TARANAKI J.C. AUTUMN RACES

VERY SUCCESSFUL OPENING DAY

HYNANNA WINS TARANAKI CUP THE FLYING TO LADY CAVENDISH Perfect summer -weather attracted a large crowd for the opening day of the Taranaki Jockey Club's autumn meeting at the New Plymouth racecourse yesterday. Racing throughout was of an interesting character, fields being of a handy size, whilst the finishes were close. The Taranaki Cup attracted a fine field of nine, and a splendid finish saw the Egmont Cup winner Hynanna prevail, with the Stratford owned Yoma and the Takapuna Cup winner Eden Hall in the minor places. The open sprint, the Flying Handicap, was won by the Hawera trained Lady Cavendish from a field of seven, with The Hawk and Tip Tree second and third.

' RACING ALL INTERESTING WVBSTMENTS SLIGHTLY DECLINE. ONLY ONE FIRST FAVOURITE WINS. The course, after the long spell of dry weather, was rather hard, put thanks to the care- that had been given It by Custodian J. Blewman, there was a good sole of grass. The lawns, too, were looking remarkably well, relieved with the bright colour of beds of flowerings annuals, while the shade provided by the trees, especially in the parking jaddock, proved welcome. Fields, with the exception of the last race, which was reduced to a one-divi-dend one, were all of a handy size. Racing throughout was keen, and though the public had Hawera form to guide them. Mr. Coyle, the handicapper, had the winner® so well concealed that only one first favourite seojred during the day. There were also many close finishes. Mr. C. O’Connor, at the barrier, sent his fields away well, while Mr. W. P. Russell, in the judge’s box, hoisted the numbers promptly and correctly on all occasions. The public were in a speculative mood, the totalisator, under Mr. L. Rea, handling £19,553, compared with £l-9,778 for the corresponding day last year, a decrease of £225. On six of the eight races, however, there was an increase in Investments. Stipendiary steward Wilson was present, but found nothing of which to complain. There was only one untoward incident during the day, the Tree Lucerne gelding Apathy, owned by Messrs Loveridge Bros., Tariki, dislocating its fetlock during the running of the Moturoa Electric Hack race, and being subsequently shot. The cup provided a splendid field, worthy of the race. There were only three scratchings, leaving nine to face the barrier. The public was divided between the Stratford Cup winner, Bright Glow, and the Egmont Cup winner, Hynanna, with the New Plymouth bracket, Mint Leaf and Hipo, next in demand. A fine race saw Hynanna, who was always handy, take the lead, entering the straight to win well by half a length from the Stratford horse, Yoma, which came from a long way back and beat the Takapuna Cup winner, Eden Hall, for second place by a similar distance. The favourite, Bright Glow, was close up fourth. Hynanna thus equals the performance put up by Piuthair last year in winning both the Egmont and Taranaki Cups. The Flying Handicap also attracted a fine field of seven, and Lady Cavendish, stable mate of Re rcmoana, last week's winner at Hawera, led from start to finish to win by a bare neck from the favourite, The Hawk, which was topweight, with Tip Tree half a length away third. But for his apprentice rider losing a stirrup when riding his finish, Tip Tree would probably have paid a dividend Subsequent to the running of the Cup the trophies that go with it were presented to the winner in front of*the grandstand. The president, Mr. L. A. Nolan, said the race had been a splendid one, the winner having carried his 8.6 in a manner that stamped him as one of the best mile and a-half horses racing in New Zealand to-day. He was sorry that the owner, Mr. W. R. Kembali, had not been present to see him race, as no doubt he would be particularly pleased with the double victory of a horse he had bred himself and whose sire and dam he had also raced. The speaker also paid a tribute to the work of the trainer, T. J. Daly, who had the horse very fit. Mrs. L. A. Nolan then presented the trainer with the handsome gold cup for the owner and a silver replica for himJelf. Mr. Nolan also spoke highly of the judgment displayed by the jockey. R. Mackie, who was the recipient of a gold-mounted whip. The arrangements for the conduct of the meeting were very complete, every race being started punctually. The department of the secretary, Mr. E. P. Webster, was most efficient. The catering, in the hands of Mr. Shepherd, and the refreshment booth, under Mr. J. Dunn, were of their usual high standard. A feature of the gathering was rhe excellent musical programme rendered by the First Battalion Taranaki Regimental Band, under Lieut. F. W. G McLeod. HOW THEY RAN POWHIRI S HURDLES VICTORY. ’Ned Kelly and Mountain Bell were the only withdrawals from the Waitara Hurdles, seven going to the post. A good betting race saw San Fera, Powhiri and Airtight evenly supported, only alrnut £25 separating the first and last-named. Then there was a drop but the others were prae-

