HAWERA TROTS

ARABOND SCORES AGAIN t' ■ ' LA CAMPIONE’S SURPRISE BANDOWN TAKES SPRINT FIRST DAY FORM HOLDS GAY PAREE, MILD DERBY The concluding day of the Haw era Trotting Club’s annual meeting yesterday was again favoured with splendid weather and a fast track. The attendance was an improvement on the first day’s end the totalisator figures were ateo better, but the day’s total would probably have been increased by *2OO nr £3OO but for the presence of Gay puree in the Opunake Handicap. The Bawera amateur reinsman A. J. Corrifran had a very successful day, piloting ' home three winners and a second, and handling his charges in a most capable manner on each occasion. The presence Of two leading South Island drivers, C. 6. Donald and J. S. Shaw, who had eome from Christchurch after the opening day of the Metropolitan Clubs meeting on Saturday, was also a feature > of the day’s sport. Each was successful on two occasions, Donald with Sandown and Special Sun and Shaw-with Gay Paree and Mr. Penalty. Ml J. R. Corrigan’s Arabond followed up his Hawera Cup win of Saturday by carrying off the big race, the Waimate Plains Handicap, in decisive fashion. The principal event for trotters taw the; Hawera-trained La Campione ecore a comfortable win after the hot favourite Gay Paree had broken badly when looking dangerous. The sprint event, the T’atea Handicap, fell to the South Islander Sandown, . who came away in the straight to score nicely* The totalisator handled £5756 10b, compared with £11,607 10s on the Monday last'year, a decrease of £5851. The total for the two days was £10,959 10s, nA against £21,837 106 for last year, a • falling of £10,878, or just under 50 per cent. Details are:— THE RESULTS IN DETAIL. TRIAL HANDICAP. Of £75.

WINSHOW IN FRONT ALL THE WAY With his trainer, C. S. Donald, who had been at Addington on Saturday, behind him, Astral was made a hot favourite in the Trial Handicap, but his supporters received a poor return, for he never had a chance of beating Winshow. Mr. Corrigan’s mare began better than anything else and led into the straight from Tui Coronado, Historian, , Trevor Dillon and Astral following at intervals. Tui .Coronado, going unsteadily, ; was headed by Historian rounding the ■ turn, and along the back Historian was < followed by Astral and Trevor Dillon, i but nothing was making any impression ] on Winshow. Rounding the top she was . ten lengths clear of Astral, and though ] she was eased up in the run to the j post she won by five lengths from the ( favourite. Mihad was two lengths away, j and then came Trevor Dillon, Tui Coro- , nado and Historian at considerable intervals. , Winshow began much better than on Saturday and set a pace which soon had the’rest in trouble., Though slow- i ing up at the finish she ran 3.30 from t a 3.40 handicap. Astral also improved I considerably on his time, but never s looked like catching the leader. Mihad 1 was going as well as anything at the £ finish and Trevor Dillon also went a t solid race, but the rest performed poor- 4 ly. Reveille, Loyalty and Belinda King I all were in trouble at the start, and i Tui Coronado, after showing plenty of t pace in the early bit,, failed to stay. t EASY AGAIN FOR GAY PAREE. < The public wanted nothing but Gay £ Paree in the Ohawe Handicap, and he j won very easily. Two of the five start-

ers, Smooger and La Campione, took a long time to settle down, and Amy Etawah got away with a good lead from * Hue Coronado. Running out of the j straight Amy Etawah was ten . lengths clear of Hue Coronado, who was closely j follotved by Gay Parse. Hue Coronado j broke turning into the back, and Gay j Paree went on in second place. Approaching the top Amy Etawah was about eight lengths clear, but tiring, and £ Gay Paree began to gather her quickly. t She left her feet when he reached her ‘ at the turn into the straight, and though she was soon' going again, Gay Paree { went on to win, easing up, by three , lengths. Hue Coronado was 12, lengths £ away, and La Campione a long way J back. 1 Gay Paree, lost ground on Saturday when he . went to a break,. but on this occasion het never put a foot wrong.. Amy Etawah went another honest race, but £ was very tired after covering a mile, < Rounding the top Hue Coronado looked £ like getting second, bitt broke badly in ] straight.. Smooger, who had not i raced the first day, went very roughly, i and La Campione again was very uh- < certain in his gait. ] MILD 'DERBY’S COMFORTABLE WIN. , The Corrigan stable was again in the ascendant in the Kapuni Handicap. I Daddy Longlegs led Mild Derby around ’ the turn, but-half way down the straight 4 the latter went to the front, while Lee ; Nelson and Lady Coronado were not far 4 away. Round ■ the turn and into /the - back the four were racing in close order, J with Mr. Penalty and Highland Derby 1 a long "way back, and the -only change 4 in the next two furlongs was Lady Coronado’s move into third place. The four ' were still bunched all the way round ‘ the top, Mild Derby on . the rails just ‘ in front of Daddy Longlegs, with Lady ' Coronado going well. Mild Derby had ' no difficulty in holding his own in the 4 run to -the post, winning by a good 1 length from Daddy Longlegs, with Lady ’ Coronado, who came with a rattle in the ■* last fifty yards, half a length back. Mr. Penalty was a fair fourth, just beating < Lee Nelson. Mild Derby, a good second favourite, went just as good a race as bn the first day, when Princess Thea only just beat him. Daddy Longlegs showed improvement and battled out the journey very resolutely. Mr. Penalty was a solid favourite, but he showed very little pace in the early stages, neither he nor Highland Derby ever looking dangerous. The favourite was going at a good clip in the half-mile and may soon show up again. Lee Nelson failed to stay, and Highland Derby was never doing his best. THE CORRIGAN STABLE’S THIRD. In the Waimate Plains Handicap Arabond gave the Corrigan stable its third win of the day, and did it very handsomely. He began as well as any of the five starters, displacing Sandown, who dwelt a bit after stumbling, and going into third position behind Nelsonian and Rangihau. There was no .change in the first half mile, and running to the top turn Nelsonian was a length and ahalf in front of Rangihau, with Arabond two lengths back and Sandown, on the outside, just leading All Red. Entering the straight Arabond got a little closer, but it was not until they turned into the back that he went up to Rangihau, Before the turn was reached Arabond was only a lengtli away from Nelsonian, but the former then made his run and led into the straight. Corrigan kept Arabond going, and he won by three lengths from Nelsonian, who just lasted long enough to beat Sandown by a neck. All Red was three lengthy away fourth. Arabond appeared a little sore when he returned to the saddling paddock, but any soreness he may have felt had no effect on him in the race. His driver had him in a nice position from the start and took him to the front at. the right spot. The Worthy Bond gelding ran his race faster than on the first day, and probably the best has not yet been seen of him. Nelsonian’s time was the same as on Saturday, and he finished rather more strongly. Arabond was a good favourite. All Red was the second choice, but he took a little while to settle down and then made little impression. A HOT FAVOURITE BEATEN. Gay Payee’s presence almost paralysed speculation on the Opunake Handicap, the other three starters being neglected, but the hot favourite missed. La Campione went up in the air at the start and Kitty Patch led from Todd Bingen. For half a mile Gay Paree made no impression on the leaders, but then put the pace on and when the straight was reached had made up more than half his handicap. Kitty Patch broke turning out of the straight and Todd Bingen went on in front of La Campione, wh . however, took charge entering the back stretch, Todd Bingen being a long way in front of Kitty Patch and‘Gay Paree. The favourite was mov-

