FAVOURITES’ DAY AT FEILDING

WELL-BACKED WINNERS

MANCHESTER HANDICAP WON BY KOTUA | PREMATURE'S SPRI.\T Favourites enjoyed an innings at the opening uay uf the Fvildlug Jockey Ciuus m-e.ing o.i Saturday, for live of the eignt winners were the elect of backers, and another favourite finished second. That tne public were well on the mark is evident flora the fact that the oest dividenu of the day, that returned by Renascoi in the distance hack event, was [ under douole ligules. i Rain the previous day and also in [ the early morning made tile ouUook I rather unpromising, but the weather cleared and the day was line, with a good drying breeze. The attendance, .hough not up to last year’s, was good, and the totalisator decrease oi £1192, from 122.442 last year to £21,250, was not unexpected. The track was a trifle dead, but it improved during the afternoon. Kotua, as expected, registered a clear-cut victory in the main event, tile Manchester Handicap, justifying tile odds that were laid on hei chances. The Kincardine mare was always within striking distance oi the pacemaker, Khuija, and after getting on terms with mm al the six lurlongs, then assumed tne lead. Sire was joined by Aurora’s Star crossing the top, and they were followed into tiie straight by Dynasty and Talenla. Dynasty challenged beiow the distance, out rteusloile, on me favourite, rode a confident race to win by hah a length, third, a length anu a-hail away, was Aurora’s Star, just ahead of Talenla, and The Buzzer .finished fast into fourth place. Premature was nearly twice as well backed as Pay Roll m the Flying Handicap, anu site won just as easily as a good filly could be expected. Race Away look the lead off Wmgs or Song alter a furlong anu was oowiing along nicely clear of Vvlfigs of Song, Pay Roll, Ring Chief, Lnncn anu Ranahanga al the halt-miie, with Premature well back. Enrich anil Pay Roll were in command a lurlong from home, but Premaluie came home very fast to win, going away, by a length and a-half. Enrich beat Pay Roll by a neck for second berth, with Rakalianga fourth, two lengths away. Wings of Song, Race Away and Sir Beau were next. Black Thread, a generous-priced favourite for the Kiwitea Handicap, took the lead off the pacemaking Glaciate al the straight entrance, but could not hold off Surveyor-General’s run, and the Surveyor gelding ran on [to win by a short length. Dam Eagle [finished on for third, ahead of Bouen 'Park, Poutatau and Colincamps. The Minor Events. . The Riccarton-trained Roy Bun scored decisively in the Vvaituna I Hack Hurdles, going to the front live I furlongs from nome and show ing too [much pace for the remainder. Distress Signal, an early pacemaker, i made a final dab to beat his stablemate, Hagen, out of second money, [with Hile Selassie close up, lourtn, ahead of Travail. Duality, runner-up to Dungloe at Levin, was favourite for the Aorangi Trial Plate and finished fast to cue down Sea Quex, who had headed Greek Dancer a furlong troni home. Golden Tide, Goldform and Swell Chance were next to finish.

Foreign Coins half-sister, Foreign Princess, scored a runaway win ml the Feiiding Juvenile Slakes, for which Rink was three times better backed. Foreign Princess reproduced the speed which the first showed at Marton, where she is trained tor Mr. W. R- Duncan by F. C. McHugh. War Effort came on to beat Broielorl Star for second, with Kink and OnAlone four lengths further back. Auburn Lad was well ciear at one stage ot the Kowfiai Hack nanuicap. j out Courting run past him to leau into the straight, lhe ueid ouncneu at the distance, where Kenascor assumed command to win oy a rengui from Marlene, with a bigger ouurue. in Goldburn in third piace. laane rango was fourth, ahead of Stairway, Courting and Te Oriko twfio aid not get a good passage). High Class, tne lavourne, was well back. L. G. Morris' Awapuni stable provided first and second favourites in the Fiztroy Hack Handicap in Giaecoxtoman and Caroline Bay respectively, and the pair had the finish to themselves, for Graeco-Roman to beat his stablemale by a short length. Caroline Bay made tne pace most of the way for Graeco-Roman, and at the finish Legal was the nearest of the remainder, two and a-half lengths awya, ahead of Soutane, Lavoy and All Bunsby.