ideally neglected. Powhiri looked fresh and well, and San Fera and Airtight also stripped fit. Mr. O’Connor did not keep them long at the barrier, all moving off to a good start. Powhiri and Airtight were momentarily in front, but at the end of a couple of furlongs Elysianor and Royal Flight displaced them. Royal Flight showed the way into the straight the first time from Elysianor, San Fera and Powhiri, and the quartette were in close order as they ran past the stand, Royal Flight being just clear of San Fera and Powhiri, with Elysianor handy. Powhiri and San Fera raced past Royal Flight as the field left the straight, and Airtight improved his position, running into third place, with Elysianor next. San Fera and Powhiri cracked on the paee in the run along the back, and with half a mile to go were about six lengths clear of Airtight, Elysianor (who almost came down) being two lengths further back. San Fera drew out from Powhiri before turning for home, and Airtight and Elysianor’ closed up. San Fera and Powhiri came to the last fence together, where Powhiri jumped best, while Airtight joined issue, and Elysianor appeared on the outside. Powhiri finished full of running, winning a good race by half a length from Airtight, with San Fera (who was stopping) three lengths further back. Elysianor was a elose fourth, and then came Flowing Bowl, Just John and Royal Flight. GOLD DAWN BEATS TEA MISS. The withdrawal of Egeria reduced the field for the Ngamotu Juvenile Handicap to a bare two-dividend one. Tea Miss was made a very hot favourite, being entrusted with over one-third of the amount invested on the totalisator. Fermanagh carried about two-thirds of the sum on Tea Miss, and Gold Dawn a little less. Agreeable carried 171 b overweight, which extinguished whatever chance she might have had. Agreeable was fractious at the post, upsetting the field, particularly Fermanagh, and Tea Miss. When the tapes lifted, Agreeable swung round, and took no part in the race. The colours of Tea Miss, Gold Dawn and Te Atiawa were quickly prominent, the first-named pair leading . round the bottom turn from Te Atiawa I and Lady Quex, the last-named running out wide. There was little between Tea Miss and Gold Dawn as they came into the straight, Te Atiawa lying next, with Lady Quex and Fermanagh closing up on the olutside. Tea Miss and Gold Dawn raced neck and neck to the distance, when Gold Dawn drew out, but Tea Miss stuck gamely to her task, and a splendid finish resulted in favour of the three-year-old by only a head. Lady Quex was'two lengths away third, with Te Atiawa and Fermanagh right up. LADY CAVENDISH WINS GAMELY. The serious business of the day commenced with the Flying Handicap, the appearance of noted sprinters like The Hawk, Kiosk, Lady Cavendish and High Finance causing a lot of interest. The Hawk, heavily bandaged in front, looked fine and lusty, and carried himself like an aristocrat which he has proved himself. Kiosk also stripped well, and cantered down nicely in his preliminary. No fault could be found with Lady Cavendish or High Finance, though the latter caused some excitement through breaking a bridle, and being brought back to the birdcage. Oration went down more seratchily than usual. Considering the hard track a field of seven was larger than expected. The Hawk drew the rails, and his nearest attendants at the barrier were Tip Tree, I Kiosk, Lady Cavendish and High Finance. It was a good betting race. The Hawk carried nearly one-third of the investments. High Finance, with just over 200 less, was second favourite, and then there was another drop to Kiosk and Oration. Lady Cavendish was inclined to anticipate the starter, but the I others stood well. Lady Cavendish be- ! gan best, and at the end of a furlong led Kiosk, The Hawk, Quillfire and a bunched lot. Quillfire ran into second place when half the distance was covered, but the effort was short-lived, The Hawk assuming that position, followed by Kiosk and'Tip Tree. Lady Cavendish led into the straight, and, as the field straightened up, she was challenged by The Hawk (on the inside) and Tip Tree (out the outer). At the critical moment Tip Tree’s rider lost an iron, the lad being almost unseated. The Hawk disputed every inch of the distance with Lady Cavendish,- but the mare responded gamely, and beat the favourite* bv a neck. Tip Tree was a head way third, and then came Kiosk, Oration, High Finance and Quillfire. AROPETA WINS ELECTRIC. Niazone and Fortalice were absentees when the numbers went up for the Moturoa Electric Hack Race, reducing the field to six moderates. Betting was consequently limited, Resinous being I made favourite, carrying about £3O more than Cadezna. A bigger drop to Merxcis, Yawl and Aropeta completed I the betting, Apathy being particularly

