SPORTING BLOOD SCORES NARROWLY. GOOD EFFORT BY TAURAMAI. NOTES BY THE ROOK. (Special to the Times.) Christchurch, November 5. The weather for the second day at Riccarton was perfect. The attendance was again large and the racing splendid. The afternoon’s sport opened with the Middleton Handicap which was a really good betting race. Earthquake and Streamline gave some trouble at the barrier, but eventually the lot got away in good line. Semper Paratus took charge from Sky Rover, Streamline, Revision and Chaste with Palatinate whipping in. Honest Maid and Earthquake ran up on the outer and joined Semper Paratus in the lead. There was evidently some bumping, for Sky Rover and Heather Glow went back suddenly, Sky Rover nearly coming down. Semper Paratus had a slight lead entering the straight from Honest Maid and Earthquake and ran on to beat Honest Maid a short length with Earthquake a neck away third. This is the first time Earthquake has started properly for some time. Revision was a close fourth with Palatinate, Cottingham, Sungem and Chaste almost in line. It was a fine contest.

The Irwell Handicap was a match between Silver Sail and Symcony. The two carric ’ more than half the money invested on the race. Symcony, who started from No. 4, was the first to show, but she did not have much on Silver Sail, starting from the extreme outer. She was soon able to cross over and join Symcony in the lead, the pair being well clear of Round Up and Penelope. Before reaching the false rail Symcony was being hunted along to stall off Silver Sail. At the distance Silver Sail was half a length ahead, winning comfortably, while Symcony

laster just long enough to beat Round Up a neck. Some lengths back came Hine Ra and Penelope, followed by Honour’s Lass. Round Up ran a sterling race. He looks subject to a lot of Improvement. The start was good in the Criterion Handicap, but when the field had gone a few strides Copyist and Gaysome were sent back last. At the end of a furlong Fair Weather and Palmero were leading Cranford and Great Star with Mobile last. He was sore. Fair Weather was first into the straight with Copyist, Gaysome and Cranford at his heelk Gaysome hung out, thereby losing ground, and Cranford assumed command with Mobile putting in a great run in the middle of the course. Cranford, vigorously ridden, lasted long enough to stall off Mobile by half a length with Gaysome a similar distance away, two lengths ahead of Silver Streak. Then in strung out order came Copyist, Fair .Weather and Great Star with Palermo and Princess Doreen the last to finish. But for hanging out, Gaysome would have won. The Derby. The Derby was a race well and truly run. Pin Money set a solid pace from Wonderful, Tauramai, Hom’s Reef and Sporting Blood all in close order. The first hah mile was run in 52 2-ssec. The pace remained solid and the order with half a mile to go was the same, save that the lot had closed up into a solid bunch. Once into the straight Tauramai headed Pin Money. At once Sporting Blood challenged him and Synagogue also put in a bid. Tauramai was headed off at the distance and Sporting Blood, under pressure, ran on to beat Synagogue by a neck. Tauramai was three lengths away, well clear of Wonderful. Then came Hom’s Reef and Pin Money, with Pawky beaten off. The last half mile was rim in 49sec. When the barrier rose in the Fendalton Handicap Passion Fruit shot to the front with Davolo, Vintage, Might and Horowhenua close up. Before going a quarter Steeton shot to the front, followed by Passion Fruit, Davolo, Cough, Vintage and Ranelagh. The first half mile was covered in 50sec. and Steeton kept the opposition very busy. After entering the straight Davolo headed Steeton, but he was immediately challenged, while Passion Fruit, Silver Sight, Polydora, Ranelagh and Might all struggled hard to catch the leader. Vintage ran home half a length in front of Silver Sight. Polydora, who finished strongly, was a neck away, two lengths in front of Passion Fruit. Then in close order came Davolo, Ranelagh, Signaller, Might, Southdown, Cough, Horowhenua and Steeton. The favourite, Southdown, was never dangerous. Rebel Chief showed his class by making nearly all the running in the Randolph Handicap and winning pulling up by three lengths from Top Rank with Colossian a length away.. The time for the seven furlongs, lmin. 26sec, does not represent what he could have done. Top Rank and Weatherly were first to show out, but before going a furlong Rebel Chief rushed past them and led by lengths from Wino, Elbanor, Top Rank and McHeath, while Waverly got sent back last. Rebel Chief increased his lead and the result, as far as first place was concerned, was not in doubt once the false rail was reached. He won pulling up and he will do the same in open company before long. Silver Step was a fair fourth, clear of Wino, Bella Rosa and Weatherly But for getting knocked back Weatherly would have been in the money. Red Boa and Water Power went short in their preliminaries prior to the Epsom Handicap. Water Power was more than sore. At one stage Rebel Star was backed down to a shade under even money. Rebel Star was soon in front and he forced the pace from Kemal Pasha, Red Boa and Red Racer with Quietly and Locksley bringing up the rear. After entering the straight Kemal Pasha challenged Rebel Star and at the false rail had a slight advantage of him. Red Boa then threw out a determined challenge and just after passing the distance post had headed them. A good struggle to the winning post saw Red Boa win by a short half length from Rebel Star who came again under the whip and beat Kemal Pasha a neck. Quietly, who finished well, was a length away, then as named came Tout Le Monde, Cleaner and Water Power. HANDICAPS FOR WEDNESDAY. (Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, November 5.

