Trooper North went to the front at the start of the Hack and Hunters’ Steeplechase. and soon had a lead of six lengths. Oriflamb. Royal Land, Calham and Antrim Boy were next at the end of half a mile. Trooper North being still in front. Oriflamb then took the lead and won by one and a half lengths from Calham, who lasted long enough to beat Antrim Boy by a neck. Royal Land was fourth. Shamfight and Topthorn were in front all the way in the Novice Stakes, Shamfight drawing away in the straight to win by a length. Palantua, after being badly placed in the early stages, finished fast two lengths away, beating Gold Dress by two lengths. Adult was next.

Sun Brown took the lead at the start in the Oamaru Trot Handicap, and after covering two furlongs, he had Nelson Locanda. Little Claire, Guyziah and Almont Cling just behind him. Guyziah took second place half a mile from home where Nelson Locanda retired. Guyziah drew out in the straight and won easily by five lengths from Little Claire, who beat the tiring Sun Brown by two lengths. Almont Cling and Ayrshire were next a long way back. The success of Guyziah was anticipated after his form at Ashburton. In the Grange Handicap Rascal and Mount Boa led First Raid to the back stretch, while at the end of three furlands, Pakitere, after getting off badly, had come to the front with Mount Boa, Rascal, Water Power and A 1 Jolson next. Pakitere was beaten when the straight was reached, leaving Mount Boa in front with A 1 Jolson, Rascal and Water Power leading the other!. Mount Boa easily held his place and beat Rascal by two lengths. A 1 Jolson faded out and Weatherley came with a late run to beat Water Power on the post for third place. The winner’s performance was very impressive and drew attention to his prospects at Trentham.

Pharaoh, Craigavon and Silver Salver led Appeal past v tb e stand in the Winter Hack Handicap. Craigavon took the lead after two furlongs had been covered, the other three following him to the back straight. Pharaoh retired at the six furlong mark, and at the tar turn, Craigavon had Appeal as his nearest attendant, with Silver Salver and First Song next. Silver Salver was beaten when the straight was reached, Academy moving up at this | stage. Craigavon won by two lengths, I while Dressy, finishing very fast, beat Academy by a length for second place. First Song was close up, with Appeal and Ballance next. Craigavon broke a long run of bad luck with this win, having been in minor places during his last five engagements. In the Waikaura Trot Handicap, Hard Words fell soon after the start, interfering with Black Jester, who lost a lot of ground. Chenwood led out from Almont Cling, Tat Wrack and Te Kinga, who were joined along the back by Ayrshire and Stella Bingen. Chenwood was never headed, and won easily by two lengths from Te Kinga, who finished fast and beat Stella Bingen by six lengths, Tat Wrack being close up. Belvoir was smartest out, followed by Some Good, Hot Tea and Red Royal. Red Royal met some trouble and lost his place. Belvoir was never headed and won by three lengths from i lan’s March, who was in a handy position at the entrance to the straight. Red Royal, with a late run, cut Some Good out of third place.
