Form Displayed At Feilding

PRESIDENT BEN SANDFORD was * at the helm for the 'last time at Feilding. At the conclusion of racing on Saturday the members and stewards met him, told him what a good fellow he undoubtedly is, and presented him with a pair of binoculars. * * * During his term of offlce Ben has consolidated the club's position, and his reference to farmers and finance should be digested by all who have the welfare of the club at heart. * # * . Dai'ky Neale since he came back into the business has had a good. run, and it did not take him long to weld Opa into a winner. The gelding won both hurdle events. * # * Cashier looked big and well when he contested the Cup, but he was beaten before they turned for home. * # # - The handicapper has apparently got Whenuanui where he wants him. He is easy for those lower down. * # * 'Tis a pity that Callapat is not right m the t tubes. He is a resolute galloper, but" it takes him all his time to run out six. * # # Benzora seems to have lost all form, and from now on the handicappers may feel inclined to take a few risks with him. *. # # When Austerity won the first day it was a fine performance, for half a mile from home she was m a hopeless position. The second day the soft track and another nine pounds stopped her. * # ■ # Pakitere, a half-sister to Toxeuma, made the maiden field look silly. She was never off the bit. * # * The Douro Cup winner Rational 11. showed that before long, all being well, he would be winning m open company. * # # Maori Boy's trip did ndt result m much grist for the mill. He might have been closer up m the Cup but for having to cover a lot of ground on the turn. * # # George Shannon won the first day with Potoaform. The Potoa gelding when the time comes, should be a great jumper. He is m the right quarter to be made.