Melbourne, October 27. “If Sir Simper is to win the Melbourne Cup, he has to lead all the way,” is how a keen judge of racing sums up the chestnut’s prospects. Few horses have intrigued racegoers more in recent year, for, in addition to his undoubted galloping ability, he has that little air of mystery about him. For instance, he is not trained out in the open with his doings fully recorded. His gallops are at odd places at odd times, and nobody except those most concerned appear to know anything about him until he is produced on race day. Melbourne is fairly well supplied with private training ground;;, and some of the courses at present out of use by Government regulations are available for galloping. However, Sir Simper remains one of the Cup favourites, and is likely to remain so. Money talks all languages, and talks truly, and there were some large parcels taken about Sir Simper’s Melbourne Cup prospects even as late as this week-end. Evidently all is well with him, although he is out of the news. There is no doubt that his biggest disadvantage is his aversion to galloping in a field. —Problem For Jockey.— Even although F. Dempsey had not made the statement to this effect it could be seen that in the Caulfield Cup and the Toorak Handicap he was very disinclined to go up inside a horse. Moreover, he does not like being on the rails, so his Cup jockey is set a problem. Although Sir Simper has only 7.7 m the Cup it would appear that he will be set a severe task no matter how he is ridden. If he is taken to the front he will have to stall off all others and win all the way. If he drops back he will have to come right round his field again as in the Toorak Handicap. In his earlier successes in Melbourne he has done both—win all the way and come from behind. He is certainly a most interesting piece of horseflesh and has survived in wonderful fashion reports of lame, broken-winded and badly ridden by obscure jockeys. Now everybody in Melbourne is asking who will really ride him in the Melbourne Cup. The sphinx will tell on Cup day on the semaphore before the race. CRICKET CENTRAL-WESTERN COMPETITION. WAIRIO v. LIMEHILLS. (From Our Correspondent.) The Wairio-Limehills game in the Central-Western cricket competition, played on the Wairio domain on Saturday, produced some great bdtting performances, a total of 386 runs being scored. The wicket was in good order, and both sides batted with freedom seldom seen in Wairio. Limehills batted first, and Brosnan and McCombs took the total to 38 before the first wicket fell, Sherman taking a fine catch at point. Reid joined McCombs at the .Ickets, and the second partnership added 66 runs. Both attacked the bowling from the outset, and the score mounted rapidly. Hammond was caught by Black. Woods, C. Hammond and Tippett were soon out, adding only 16 runs between them. Soper started off in great style, hitting three fours and a single. Hatton, R. Reid and Thompson added onlv four rims between them, the innings closing at 158. N. Bates and Sherman opened for Wairio. Both played cautiously for a while, but the latter soon took charge of the bowling, and contributed a valuable 29 before he was caught out. Black joined Bates at the wickets and the bowling was collared, Bates being at his best. Black, who was bowled by Hammond, hit four fours and two sixes. McCallum joined Bates, but was soon out, the partnership adding only seven runs. E. White, who seems to be improving with every match, knocked up 22 before being stumped, and Deedy scored seven before being caught by Brosnan. C. Ross and Bates carried on but the latter, who had opened the innings, was caught after giving a good display. His total of 69 included eight fours and one six. D. Forde partnered Ross and helped to add 13 before he was out lbw. Murphy, the next man, was out first ball. L Genge joined Forde and runs came fast before 1 orde was caught. H. Bamfield attacked the bowling from the start. The innings closed for 228 runs. All of the Wairio batsmen shaped well making the bowling of the visitors look anything but dangerous.

(From Our Correspondent.) In a good scoring game at Winton on Saturday afternoon, Winton and l

Otautau drew in a further match in the Central-Western Cricket SubAssociation’s competition played under fine weather conditions. Spirited batting on the part of both sides characterized the play, the home team being responsible for 204 in the first innings. Otautau replied with 140 .or five wickets. Hodges scored an excellent 72 for the home side, his total including eight fours, while B. Lilico batted impressively for 66, which included a six and four fours. Otautau commenced rather disastrously and had two down for 11, but a good stand by A. Chisholm, whose 45 (including a six and three fours) was top score for the visitors, improved the position. At the drawing of stumps G. Ramsay and A. Fisher had 20 and 26 on respectively. Melton also had a good score of 28. Ramsay (Otautau) had the bowling honours, taking six wickets for 42, while Gill did best for Winton with two for 40. Scores: — WINTON. B.
