CORNISH MAKES AMENDS

ROTORUA SUCCESS A DAY OF SURPRISES KAKARERE AT LONG ODDS i MAY SONG SCORES IN LAST The success of Trilliarch in the Borough Handicap, in which he returned over a third of a century on the win machine, and the triumphs of Kakarere in the Electric Handicap, at over a score, and Lady Acushla, Hutana and May Song, who won at double figures straight out. contributed to a surprising series of , dividends on the second and con- « eluding day, yesterday, of the Roto- j rua Racing Club’s annual meeting at I Arawa Park. Cornish made amends when he j won in an exciting finish with the • first-day winner, Kena, while in the . open sprint Trilliarch sprung a sur- ! prise when he lasted sufficiently long j to win from Penzane and Sir Robin. ■ As on opening day there were fur- ; ther demonstrations against the judge, the most pronounced occurring in the fifth race when No. 7 (Panthiest)) was placed third instead of Valerian (No. 2), who had appeared to finish in that position. After a minimum of delay the numbers were altered. In the following , race there was another demonstra- ■ tion, this time against the delay on j the judge’s part in hoisting the placings. In the concluding event, the Kia Ora Handicap, the original figures were shown as No. 9 (May Song), first; No. 2 (Brazilian), second: and No. 6 (Grand City), third. These were later altered to No. 9, first; No. 6, second; Brazilian, third, and Raceline, fourth. Concluding results were:— RENNIE BTAKES HANDICAP or £140; 5i rur. i —I—MERRY STAKES, Mr J. C.
