well

Grand Jury (£331) was installed a good favourite for the Winter Hack, Glenrossio (£l7B 10/) and Spearform (£149 10/) being next in demand. There was a slight delay at the barrier, but the Hold went away in line, Grand Jury and Malahat showing the way out of the straight from Merry Melody, Jayson, Aurora Borealis, Spearform and Glenrossio, Going round the turn Malahat went to the front and led along the back from Merry Melody, Grand Jury and Aurora Borealis. Jayson was moving forward and across the top was in third place behind Malahat and Merry Melody. Grand Jury was in fourth place and Spearform was tailing a bunched field. Malahat still had charge at the entrance to the straight, and turning for homo the loaders were Malahat, Grand Jury and Jayson, with the rest close up. In a good finish Malahat and Grand Jury were having a ding-dong tussle, but Spearform. joined issue just short of the post and, with a brilliant burst, got the verdict by a length from Malahat, which was a neck in front of Grand Jury. Jayson was fourth, the next to finish being Aurora Borealis. Black Duke Beats Chopin The race for the Crofton Handicap was a good one. Mount Shannon went to the front from the start and led out of the straight a couple of lengths clear of Pahu and Chopin, with another interval to Merry Damon and Black Duke-. There was no alteration until three furlongs from home, when Pahu moved up on Mount Shannon. The order across the top was Mount Shannon, Pahu, Chopin, Black Duke and Merry Damon, and there was little between them as they straightened up for the judge. x\t the bottom of tho straight Pahu was just in front of Mount Shannon, with Black Duke coming fast on the outer. Chopin was shut in on the rails. At the distance Merry Damon joined issue, find then Chopin got an opening, and in a good finish Black Duke won by half a length from tho fast-finishing Chopin, Pahu being a neck away, third. Merry Damon was fourth. The winner (£213 10/) was favourite, with Pahu (£2OO 10/) next in demand.

Kuollmere Wins Nicely Knollmorc (£301) was a firm favourite for the Welter Hack, there being a drop of £143 10/ to the next fancy, Valueless. The favourite was first out from the barrier, but when the field had settled down Cook was pacemaker, followed by Knollmere, Valueless, Salt Pot, Arrowhead, Nightmare and Manuiri. There was little alteration to tho straight, Knollmere being tho first to turn for home, just in front of Cook, Salt Pot, Valueless and Blacksmith. In tbo run to the judge Knollmorc was uevor threatened and won nicely by a length and a half from Cook, there being a similar distance to Salt Pot. Blacksmith was fourth, and then came Takahue, Nightmare and Valueless. Takahue would not faeo tho barrier with the others and went away behind tho field. Keddar Fays a Price

Blue' Paper was entrusted with over half the money in thp open sprint, and iu a one-dividend race Kcddar, the outsider, paid a price of close on double figures, Koddar was last to move when the barrier was released, Blue Paper and Gold Cure showing the way along the back from Briar Root, Juggle and Keddar, The last-named commenced to

move forward three furlongs from home, and turned into the straight behind Gold Cure and Bljio Paper. Once in lino for tho judgo ho quickly got on terms with the leaders, and a great finish resulted. Blue Paper dropped out a furlong from the post and Keddar and Gold Cure wero left to light it out, Keddar getting tho verdict by a head. Juggle came with a late run and was third, only a neck away from Gold Cure. Pinal Event to Leisure Manifesto (£365 10/), Leisure (£319 10/) and Crimcstor (£225) carried most money in the final event. Leisure was first out, closely followed by Night Speaker, Dick Whittington and Crimcstor. Into tho straight it was Leisure and Night Speaker in front of Dick Whittington, False Scent, Crimestor and Sporting Chance. In the run to the judgo Leisure finished gamely to get the verdict from Zarenc, which secured an opening on tho rails and made up a lot of ground over the final bit. Night- Speaker was a length away, third, and Crimestor was fourth. The placed horses were followed by Manifesto and Derry Belle.
