ASHBURTON FORM GOOD RUN BY STATUETTE SPECIAL FORCE BRILLIANT [nv ji: t. ix. tc a I'll —own court espomikxt] ASHBURTON. Friday Statuette pave a hjgli-class performance to win the Wakanui Handicap at Asht'urton yesterday, when she scored easily in 3.15 2-5, which is two-fifths of a second outside the mile and a-Jialf record for a three-year-old pacer. She met with slight trouble at the start and was givinu the leaders a fair break at the end of liaif a mile, but she won with something in hand. Statuette promises to rise to tiie best class in lhe near future. Waiting on the leaders until well into the straight. Peter Smith registered a good performance to win lhe Ashburlon Trotting Cup. lie followed Renown's Best, Navy Blue and Nelson Eddy for most of the journey, ami when asked for an effort in ihe last lurlong responded in the style of a good horse, staying on solidly for a neck victory from Nelson Eddy, with Creat Jewel third. Both the minor place-getters ran excellent races. King Potts, who was fourth, was unlucky, failing to receive an opening in the final quarter. Special Force maintained his of classic successes by easily winning the New Zealand Champion Stakes from Gold Chief. Walter Moore and Shadow Maid. Special Force was in front throughout and. although inclined to run about in the straight, had little difficulty in recording 3.1(1. the lust hnlf-mile in 1.1 2-5. On this run be is definitely the best of the three-year-olds, and, although Statuette may be regarded as a serious rival, racing to this stage of the reason has proved him to lie well above tlie others of his age. Gold Chief ran an honest race for second without really troubling tin. w'nner. Walter Moore recorded one of his ties I performances, racing much more kindly than on former occasions Shadow Maid was ,-; () -e up fourth, villi Ronald Logan next RoniiUl Logon but he « <j not appear to be at his best, being slight ,v lame as the result of a recent accident in training. __ MARTON ACCEPTORS
