Desert Glow's share of the spoils/was £425, Siadsi's £270,. and Papatu's £125.: ■ i ■ . ■ ■ Besides this a gold cup worth £50 went to Desert Glow's owner and a miniature gold cup to Trainer Frank Loombw On the opening day, the trip named had four others to head off fpr the cash, while on the second day there were three others m the field.
