SPORTING.

THE DUNEDIN WINTER MEETING SOME FINE RAGING. LISTENING POST WINS BIRTHDAY HANDICAP. Tho Dunodin Jockey Club opened its Winter mooting in beautifully fine weather with a summer like aun in evident® throughout the day. Tho rain on the previous day had, however, broke tho going, which was on tho soft side and a bit greasy. Still the ground could bo considered quite satisfactory for tlie time of tiro year, although it was open to charge with supplying a bad tako-olf, and so in all probability priueially responsible for mishaps which took place in tho races over jumps. The unshipped riders, however, escaped injury. Some of the fallen horses may not bo able to appear again at the meeting. Palencia injured both stifles in his race, and Rhoboro appeared to be gone in both forelegs when he came hack after a brief participation in the St. Clair Steeples. Well-thronged stands and enclosures viewed the sport which proved so keen that it should whet the appetite for further participation in the rest of tho meeting. Tho Birthday Handicap provided one of the best finishes over seen oh the course, as there was little cr nothing between tho placed lot as they flashed past the post. Listening Post owed his success to good horsemanship and the important fact that he covered as little ground as possible. Loughrea acted bettor than was expected in the going, which was tho most serious handicap against him. Bonona made up his ground quickly from tho four-furloog post, and when ho reached the home turn in charge of affairs he was still wide out and this cost him the race. The ground lost made the difference between winning and losing in a fighting finish. Mountain Lion stayed on a bit, better than was expected and both ho and Kilfano will be better served over a shorter journey. Jubilant could perhaps be better placed in a race whore a strong rider had the mount. It seemed as if there was not much pace on in tho early stages of tho race when what could be termed the commoners in the field, such as Prosperity, Beauty Light, and San Salvador were in tho van. It was. however, quite a good raco from a spectacular point of view. Tho winner has been a consistently good performer right through his career, and although foaled in 1917 is not only still us good as now, but, like most of the Solferino stock, improves in stamina with ago. Golden Prince made such an indifferent show at the South Canterbury meeting, where Palencia beat him out of sight on tho first day and ho stopped to a walk on the second, that his forcing tho running and staying on so well, came as a surprise. There is no doubt that S. Trilford has tho happy knack of making a horse oyer jumps and getting them ready at tho right lime. Golden Prince was meeting Palencia on only 3! b better terms than at Timaru, but improved condition on the one part, and faulty fencing on tho other made all the difference in the world. Moorland drew a wide number at tho barrier in tho Tradesmen’s Handicap, and this fact no doubt accentuated the distance which finally beat him into third place. Both the first, and second began close to the rails. Three others in Baldowa, Baton Bells, and Set Sail ©aoh had to begin from outside positions, and so did Gay Juliet and Valdamo. After tho last race at the instigation of tho stipendiary stewards an inquiry was held into tho handling of Sunny Loch. It appeared as' if 11. Donovan was endeavouring to find an opening when the loaders wore inside the distance. Warhaven under punishment closed in and blocked tho way. Warhaven has been deprived of a race on n previous occasion for failing to stay straight, on under punishment. Tho judicial commit!©.* did not. go beyond noting the fact that interference had taken pi are. Perhaps the unlucky runpor in tho field was The’ Cheat, who for sumo reason or other failed to hold his place near the leaders after making tho far turn, and after dropping back to Sunny Loch and Happy Day in the rear, then came on again to run a good third. If Sunny Loch had obtained an opening and Tho Cheat received a clear run they might have fought out the finish. All duo (praise, however, has to bo accorded Happy Days, who was last, to leave, as he was placed behind the others at tho barrier, and came with a long and well-sustained run at tho finish. Warhaven just failed to stay tho distance. Francaiso caused a lot of trouble at the harrier and this again forces reference to tho fact that starters are 100 much inclined to give undue consideration