Mishaps aided Illuminate to score a decisive victory in the Kairanga Hurdles. . Te Ua, Tareha and Illuminate were the leaders half a mile from home and at the fence crossing the top Te Ua jumped the course railing. Tareha and Illuminate came at the last hurdle together, Tareha falling and allowing Illuminate to score a twenty lengths victory from Pango, who beat Park Acre by four lengths, ; with Bun Tuck fourth. Te Ua received frightful injuries and was shot, his rider , P. Burgess was unhurt. Acceptable a Good Sort.

Acceptable, who was second favourite, nearly as well backed as Cawbeen, for the Lockwood Handicap, won by two lengths pulling up. He was in . front early and led into the straight from Hatuma, who always was well placed. Coronilla was just behind these two and Dollar Bill was next Coronilla headed Hatuma at the foot of the straight and lasted just, long enough to beat Owlsgleam for second place. Contact a head away fourth finishing fast, and close up to the placed division were.

Cawbeen, Hatuma, Count Willonyx, Harvest Moon and Wahine Mui. Merry Cry bolted and eventually got away a chain behind the field. The winner was always speedy and has’come very solid. Coronilla, Hatuma, Cawbeen, Contact and Dollar Bill all ran well. The Tamatete Handicap. Korokio and Red Sun made most of the running in the Tamatete Handicap from Rust and Aga Khan, with Might next and Red Manfred and Davistock last. There were few changes in position till the field entered the straight, when Red Manfred pounced on the leaders and soon had the race in hand. Hard-: ridden Might finished second a little in front of Red Sun, with Hazoor fourth,. Run Solid Finisher. Cyclonic, Arena, Sanguine King and Pomp ran in line to the straight in the Stonyhurst Handicap, with Midian, Ruri and Full Throttle following, and Walton Park last Cyclonic had just beaten the others in a hard finish when Ruri shot through with a devastating run and won by a neck, with Pomp another neck away third and Arena fourth.
