DUALITY IMPROVED WAVERLEY CUP SUCCESS Duality is greatly improved. She won the Maslerton Handicap solidly, and on Monday she won the Waverley Cup. In the Waver e.v Cup, Duality was awkwardly placed on the rails as the field raced into the hack, and bv the time the far turn was reached she was second to last. She was still on the rails, with her rider apparently vniuly looking for a run. Duality's jockey moved out from the rails a little and his chance came as they turned for home. Here an opening was obtained and, putting I" a determined run, Duality noon ranged up beside Black Plato. After a short struggle she sralned the upper Imnd and went away over the last Ino yards to win decisively. Tn her nine starts last season Duality's only win was In a high-weight event at Maslerton, but so far this season she has gained two wins and two second placing* in six starts. Jmlcrinif by her wins at Masterton and Waverley, a race like the Waikato Cup may not. be beyond her capabilities. She is a seven-year-old mare by Inflation from Ingenuity, a mare who won races for Duality's owner, Mr J. J. TTayward. when trained by M. Conway at Hawera. TROTTING CUP LIST OF HANDICAPS (P.A.)

Special Edition was the early leader from Cabin Boy, with Dusky Sound, Loyal Friend. Battle Colours and Parshall all well placed. In the Mood improved her position with three furlonss to go to follow Dusky Sound, Cabin Boy and Loyal Friend into the straight, and in the best finish of the day she won well from Dusky Sound, with Cabin Boy, who appeared to be hampered over the last furlong, just in front of the fast-finishing Haughty. Haughty's splendid performance from the 30 yards mark was a feature of the race, and she should be nearly back to her best when the New Zealand Trotting Cup is decided next week. Bronze Ragle looked well, but did not make much impression on the field in the early stages. Integrity, one of the favourites for the Trotting Cup, broke at the start a nil was set a hopeless task. Countless and Indian Clipper also lost ground early.