to notoriously fractious horses at the barrier. They should not bo allowed, to make any attempt to line up in tho first instance when tho rest, of the field come into the barrier. Happy Days behaved well until upset by the delay, hut if he could be placed back so should others that are likely to, and in fact, invariably cause trouble. Apart from this, Mr A. I). MTvor did really excellent work at tho barrier. During the day £34.573 went through the totalisator as against £36,556 on tho first day last, year, a fact which might have been reversed if the various trains had been more promptly despatched to the course. One heavy train was held up several minutes after being fully loaded, and it seemed as if tho management were desirous of making each load the biggest possible burden instead of considering the advisability of getting the crowd out with the least’possible delay. Adjutor was sent out a good favourite for the Trial Hurdles, with Calibration next in demand. The race was really a chapter of accidents which appeared to lie partly responsible for the favourite’s success. Thistleerown went out at the lirst hurdle and Adjutor lost a lot of ground over the first two tlights of hurdles. Killoff tailed right away in tho first halfmile. Paddy’s Hope set a solid puce, and established a good lead as they ran along the hack. Approaching the far turn Calibration, Grim Joke, and Teuterficld were closing up. and the nast-nanied appeared to be going well when he tipped out at the tivc-furlong post. Paddy’s Hope fell at the second last jump, and Calibration and Rag Tag followed suit. This left Grim Joke in chat go, but Adjutor beat him comfortably in the run home. Cornflower broke up the held at the line up, and was finally sent to tho outside. They got away from a good line and Ron Skirl and Ophir made the early running with Enaro and Boughleon Dhoun, whilst Cornflower soon ran up J.O the leaders and joined Ophir before reaching the straight. Once in lino for home Cornflower came on and won well. Ophir stayed on best of the others, and finished well clear of Mountain Rose, who drew up and just beat Solway, who was a late arrival on the scene. The leading quartet were followed by Bon Skirl, Bcughleen Dhoun, and Enaro. Ravenna was the only withdrawal from those colouring on the card for tho Birthday Handicap. From the outset of tho betting Loughrea always dominated tho situation, and finally had a little over 300 tickets more than Listening Post, who started In demand. Thcye were a wellbehaved lot at the barrier, and wore sent away from an excellent line. Prosperity at once assumed command, and when the' field settled down Jubilant had lost her place with the leaders, and had dropped hack last in company with Loughrea and Bonona. Prosperity continued to act ns pacemaker along the back, witii Kilfano, Reanty Light, and San Salvador as his nearest attendants, whilst ■ Emmerson always laid Listening Post nicely placed o;. the rails in behind the leaders and covering a minimum of ground. The field ran in close order, but over three furlongs from home Prosperity had shot Ids bolt, and Sail Salvador and Beauty Light also retired liefore reaching the straight. Kilfano led towards the home turn, where Mountain Lion was following Loughrea and Listening Post. Bonona then arrived on the scene, and look charge. The last-named ran wide as they straightened for home, and Loughrea and Listening Post got to him at the distance post. A great finish homo saw Listening Post got there by (lie narrowest of margins as the first three flashed past the post almost in line. The judge declared half-heads between them. Mountain Lion was over two lengths_ away with Kilfano, who found the distance too far. Jubilant and Prosperity were in close attendance. Listening Post: was ridden a good' race, as lie never left tln; rails until reaching fhe straight, and was vigorously handled in a battling llnish. Loughrea ran a good race for a horse not considered at home in false going. Both, however, were perhaps lucky to beat Boiienn, who lost considerable ground by running wide at, the home, turn, and this about-cost him the race. Jubilant’s rider was not strong enough to handle his mount, and the others found the distance beyond them. They ran the first quarter in 27 l-flsec, four furlongs in 53 l-fisce, six furlongs 1 min 20 2-s.sec, and 10 furlongs in L’min BJ d-osce. The ollieial time was 2min 37see. and private watches made it from 2miu 3Ssec to 2min 38 2-osec.

