DUNEDIN WINTER MEETING. SALISBURY STABLE'S SUCCESS. The Dunedin Jockey Club’s winter meeting was continued in fine weather. The forenoon was cold and raw, but the sun asserted supremacy during tho afternoon, which was quite pleasant throughout tho majority of events on the card. Tho attendance seemed somewhat meagre even for an off day, and there was a decided shrinkage in the investments. In fact, it seemed as if the attendance was in rather a nonspeculative mood. The going had dried up since the previous day, and tho track was a bit holding. The card provided some good racing, and the Provincial 'Handicap proved to bo a race really well worth witnessing. Tho first five raced past the post with nothing much between them, and only the narrowest of margins existed between the first three. It is pleasing to bo able to record a returning to winning form of ! Loughrea, who lias been struggling against big burdens all through the season. Bonomel won the Otago Hurdles in good stylo. His rider caught the tapes at the start, and thus nearly became responsible for him missing tho first flight of hurdles. He may not Rave won so well if Captain Sarto hail not tipped out when in charge of the field and going well. P. Keene, the rider of Cap- , tain Sarto, appeared to be struck by Tenterfield, and it was discovered that he had sustained a fracture of tho skull After the Wingntui Steeplechase an investigation took place as to whether Auroro hod been administered some form of dope, and part of the contents of a bottle alleged to have contained a stimulant has been handed over for analysis. An interesting item of the day consisted in throe wellgrown youngsters by Tractor being treated to a run down the straight. Each of the trio moved nicely in their slow paces, and look like prospective winners. Cornflower caused a lot of trouble at the start of tho Silverstrcam Handicap, and held up tho field for some considerable time. After a long delay they were finally sent away with her some lengths back, but moving in. Olympia was first to show, and then Relic, Ophir, Coch-y-bondhu, Salerno, and Mountain Rose were forming the van. Coch-y-bondhu and Ophir led the way to the turn, where Bon Skirl joined tho leaders. Inside tho distance Boughleon Dhoun came with a good run and won nicely by half a length from Coch-y-bondhu, who beat Cornflower by a nock. Kilris, who was badly placed in the early stages, finished close up, with Salerno nexf. Bon Skirl faded out after threatening danger at the distance. If Cornflower had behaved herself at tho barrier she would in all probability have repeated her success of the previous day. Tho delay over the first race probably cost, tho club a good deal of money, as it curtailed tho time leading to the Provincial Handicap, on which only 1980sovs were invested. The coupled pair, Loughrea and Ravenna, were made a strong order in what little business took place. They got away from an excellent line, which Ravenna and Bonena were first to break, whilst Prosperity and Jubilant ware slow to move. Ravenna and Dancing Davs showed the way along the back, with Bonena next, but the last-named failed to hold his place as they ran round the far turn. Ravenna wa» still in charge as thev approached tho home turn, where Jlonnie Winkie had reached second place. When heads were fairly in line for homo Ravenna and Bonnne Winkio were joined by Loughrea, and this trio were fighting out a eroat finish when Bonena and Jubilant flashed on tho scene with Prosperity, Loughrea just beat his stable-mate, and Bonnio Winkie, running his best race for some time, was a head away. Bonena was right up with them, and both ho and Jubilant did remarkably well to make up so much ground from the home turn. Prosperity also put in a good run at tho business end. A well-deserved win has been long overdue for the top-weight. Ravenna ran an excellent race, as she practically made all the running, and was still there at tho finish. If Bonena could have held his place he must have got some of the money, and Jubilant again proved that she is not a boy’s horse. Frenchman was elected favourite for the Otago Hurdles' with Bonomel next in favour. Bonomel tried to shirk the first flight of hurdles, which he ran down andinterfered with Thistlecrown. Bonomcl’s speed, however, soon made up (ho lost ground. Captain Sarto was in charge at the hurdle inside the homo turn, but he struck heavily an.d fell. Frenchman was then in charge, and ho made most of the running with Adjutor. Grim Joko was jumping badly and losing ground. The field was in close order bar Grim Joke and Thistlecrown as they rounded the top, where Tenterfield joined Frenchman in the lead, with tho others close up. Bonomel hud taken charge before reaching the last hurdle, and, ridden out, beat Adjutor a short length. Penury Rose and Frenchman came again towards the finish, and finished right up with the first two. Tenterliold did not . seem to put much heart, into his work after locking to holt! a good winning chance at the second last hurdle, at which he struck. * Bonomel’s speed saved the situation for him, as few horses could have successfully retrieved the ground he lost at the first flight of hurdles. The Harp was the only withdrawal from the Wai-rongoa Handicap, in which Moorland. who drew No. 11, was again made favourite. They got from a good line, and Clontarf and Sun Up at once took charge, whilst Moorland soon reached a position in behind them. Going up the rise, the leaders were followed by Comic Song, Eaton Bells, and Finora. Eaton Bells and Comic Song headed Sun Up and Clontarf at tho distance, and in a great finish Comic Song just pipped Eaton Bells Guncase came with a fate run, and! finishing strongly, got within half a length of the first two. Warhaven. Sun Up, and Clontarf finished in a bunch behind the placed lot. All on tho card went out for the Wingatui Steeples, and* Auroro, in the face of his form at Timaru, started favourite. He, however, made a bad show, and put in some faulty fencing, ami ran off at the post-and-rnil?. Cassells was first to delete himself from the field by missing the second leg of the first double. Golden Prince made most of the running, but he struck the post-and-rails the second time it came along, and was then joined by Kipling and Lady Winston, whilst Whipcord lay fairlv handy. This quartet wore in close order going along the back, but Kipling came on from the water jump and finally won by loss than a length from Lad-’ Winston, who finished on well. Whipcord was a bad third, and Golden Prince pulled up very lame in the near bind leg. Cassells completed the course. Irish soon took charge in tho Janefield Handicap, ■ and, after piloting the way throughout, finally won well from Coch-y----bondhu. who lasted long enough to stall off a. late run from All Style, who had covered a good deal of ground in making the home turn. Voute and Sweet Melody were prominent in the earlv stages, and Blue Dragoon, who was considered to have a show, failc+d to get prominent, but tho winner scored so well that ho would have required a lot of beating, as he was always going well right through the piece. The Forbury Staples became a duel between Maghera and - Windermere. Thev -cere disputing matters over the last seven furlongs, and hud drawn away from Tokomairiro, whilst Luckv Chance had almost faded from view. Windermere beat Magliera at the writer jump, and led over the last jump, but in a lighting finish Maghera stayed on best, and won by about a couple of lengths. Francaiso again created trouble when at the post for tho Invermav Welter, and it really seems futile to lay stress on tho unjustifiable consideration given to frac tious horses whilst tho well-behaved ones arc standing flat foot at the harrier. Fulmar ami Kilbarrv made the early running, but from the home turn nothing but Gay Juliet looked a winner, and she finally scored from Solway, who just ’ beat Marrnoni. Hapny Days failed to get an opening, or he might have bee i close up. The others found the journey 100 far. During the day speculation was rather timid, ami the returns showed a substantial dron on the corresponding dav of last year. The shrinkage amounted to over £7OOO. The totalisator turnover for the day was £21.533 10s, as against £28,762 for (ho second dav la*t year. The turnover for tho two days -this year is £56,106 ICs, as compared with £65.313 for the first two days last year.
