HOW THEY RAN

80ME KEEN CONTESTS ENARE WINS HIGH-WEIGHT. Palamon wound up favourite after very even betting on the Mungaroa Handicap, in which Enare, Eonmark, Carawock. and Vagabond all were well supported. From a good start, Palamon, Vagabond and Carawock wore the first to show out. Palamon led out of the straight, and at the mile was two lengthsclear of Enare, with Eonmark and Red Cherry next, and Manchester a long way in the rear. Palamon led all the w-ay down the back, but four furlongs from home Enare joined him, and, drawing away, was first into the straight. In the run home Enare was not headed, winning by two lengths, but Vagabond and Carawock fought a great finish for second, Carawock. beating the tap-weight by a head. Malingerer wa3 a poor fourth AN INQUIRY. After the running of tne Mungaroa Handicap an inquiry was held by the judicial committee into the crossing of Vagabond by Enare. After hearing the evidence of the riders of Vagabond and Enare, the committee resolved that the crossing did not affect the race, and that the placings should not he disturbed. It was pointed out Ip E. Shaw, rider of Eqare, that it was the duty of riders to straighten up their horses as soon as possible. PASSIONLESS ALL THE WAY. Kineem, Prince Ferouz, and Ardour were the machine favourites for the January Welter. Passionless, ridden by Gray, was jumped out of the barrier very smartly, but Mosthenes and Bagdad

were cut out. Going down the back Passionless had charge from Ardour. Princ© Ferouz, and Kao Tane. Mosthenes was with tho leaders a little later on. Passionless and Prince Ferouz were the first into the straight, where a challenge was thrown out by Mosthenes, who, however, did not last long. Kerb oame from a long w-ay -back, but could not get up. Passionless won by a length from Prince Ferouz, with Kerb a fair third, Ardour fourth, and Kao Tane, Martian Miss, and Mosthenes next. GAILLARD WINS WEILL. Killochra was withdrawn from the Nursery. Rachael was a very warm favourite, while the most heavily supported of the others were Lady Bentinck and Gaillard. Lady Bentinck and Gaillard got out well, and fought the race out all the way. Lady Bentinck was in front at the half-distance, where Gaillard wore her down and won by half T a length. Bonideer and Siaosi were next. Rachael was forced to cover a lot of extra ground. FAVOURITE WELL BEATEN. The Bulls gelding, Koauan, was a good favourite for the Trial Plate, and there was a good deal of support for Glimpse and Hall Mark. Ajax jumped out well, bui he was soon displaced from the lead, and Sir Pam took charge, but on the top 1 bend Hall Mark ran to the front, and he was well clear turning for home, but ran off the course. Koauau, Sir Pam, and Entre Nous were prominent a couple of furlongs from, home, but in the run to the judge Sir Pam drew out and won by a length and a half from Entre Nous. Glimpse was a poor third, and Hall Mark, who finished under the judge's box, was fourth. The favourite was fifth. THE BIG HANDICAP. Gold* Light was sent out favourite for the W.R.C. Handicap, m which the next in demand were Roseday, Limelight, Sunart, and Enthusiasm. Bonetter drew the rails and next across the course wore Gold Light. Enthusiasm, Limelight, Cold Steel, while away on the outer were Palestrina, Diamond Ring and Roseday. The field was sent on its journey to a beautiful start, and at nie stand the leading division consisted of Enthusiasm, Gold Light, Highland, Scion and Diamond Ring, while those at the tail of the' field were Cold Steel, ounart, and Palestrina. Diamond Ring took up the running as the field turned out of t'he straight, and at the mile post Diamond Ring and Gold Light were clear of Enthusiasm, with Scion. Highland, Bonetter, Roseday. Limelight, Merry Day. Sunart, Cold Steel. Mantua, Pale--trina, and Trespass following in that order. There was no great change going., along tho back, except that Sunart irooroved his position. Diamond Ring was out in front five furlongs from home, and Gold Light, Enthusiasm, and Scion were her nearest attendants. On the bend approaching the straight the order was .Diamond Ring. Gold Light, Enthusiasm, Roseday, Scion, and Highland Gold Light took charge at the bottom of the straight, and lying next at this stage were Enthusiasm and Roseday. It looked for a while as if Roseday would cut down the leader, but his dash di-1 not. endure for long, and Gold Light went on to win very decisively from Enthusiasm by three lengths, with Roseday another two lengths away thirdy HighUnd fourth, Bonetter fifth. Mantua sixth, Cold Steel seventh, and Diamond Ring •dghth, Palestrina and Merry- Day were 1 ast, THE DOURO CUP. Star Ranger, White Comet, Ihapotoa. and Penelophon were the public fancies for the Douro Cup. Geranial causod a long delay at the barrier. Ihapotoa legan well, and so did Zero Hour. Last 'bust, and Penelophon, while Vindictive was soon at the tail of the field. Panta--ruel took charge going along the back •ind led Last Crust on tho way round ta Hie straight, with Penelophon and Ihapotoa handy. Ihapotoa got pinched ' -ir room soon after turning for home, and Penelophon took charge and won nicely by two lengths from Zero Hour, who got up on the fence and beat Last Crust by half a length. Ihapotoa was fourth, and then came Basso, Vindictive, Good Mark and Pantagruel. LIGHT WEIGHT BEATS GLENTRUIN. Glentruin wound up favourite for the Metropolitan, and though she ran a great race she was beaten by a narrow margin. Civility led the field on to the course proper, but came out wide. Glentruin took charge at the bottom of the straight, but in the run home Santonio got up and won bv a neck. Two lengths hack came Civility, and then Queen March and Mireusonta.

BUGLE NOTE BEATS HACK SPRINTERS. On his first day’s form Bugle Note was heavily backed to win the Camp Handicap and he pulled his supporters through. Piquant was in front as the field swung on to the course proper, and Orchid was handy, but neither stayed on well, and in the run up the straight Bugle Note. Parorangi and Kilris passed them. Bugle Note won well by a length, and Kilris just defeated Parorangi for second, while Piquant was a fairly good fourth. Orchid and Zaragoza were next to finish. TOTALTSATOR PIGtJRES.
