FLAGMAN’S GOOD WIN

(Special) CHRISTCHURCH, April 27. Flagman won the Tekapo Hurdles from end to end. Sir Frederick, who made some faulty jumps, followed him over tire first mile and Donadea ran into second place turning for home. Flagman was not troubled in the run to the post to beat Sir Frederick, who got up to wrest second honours from Donadea on the post. Green Boa was eight lengths back. Ann Mie had the field for the Electric Stakes in trouble from the outset. She led into the straight and was never called upon. Princess Myosotis held on for second money from Hurry Girl, who lost some ground at the start. King’s Toast was one of the early leaders in the Timaru Cup, but was near the rear with Prudent Prince and Willie Win, who was badly left, at the half-mile. At this stage Airline was three lengths out in front from Not Out, but he retired once the straight was reached and Not Out was challenged by Wardress and Prudent Prince, with King’s Toast showing up wide out. Not Out appeared to have bright prospects until King’s Toast flashed up and' in a close finish the latter got up to gain a narrow victory. Prudent Prince was close up third, just heading off Wardress. There was then a gap to Airline, Willie Win and Cherokee, almost in line. There was a surprise in the Smithfield Hack Handicap. The favourite, Rawhamai, appeared to be the likely winner inside the last furlong when Confidant, who failed in the maiden event, came with a late run to have an easy win from Rawhamai, who narrowly beat Nightglass, Lady Derby and Irish Lass, who were separated by halfheads.

Density was installed a good favourite for the Doncaster Handicap, but after beginning smartly she was steadied in behind Don’t Forget and the latter had a clear lead entering the straight from Density, Rebel Mate and Hearth. Density could not improve her position in the run home and Hearth and Rebel Mate showed out to tackle Don’t Forget. Hearth soon drew to the front and won comfortably from Don’t Forget. Rebel Mate was a fair third, two lengths in front of Craiglea, with Density beaten off. The concluding event was won by the third choice, Foxette, a stable mate of Valcron, who was sent out the win favourite. Foxette and Roman Son were well back when the straight was reached and their chance of getting up to the leader in the straight, Big Joe, did not appear very hopeful, but Foxette wore him down in the last few strides and gained the verdict right on the line. Roman Son finished on solidly into third place, two lengths in front of Lockheed, who was also one of the rear division for a good way. FLAGMAN REHANDICAPPED (P.A.) TIMARU, April 27. Flagman has been rehandicapped to 10.8 in the Southland Hurdles.
