THE RACING REVIEWED. (Special to the “ Herald.”) DUNEDIN, June 6. Cold and showery weather prevailed for the final day of the winter meeting and the track was very heavy. Despite this there were few scratchings, and Squatter and Driftless were the only acceptors which did not race during the day. The racing was good, but favourites failed consistently to secure first honours. , The first day winner Umtali was in better demand than Tractarian and Heather Lad for the Tahuna Steeplechase. Umtali and Star Tractor were in charge six furlongs from home, and were then joined by Cultivator, who defeated Umtali after a good race, by half a length. Heather Lad was ten lengths behind the favourite, with Star Tractor next. Cultivator bumped his rider off at the sod wall on the first day, but was remounted and finished fairly close to the place-getters. He was bracketed with Koremata. R. Beale, on Cultivator, scored his first win over fences. Kaikahu fell at the log fence, and Tractarian was pulled up.

Despite his load of 9.13 (reduced 51b by an apprentice allowance), the Invercargill four-year-old The Smuggler, was installed favourite for the Aidworth Handicap, Ballance being In more demand than Sailing Home. Palmary, Sailing Home and Spanish Maid were in command at the top, and were joined at the home turn by The Smuggler. An exciting finish resulted in A. Eastwood getting Spanish Maid home by a neck from the top-weight, who claimed a similar advantage from Sailing Home. Ballance, who had been some distance back, was running on in fourth place. Spanish Maid, who is in the same Gore stable as the crack Palermo, is by Balboa, who is responsible for The Smuggler also. Spanish Maid has taken a little time to over-

come a nervous tendency on race days, but her followers collected a nice dividend.

The Ashburton gelding Punchestown wound up a better favourite than Wingatui for the King George Handicap, which this year was run over a mile and a quarter. Previously the distance had been a mile. Charmaine showed out first, but Punchestown and Ball Dress led round the top, and to the home turn from Night Maid. In the straight Salmo Salar threw out a strong challenge and vigorously ridden defeated Punchestown by a head. Night Maid was third, four lengths away, then came Wingatui. Salmo Salar thus won both open mile and a quarter handicaps at the meeting. Mount Boa was slow to move and did not get near the leaders. Membo, with a concession of 61b, was backed to reverse first day positions with Aladdin in the Greenfield Hurdles, his supporters being further strengthened by his proved ability in deep going. Captain’s Gift, Aladdin, and Camisader made all the running, and turned for home together. Membo put in his claim in the straight and headed Camisader and Captain's Gift, but could not quite reach Aladdin, who won by a short length. Camisader, who was making his first appearance in a hurdle race, and hit the last fence hard, was about three lengths away, followed by High Gear. Aladdin has had only three starts over hurdles, and the Washdyke gelding has the good record of a fourth and two wins.

The Gore champion Palermo was backed to complete a hat trick in the Empire Handicap, Assemble being in more request than Master Anomaly. His rise in weight stopped Palermo, who was never dangerous. Master Anomaly was quickest to begin, and led all the way to win by a neck from Waving Com, who was half a length ahead of Royal Saxon. Assemble was next. Master Anomaly and Waving Corn were last to finish in the sprint on the opening day, but Master Anomaly had finished second on Thursday. Snowfall, West Dome and Radiac were fancied In that order for the Dunedin Steeplechase, but the supporters of all three lost their money at the post and rails on the northern bend, about a mile from home. Tunamoe and Kapuna were left well clear, and raced In company for the rest of the trip. In a desperate finish Kapuna won by a head, but as the result of an inquiry the plaeings were reversed and the race awarded to Tunamoe. L. Hunt, rider of Kapuna, was disqualified for six months for boring, while N, Trillo, who steered Tunamoe, was fined £2 for using his whip on Kapuna. Hunt had been before the stewards on the first day to explain why he took Terehu inside a guide rail in the Hunters’ Steeplechase. Valves finished about ten lengths behind Tunamoe and Fabriano was fourth.

