NOTES ON THE RUNNING

WAKARI HURDLES Courtdress and Tamerlane were last to leave and Moneybird went out fasi to lead past the stand from First Out, Powys, San Quentin, Sir Saladin and Foreign Ways. Courtdress was last. Across the top Moneybird was 10 lengths clear, but he hooked the hurdle at the seven-furlong mark badly and dropped back to fourth. Running down the back San Quentin showed the way to Foreign Ways, First Out, Moneybird and Sir Saladin. There was little change across the bottom bend and First Out and Foreign Ways led into the straight, followed by San Quentin, Moneybird and Sir Saladin. Foreign Ways hit the front and went on to win from Sir Saladin, with First Out third, ahead of San Quentin. They were followed by Courtdress, Moneybird and Kosciusko. Powys finished last, a long way back. Novice/Handicap From a straggling start, Royal Anne got all the best of it and led down to the fivefurlong post from Glen Cona, Hip Pocket, Arctotis, Flibbertigibbet, Royal Lark, Heroic Girl Past the three the order was Royal Anne, Glen Cona, Arctotis, Royal Lark, Flibbertigibbet, Duncraigan, Heroic Girl and Some Sal. Flibbertigibbet followed Royal Anne and Glen Cona into the straight, and Duncraigan and Seme Sal moved up fast. In the run to the post Glen Cona just got up in the last stride to make a dead heat of it with Royal Anne, with Some Sal shading Duncraigan for third. Then came Detract, Royal Lark, Carry On, Flibbertigibbet and Pestee. Milburn Handicap Luminous Knight, Hart Royal and Aldair were slow to begin, and Slick was

followed out by Duvaals, Incitatus, Punjab, Robot and Vanity King. ' With four furlongs to run, Slick showed the way to Duvaals, Punjab. Incitatus and Make Good, with Luminous Knight and Hart Royal moving up, with Triumphal still well back. Coming round the home bend Duvaals hit the front, and was trailed by Punjab, Slick, Incitatus, Hart Royal and Make Good. Triumphal was beginning to move round the field. Continuing his run, the last-named won decisively from Duvaals, with Incitatus just holding off Hart Royal for third. The placed lot were follow.ed by Slick, Vanity King, Make Good, Robot and Punjab.

Brockie, Joygiver and Eriskay, with Hakim a bad last. Down the back Joygiver moved up fast, and with six furlongs to run took second place to Hansel, and then came Boolamskee, Lord Dundonald, Loyal Lady, Brockie and Eriskay. Half a mile from home there was no change in the running, but turning for home Boolamskee slid through on the rails to lead Hansel, Joygiver, Brockie, Eriskay and Lord Dundonald into the straight. Halfway down the running Boolamskee looked like winning, but Lord Dundonald just caught him on the post to split winning honours. Brockie was third, ahead of Eriskay, and the next to finish were Hansel, Loyal Lady, and Joygiver. Dunedin Guineas They got away- to a good start, with Show Boy taking up the running, followed by Excellency and Kartikeya. At the end of a furlong Excellency went to the front, and the order after her at the six-furlong post was Show Boy, Kartikeya, Coral Arc, Beaugard and Sally Gazelle. This was still the order past the four, but running across the bend Coral Arc moved up and round the home turn Excellency was still in front, followed by Kartikeya, Coral Arc, Show Boy (stopping), Beaugard and Sally Gazelle. Below the distance Excellency and Kartikeya were well clear, and they came on stride for stride up to about half a furlong from home, where Kartikeya got his nose in front and went on to win by two lengths, with a big stretch of daylight back to Coral Arc. Beaugard was fourth and Sally Gazelle fifth. After the race, the president of the club Mr L. C. Hazlett, presented the cup to Mr E. E. Steele, the owner of Kartikeya. Juvenile Handicap Achieve was left by lengths, and those who began best were St. Bruno, Village Beauty, Trident, Robin Redbreast, and Shadamai. At the end of two furlongs Bay Gundi and Card Money fell, and as the youngsters swept round the turn for home St. Bruno still held the lead and was followed into the straight by Village Beauty, Shadamai, Trident.

After the placed lot came Finigin, King Gundi, Village Beauty, Balkis, and Sir Abbot. Federal Handicap Grill was slow to move and down past the six-furlong post the order was Gold Song, Frances, Sterling Lad, Kiloney, Bath ’Slipper, and Batal. As they galloped across the bend Kiloney moved up to second to follow Gold Song round the home turn into the straight, and these two were followed by Sterling Lad, Frances, and Bath Slipper. Frances began to- drift and Sterling Lad went up to challenge Gold Song and beat him home comfortably. with Kiloney third and Bath Slipper fourth.