neglected. Merxcis and Aropeta. broke a good line, but quickly gave place to Yawl, who led along the back from Merxcis, Aropeta and Cadenza. Yawl stiH flattered her supporters as they came to the straight, Merxcis and Aropeta closing up fast, with Cadenza dropped back beaten, and Apathy stopped. Merxcis tackled Yawl at the distance, and quickly had her in trouble, but the filly was unable to withstand a challenge by Aropeta, who finished well, and won by a length. Yawl was a length and a half further back, followed by Resinous and Cadenza. Apathy broke a leg and was promptly destroyed. RACE FOR TARANAKI CUP. The Taranaki Cup attracted nine runners, and it was pleasing to see that they were the heavier-weighted division, the only absentees being three of the 7st horses, Greengrocer, Vivo and Manly. Mint Leaf and Hipo were bracketed. Preliminary gallops were of tho easy order, Hynanna moving freely, wishing to go faster, while Piuthair went down gingerly. Eden Hall went along better than Yoma, Transformer trotting past. Mint Leaf pleased by the bold manner in which he sailed along; Bright Glowpulled strongly, and Goshawk also moved nicely. The last-named drew the rails, then came Mine Leaf, Transformer, Hipo, Eden Hall, Hynanna, Bright Glow, Piuthair and Yoma. A big pool was handled, Bright Glow being favourite with almost 800 tickets, carrying a few more than Hynanna. The bracketed pair, Mint Leaf and Hipo, were heav. ily supported, and Goshawk attracted slightly less. A splendid start was affected, and Goshawk, Hipo and Eden Hall were the smartest on their feet. Goshawk led into the straight, followed by Bright Glow, Eden Hall, Hynanna, and a bunched crowd, and as they ran past the stand Goshawk and Bright Glow were together, just in front of Eden Hall, Hipo, Hynanna and Mint Leaf, Piuthair and Yoma bringing up the rear. Racing along the back Bright Glow was showing the way to Eden Hall, Hynanna, Goshawk and Mint Leaf, Yoma being still last. Hynanna ran up to Bright Glow and Eden Hall before turning into the straight, and Yoma could be seen running through the stragglers at a great rate, Hynanna assumed command below the distance, and was then hotly challenged by Yoma, but the top-weight, shaken up by Reg. Mackie, went on to win nicely by half a length. Eden Hall, who stayed on well, was a similar distance away third. Then came Bright Glow, Transformer, Hipo, Goshawk, Mint Leaf and Piuthair. LADY KILLER BY A HEAD. A good field of eight paraded for the Okato Hack Handicap, and of these four horses were solidly supported, Lady Killer touched nearly £6OO, a little more than Baby Bun, and then there was a fair drop to Royal Acre and Flying Shot. Another good start saw Flying Shot, Baby Bun and Miss Mercia at" the head of a bunched lot passing the stand, the favourite being badly placed. Miss Mercia shot to the front at the turn to the back stretch and had as her nearest attendants Flying Shot, Always, Royal Acre, Baby Bun and Lady Killer. Flying Shot weakened as the straight was reached, Miss Mercia and Always being the leaders, with Lady Killer and Sovena coming up on the outside. Miss Mercia was the first to drop out, and Lady Killer and Sovena had a slashing race to the judge, the verdict being in favour of Lady Killer by a head. Always was a good length further back, and Miss Mercia and Baby Bun headed a bunched lot following. TIEGA WINS COMFORTABLY. Heavy scratchings reduced the number of runners for the Mimi Highweight Handicap from sixteen to six, but betting was brisk. The Immigrant had over 900 tickets, more than twothirds of Manly’s tally, while The Swell was also well supported. The favourite was first into his stride, and at the end of two furlongs was closely attended by Vivo, The Swell and Tiega. Vivo headed The Immigrant in the next furlong, Tiega and The Swell lying handy. The Immigrant ran up to Vivo again before turning for home, Tiega and The Swell closing up. The Swell took the lead as they straightened up, and looked a winner until Tiega came through at the half-distance, and won comfortably by a length and a half. Seastar was a similar distance away third, and then came Manly, The (Immigrant and Vivo. NED KELLY SCORES DECISIVELY. The scratching pen was again freely used in the Timaru Hack Handicap, only five of the eleven acceptors being produced. For the size of the field the totalisator pool was very good, though the public—or the majority—failed to pick the winner. Melissa finished up favourite with over 800 tickets, but only less than 100 more than Paul Lucerne. Ned Kelly assumed command at the four furlongs post, and Dimmer, Paul Lucerne, Melissa and Patrolet followed in that order. Ned Kelly was steadied as they came to the straight, and Dimmer and Melissa closed up, but the Auckland horse had most left in him, and drew away,again, winning decisively by a length and a half from Melissa. Dimmer was a length and a half away third, just in front of Paul Lucerne. DETAILS OF THE RACES. WAITARA HURDLES HANDICAP, of 200 sovs; second 40 so vs, third 20 sovs from the stakes.