Southland provided another favourite in the Domain Hack, Consono having more supporters than the Water PowerTraction couplet. Winsome Hind showed the way round the home turn, and in the run to the judge held off Genteel and won by a long neck. Water Power was half a length further back, with Miss Redowa fourth. Winsome Hind ran a poor race on Wednesday, but won against weak opposition in the novice evefit on the second day. Genteel, a four-year-old daughter of Solferino, should win races when she learns to begin better. Rascal, a proved mudlark, who had two seconds at the meeting to his credit, was backed with spirit for the Farewell Handicap, the others with most adherents being Greenaway and Bin Tin Tin. Greenaway piloted Waving Com and Rin Tin Tin to the straight, the favourite being fourth. In the home stretch Waving Corn took charge and stayed on to win by half a length from Rascal. Rin Tin Tin was a length away, Red Boa being fourth. Waving Com, who is now trained at Oamaru by J. Ross, has a-great record at Wingatui, but this was her first win there in an open race at seven furlongs, and this fact accounted for the liberal price she paid.

Rain overnight made the Addington track a shade slower than on the opening day of the Canterbury Park meeting, but the going was still fast. A strong southerly had more effect on the times than the track conditions. Proceedings opened with the Yaldhurst Handicap, for trotters, for which Welcome Guy and Kereta were in most demand. Wah, Electioneer Child, Welcome Guy and Hawkesbury’s Pride broke up at the start. Mat Voyage led Kereta out of the straight, and at the end of two furlongs, Great Nelson and Todd Lonzla were heading the others. There was little change starting on the last lap, where most of the field were closing up. Todd Lonzia joined Mat Voyage going along the back with Kereta, Merce Bingen and Great Nelson heading the others, who were in a bunch. A furlong further on Mat Voyage retired, Todd Lonzia and Merce Bingen leading round the turn from Deceitful arid Mountain Mist. Todd Lonzia broke when the straight was reached, leaving Merce Bingen in the lead. She tired in the run home and an exciting finish saw Mountain Mist beat Deceitful by a neck, with Merce Bingen a head away. Repute was six lengths further back, with Climax at the head of the others. The winner was the extreme outsider.

