Bj'fljes at Waimate and Bert Ellis had a By rough .spin -over the last 'tllree fences. Hi He couldn't havo.beaten the winner all. H.i^e. tfaraei- ' ■ ','.

Wharncliffe was a winner a long way from home and romped m. lie is a. big, upstanding chestnut that looks capable of winning m. better company. Red Admiral looked more like a cot case than anything else. He had a, swelling on his off foreleg as big as a football. . • . . . ■ .x . #■" • > • " # : Mountain Lion was soon but m front m the Cup and was never headed. Two furlongs from home it looked as though he was tiring, but he cleared -away again and won well. . * . . # ■■ . # Tarleton finished like a. train and would have liked a longer journey. :_ * * .... ♦ Overdrawn was not ridden with the best of judgment, being allowed to drift too far away from the leaders m the -early stages. The race served to show 'that he is very well for Easter racing . ; * ** ■.'.'*? Corn Money got. chopped back at the sLart ( of the sprint and had a good view pf the others for most of the way.

Just the last bit found him out and the race would do him a heap of good. .# ,'..■#-. w Kapuna got badly away but showet a fine burst of speed and made up a 'big s '.retch- of ground. He is one oi the unlucky sort, but it can't always be that way. ■-"*•* # There were, only five m the Welter, but there was more bumping and block ing than if there had been 30 runners ■■■>.■. * * Zaragoza was sorted out as the best of good things, but &he got it m the neck at least three times. She should do better soon. * # # . At the end of a furlong Courtley Rose was pinched on the rails and sent bacli last. With half a mile gone she go; near the- leaders, but was sent, bacl* again. Finally she was brought on tht outer and galloped over everything, ir the run home. * ■#._.* Make a note of Exide for a hack flutver any time now. He ran two good seconds.