ing along in great style when he left his feet turning out of the back, and he broke again rounding the top. La Campione was now well clear of Todd Bingen and went on to win by half a dozen lengths from Kitty Patch, Todd Bingen breaking badly in the straiglit and finisheight lengths back, with the favourite out of the picture. La Campione went his best race for some time. He has plenty of speed, but is not reliable. That was the failing of most of these trotters, none of the four avoiding serious mistakes. SPECIAL SUN STAYS ON WELL. Rector went out to win the Stewards’ Handicap from end to end, but was a very tired horse tw.. furlongs from home and was well beaten by Special Sun. Rector, who began best, led Mihad round the turn and down the straight, but Mihad broke turning, into the back and Lady Coronado went on behind Rector. The leader drew out a little running along the hack and Special Sun gradually gathered Lady Coronado, 'passing her at the - next turn and going on in pursuit of Rector, whose driver was busy with the whip before the straight was reached. Special Sun had Rector’s measure when they straightened up and won by three lengths. Lady Coronado was six lengths away, followed at a similar distance by Mihad. Rector was a much better favourite than Special Sun, but could make little improvement on his handicap time. Special Sun finished impressively, giving C. S. Donald, the Christchurch trainer, his. first success at the meeting. Mihad again showed pace, but seems never to be sure of her gait. Princess Thea, a first day winner, made no impression on the front markers for the first half mile, and when she put on pace broke up very badly.

MR. PENALTY WINS DECISIVELY.

Tennessee’s Child began very smartly in the Kaponga Handicap and showed the way round the turn to Mr. Penalty, Manco being close up and Prince Pedro a good distance back, followed by Highland Derby, who had been slow to move, and Tini Uria, who had left the mark at a gallop. Mr. Penalty left his feet going along the back, and Manco headed him, Tennessee’s Child still going well in front. Running out of the straight the second time there was nothing between Mr. Penalty and Manco, who were a couple of lengths behind .Tennessee’s Child, while Prince Pedro was closing up. Tennessee’s Child broke badly running along the back and at the turn Mr. Penalty was leading from Prince Pedro, who had displaced Manco. Prince Pedro went in pursuit of the leader, but Shaw gave him u touch with the whip, and when • they straightened up for home Mr. Penalty was holding his own. He went on to win by four lengths from Prince Pedro. Tini Uria. twelve lengths back, headed the rest of a well beaten lot.

There was an inquiry into the winner’s running as compared with his earlier effort, and J. S. Shaw’s explanation was accepted. On this occasion the , winner was always well placed. Prince Pedro went another solid race, as on the first day, and wp.s unlucky to meet Mr. Penalty on his best behaviour. Tini Uria showed some speed, but is not too dependable.

SANDOWN SUCCEEDS AT LAST. Princess Thea showed in front at the start, of the Patea Handicap, but at once gave way to Poi, who led down the straight from Princess Thea and Raugihau. This was the order into the back, but a little further on Princess Thea broke and dropped back. At the turn out of the back Poj was just leading Rangihau, with Sandown and Nelsonian together a length and a half away, but before the straight was reached Rangihau was in front of Poi, and Sandown had caught ■ her as they straightened up, while Nelsonian on the outside was not far away. Sandown, soon had Rangihau and Poi beaten, and he had enough in reserve to stall off Nelsonian’s challenge, winning by a length and a-half. Rangihau was five lengths away, with Princess Thea, who finished fast, in fourth place. I Princess Thea, in spite of her earlier failure, was a good fav. ..rite, but her blunder in the back stretch was fatal to h-.r chance. Sandown was very well handled by C. S. Donald, who saved a bit of ground and made his run cleverly at the straight entrance. Nelsonian was a good way out until the straight was reached, Hut came home in good style. Rangihau was beaten for pace at the finish, and Poi had had enough at the end of a mile.
