NOTES ON THE FORM. SHREWD'S GOOD DIVIDEND. BILLION WINS AT LAST. [BY TELEGRAPH.; —OWN CORRESPONDENT.J PALMERSTON NORTH. Tuesday. Arrowhead was favourite for the hurdle race at, the Manaivatu meeting to-day. but was defeated by Easterly. He mad- one or two bad jumps. Easterly showed improved form compared with her display on the flat the previous day. Conjuror 11. did not improve .md Royal Songster, who looked likely for a good part of the journey, faded light out. Spearmisß was sore. t Blacksmith, who won the apprentices race, appears to have come right at last. Considering that several of the riders were making thsir first appearance in public I,hey performed very creditably. Head Lady was, favourite for the Juvenile Handicap and endeavoured to lead all the way. She was • still in. front halfway up the straight; but they closed on her and Rulanut came with a fine/lash to win nicely from Copper kmc. with Ml. y,® 111 ball's other pair. Sir Pombal and Capo 'ttoval next. Uulanut's performance u aft 5 good, for ho drew No. 13 portion ind had to come from the back. Lady 1 am s .half-brother. Cape Royal, li s fiisj rnco and also carrying 7jlb. o\evwt/uht. i»n :in most promising fashion. Coppe King fas always handy, but lurlong. w • well fancied, was always t fmW? Lady stopped badly over the last f i lorn.. Shrewd created a big ®!" pr {"® { ® Liverpool Handicap, for which hewas tlie rank outsider except one. He took charge »hen they settled down «nd ■ hack beaded. Hi C h Falutin' was back at the start, but he moved up fast down the back and with Desert Song uncLittle Doubt was challenging in the sti.jipht. Shrewd, however, could not be reached and the extra effort on High hn .n jo on him at the finish. He j«at beat Desert Song for eecond pUco. has come to his form again all d w , I but High Falutin' was unlucky. Deseit Song is racing consistently. . i Waratah scored decisively in the back j sprint, although he was all out to doi . , The favourite. Hampden, made the pace j Riid lasted until well in the straight, wheie | Projection and Waratab drew auay. -1 r°" , lection was in front with half a fnrloi g to go. but Wa rat all wore him down. Lady liene improved into fourth place. .in Beaconsfield was next. Ilampden stoppec. ; over the lo?= t furlong. , . , , . Habit, n hot favourite in t.ie one-dividend field for the Clandeboye Handicap, v.as made to do her best from the start, auci w as never nearer than third, eventually finishing a bad Inst. Acta eon endeavoured to win nil the way and very nearly auc'cceded in bringing off u surprise. However. he ran himself to a standstill and was caught in the last strides by Billion. V'l'.O was also at a long price. Babel was *■ close third, after beginning slowly, it Billion's fii'Pt win for aver 12 month?. Actneon ran his best race of the reason and with a bit of luck would have won. Joie de Yal came from right back to *in narrowly in the Christmas Handicap, finishing better than any of her opponents. " was the best finish of the meeting, heads separating half a dozen horNce. Cane[town nearly brought off another roup for "r. Keniball, pll of whose horses ran during the day. Barbacan had every Chance', being out in front to the straight, j*. Aston, who was. a tint favourite for the Wncludino: event of the meeting, led all 4V way and scored comfortably against his «iree opponents.