The couplet] pair, Palencia ami Cassells, wen* marie pronounced favourites for tho 0I a go Steeples, and carried more than twice the support on Whipcord, who started second favourite. Tho hold was thinned out at tho sod wall by Whipcord and Cassells both losing their riders. Golden Prince and Palencia wont at the post-and-rail.s together, but, tho latter hooked it 1 eavily ami was clever to stand up. Tho faulty jump cost him a. dozen lengths, and Ids chnneo in tho race. Golden Prince continued to show the wav to Palencia and Kipling, whilst Lady 'Winston had closed on them at the stand double, where Palencia was obviously a beaten horse. Palencia failed to survive the small sod wall, and Golden Prince carried too many guns and outjumpod Kipling when the latter attempted to put m a challenge. Golden Prince finally won by half a dozen lengths from Kipling, who was allowed to case up when the case became hopeless. Palencia was very lame behind when brought back and hooking the po-st-and-rails damaged tne stifles. The winner deserves every credit us ne made all the running, and lias edrno on a good deal since he ran at the South Canterbury meeting. Tho winner had previously scored in the same race in 1921. Moorland was mane favourite for tho Tradesmen's Ilanoicap, but he was unlucky enough to draw 13 at tne harrier, and Baldowa drew 16. The winner drew 4 and Hevenna 2. They got well away with Lava, who drew 5. Dancing Days 6 and Goldtown 7 being first to show 7 out. Moorland and Clontarf soon reached the front lot, ami Ravenna came next. Lava’and Fir. ora retired early, ami Geremal and Moorland became prominent with Ravenna before the r. ached tho straight. Dancing Days and Moorland led into the straight, but tho former was in trouble at the distance, where Ravenna and Goranial put in their claims. In a good finish Goranial were down Ravenna and beat her a short neck. Moorland stopped towards tho finish, and was about a length away, a similar distance in front of Clontarf and Eaton Bells. Then came Dancing Days and' Guncaso. Baldowa never became prominent, and was alwavs in tho ruck, whilst Ecuador settled his chance by bolting before tho start. A fancied candidate in Set Sail was never sighted with the front lot after drawing 14 at tho Barrier. Tokomairiro was the only runner in tho St. Clair Steeples who jumped welt. Maghera had a life at tho small sod wall .ami ditch, and again when landing over tho water jump when disputing leadership with (ho winner. The second faulty jump cost, him six or seven lengths. Kongahcro refused at tho water jump, and Rhoboro, after striking heavily at. the first of tho stand double, was pulled up. 'Windermore did not jump well, but had sufficient pace to beat the favourite in a. tight for second honours behind Tokomairiro, who won comfortably. A notable feature of the race was that three different owners in tho race were represented by white body blue sleeves and barely distinguishablecaps. Prosperity and Solway also carried practically tho same colours, black and purple crossed sashes. Bonomel was backed down to a short price in tho Jumpers* I hit. and although the winner ho was under pressure at tho finish to stall off a challenge from Penury Rose, who might have caused more trouble if an earlier claim had been made. Bonomel was, however, going well until well inside the distance. Captain Sarto ran a fair race, and made most of the running until the winner took charge. Sunny Loch and Warhaven wore always disputing favouritism in the Winter Welter, and the former finished up with loss than £IOO -more money tnan the other. Frnneniso gave a lot of trouble, and finally, Happy Days liecame, upset. They were sent away on fair (onus, and Avispado at once took charge from Francaise, with Warhaven lying next. Tho Cheat was well up, hut dropped to Bunny Loch and Happy Days. They were in close order behind Avisrmdo as thov turned for home. Warhaven shot out at tho distance, where Hanpy Days put; in a claim and Sunny Loch, under the whip, threatened dancer, but could not pet an opening. Happy Days closed on Warhaven a few strides from home, and The Cheat again arrived. A good finish saw Days gain tho verdict bv a narrow margin. The Cheat was a length ami a-hidf away, with A\ ispadn and Sunny Loch close up. TRIAL HURDLE HANDICAP, Of 200sovs; second UOsovs, mid third SOsovs. One mile and a-half. 1— C.