Netta Oro was the popular selection for the Peninsula Handicap, followed in public estimation by Logaleen and Ayrmont Chimes. Netta Oro led Kreisler and Logaleen out of the straight, then Priceless took charge. Roicole moved up fast in the back stretch and took the lead at the end of three furlongs. Roicole led past the stand, with Priceless, Logaleen, Brentlight, Netta Oro and Awaiti heading a bunch, just behind him. Priceless again took charge three furlongs from home and led round the turn from Brentlight, Logaleen and Netta Oro. At the entrance to the straight Holly Bank commenced to move up. Priceless was in trouble one hundred yards from the post, and an exciting finish resulted in Netta Oro beating Brentlight by a head, with Holly Bank another head away. Priceless was three lengths back. Ayrmont Chimes fell. Brentlight was neglected by backers and just failed to bring off another surprise. For the principal event of the day, the Paparua Handicap, Happy Land was No. 1 selection, with the crack three-year-old Red Shadow second choice. Sunny Bob led Steel All, Cyone and Rollo along the back, but Cyone took charge after going two furlongs. Cyone was showing the way at the stand to Steel All, Pageant, Sunny Bob and Milo Minto. There was no change along the back, where Neeoro and Glenrossie commenced to move up. Avenger joined Cyone in the lead at the mile, and starting on the last lap, the two were still in front, with Pageant, Steel All, Milo Minto and Glenrossie next. Red Shadow made a fast run on leaving the straight, and half a mile from home he joined Cyone in the lead, with Glenrossie and Neeoro next. Cyone then retired, the other three going on from Pageant. Two furlongs from home Red Shadow dropped out, and Glenrossie led Pageant, Milo Minto and Rollo round the home turn. Glenrossie faded in the last hundred yards, and Milo Minto got up to beat Rollo by a neck. Pageant was half a length away, -while two lengths further back came Glenrossie at the head of the remainder. Milo Minto was bracketed with Great Logan. Backers were more successful in dealing with the Aviation Handicap, for trotters. The favourite, White Satin, failed to secure a place, but the third and second favourites returned dividends. Stand By began smartly, and at the end of a furlong had Nelson Boy, Nelson Ata, All Peters and Boneta as his nearest attendants. There was no ohange for the first mile, and entering on the last lap, Stand By was two lengths in front of Nelson Boy and All Peters, with Nelson Ata a length away. The positions were unchanged three furlongs from home, where Boneta and White Satin were handy behind the bunch. Stand By led Nelson Boy and Nelson Ata into the straight, with Boneta moving up fast. Stand By held his lead, stalling off a challenge from Nelson Ata to win by half a length. Boneta was a length away, with Nelson Boy three lengths further back. There was a prolonged and very hostile demonstration against the winner, the ex-Waimate trotter having failed on the first day when heavily supported by the public. The stewards held an inquiry, but the difference in track conditions was sufficient to cause the explanation to be accepted. There was a small field in the Ellesmere Handicap, and it was a poor race. Ngingongingo and Belinda drew most support, and they led the field home, though in the opposite order. Belinda went to the front at the start and was never caught. Lifebuoy, Carbine Direct and Sonoma followed her in the early stages. Ngingongingo took second place half a mile from home, but Belinda won easily by eight lengths. Sonoma was a similar distance behind Ngingongingo, with St. George fourth. In the Stewards’ Handicap, Satin King was installed a hot favourite, with Major Lind and Glenrossie next in demand. Satin King broke after going a furlong, and did not settle down until his chance had gone. Norwester began very smartly, and at the end of a furlong the grey was well clear of John Noble and Major Lind, with Steel All at the head of the others. Norwester was showing the way to John Noble and Major Lind passing the stand, with Teremoa, Steel All, The Abbey, Harvest Child and Nelson d’Oro following in that order. Three furlongs from home Norwester was just clear of Major Lind, with The Abbey and Nelson d'Oro in close ati tendance. Major Lind retired when the - straight was reached. Norwestei* was : still in front at this stage, but The ’ Abbey wore him down to win by half , a length. Steel All was half a length away, with Nelson d’Oro and Harvest Child almost on terms. The Abbey is a speedy pacer, but has a bad record for standing on the mark. The mile saddle race was not exciting as the Donald candidate Awaiti made a l first-out-first-home affair of it. The Southland Meteor had the largest fol- ! lowing, but was not equal to the task set him. Awa-iti was smartest out, but E Kreisler and Sunchild were in close f attendance, with Dick Swithin and ) Our Bird next. The order was un-

changed going along the back, where Wild Voyage and Meteor were moving up fast. Awa-iti was well clear at the entrance to the straight, and won easily by four lengths. Sunchild followed Awa-iti to the straight and lasted long enough to stall off a challenge from Wild Voyage by a head. Meteor was fourth. The mile harness event, the Au Revoir Handicap Handicap, was much more thrilling, and was comparatively the fastest race of the day. Cranleigh, Delightful and Norwester was the order of preference when the machine was balanced. Orphan failed to go off. Norwester was smartest out, followed by Tumatakuru and Mac Dillon, while at the end of two furlongs Editor, Cranleigh, Major Lind and Pageant were next. Three furlongs from home Tumatakuru lost his place, Norwester going on from a big bunch headed by Mac Dillon. These two led into the straight, where the field closed up. There was an exciting finish, Delightful beating Ma jor Lind by a neck, with Norwester half a length away, while Cranleigh and Tumatakuru were at the head of the others. ASHBURTON TROTTING CLUB.
