ENJOYMENT’S STEEPLES

KANUI TE PAI TAKES McRAE < HANDICAP AT HAWERA AUCKLAND STABLES HAVE ■ SUCCESSFUL DAY Features of Saturday’s race meet- 1 ings at Havvera, where the Egmont Racing Club’s winter fixture was , held, were the successes which went down to the credit of the visiting ‘ contingent from the Auckland province, the surprise by the Awapunitrained Kanui Te Pai in the Mcßae - Handicap, and the outstanding performance of Enjoyment in winning ( the Egmont Steeplechase after earlier in the day running fourth in the Ton- , gahoe Hurdles. The first sensation in the Egmont Steeplechase was the early mistake of ; the topweight, Streamline, who j stumbled on landing over the first i of the brush double in front of tne ; stands, dislodging his rider. Stream- i line went on riderless to lead ihe field J for another six furlongs before running off. De Friend, Erination, Tide- ’ waiter and Dozie Boy were promi- ; nent early, and ’the second time over ’ the double Tidewaiter and Erination , were closely attended by Segra, Chat, , Dozie Boy, De Friend and Enjoyment. Ruling S.ar, always at the rear, bled £ and was pulled up half a mile from 1 home. Chai ran into the lead with i j live furlongs lo go, where Enjoyment | ( was making a forward move, and j ( Tidewaiter had cried enough. Chat; ] made a bad jump at the post and rails ' < and Segra took the lead, but when I i li e Siegfried gelding fell at the sec- v end last fence Enjoyment was left in | front. Fencing safely the Excitement . gelding ran home a winner by a dozen lengths from Dozie Boy. who stayed on better than Chat. Cherry Plum was a fair fourth, followed by Conflagration, Karere-nui and Erination. Tidewaiter’s rider. P. Brady, was taken to hospital with an injured knee. Kanui Te Pai gave nothing else a t-hance over the concluding stages of the Mcßae Handicap and returned a □ividmd not far short of a score. Expellant and Surveyor-General made Ihe early pace from The Ring, Full -J Hand, Chief Lord and Lambourr, with Amigo and Kanui Te Pai at tne prear. Radiant Vaals ran up quickly J. at the half-mile and Kanui came very fast round his field, taking . the lead off Radiant Vaals at the straight entrance. Amigo put in a fast run across the top. but Kanui Te Pai ran home for a six lengths win, ( Lambourn finishing better than Sur- 2 veyor-General for second place, Mm- g ority fourth, ahead of Regal Fox, Radiant Vaals and Amigo. Auckland provincial stables were 9 prominent early in ihe day, Besiege j and Erndale being first and third re- | spectively in the Tongahoe Hurdles, j y. In the second division of the Tele- : graph Hack the winner, Black Re-1 narde, was formerly in the stable of i 11. Eva Green Lane, but is now train- i 4 ed at Hawera by O. Cox. The runner- , 1 up is trained at Ellerslie. Besiege .< 2 trainer provided the winner of tne Hawera Handicap, and the next event. I the Egmont Steeplechase, was won by | another Ellerslie candidate. The : \ Matamata-trained Hinkler just failed ; < by a head to beat Lotto in the Cham- ' > pion Hack Plate. Another from the 'I Auckland province in Prince Louis 1 was runner-up to Darag in the Hacx Scurry, and to atone for their failure 1 in the Mcßae Handicap Rara Avis ' placed the concluding event to tne J credit of the Auckland contingent. Incessant rain on Friday night 1 had made the frack very heavy, and frequent showers thigjughout the day I made conditions underfoot unpleasant, c Still, there was a large attendant'?. J Big fields caused the programme to .3 get behind schedule, and the final race was run an hour late. Early in the ■ I day a couple of thousand pounds J must have been shut out on tiw-; ' machine, but the totalisator handled i £23,090 10s. an increase of £6198 10s I over the £21,992 put through last j year, when there were seven races, i ( Course scratchings obviated divisions : • save in the Telegraph Hack Handicap.