THE TARANAKI STAKES. The star attraction on Saturday’s p'cgramme will be the ’Fourteenth Taranaki Stakes —the classic event which has attracted th© best sprinters of the Dominion to New Plymouth, and has done much to add to the prestige of the Taranaki Jockey Club. In past seasons the race has attracted great horses like. Gloaming, Desert Gold, Emperador, Tho Hawk, Flying Start, etc., and on ’Saturday excitement will run high when Reremoana, The Hawk and other fine sprinters will be seen in action. As will be seen by the list-ap-pearing below, eight remain in Saturday’s race, and a meeting between Reremoana and The Hawk would, in itself, provide a contest the result of which would be awaited with the keenest of .interest throughout the whole of the Dominion. Reremoana’s running at Awapunj shows that he is bael? to his best form, while The Hawk’s victory at Trentham and the fine race which he ran here on Thursday suggest that he still retains his brilliancy over six furlongs. With other smart sprinters to add flavour to the race, a battle royal may be expected.

BLOODSTOCK SALE. Messrs Newton King, Ltd., will sell at the White Hart Stables, New Ply--.mouth, at 2 p.m. to-day, several racehorses, brood mares and yearlings bn behalf of Mr. P. Johnson and the trustees of the estate of the late Mr. N. King. Amongst the lots to be offered are Oration, Tamatere and Mountain Gold. DUNEDIN J.C. MEETING PINK NOTE ANNEXES THE CUP.
