In the Trial Handicap they elected Great Admiral a staunch favourite, and there was good support for Mute and Audo Patch. The start was a general mix-up, practically all the field breaking and Mute galloping off the mark. Mute was in front when he settled down, attended by Audo Patch, \oung Rodney, Waikato Prince and Meadow King. Mute was still in charge as they came round to the stands, followed by Young Rodney, Audo Patch and Waikato Prince, with a gap of 100 yards to Great Admiral. Audo Patch then put in a fast run and was the pilot as they raced along the back from Mute, Meadow King (breaking), Young Rodney and Waikato Prince. The order was much the same into the straight, but Mute then came through to head Audo Patch in the run home, and win by half a length with \ oung Rodney five lengths away third. W aikato Prince, Great Admiral and Meadow King were next to finish. Waiheke Handicap. In the Waiheke Handicap most money came for Proletarian, Rare Rey and Muriel Bond.
