Arran had not won a race for just on three years when he scored in the five-furlong race at Paeroa on Saturday. His last previous win was when he beat Desert Gold in the A.R.C Champagne Stakes at two years old. * * * * The contest for the light harness horsemen’s premiership has been a close one for some time past, with V. Alborn 11 wins and J. Bryce and A. Pringle equal at 10 successes each, but the Timaru Trotting Club’s fixture put another complexion on the situation. Commencing with the square-gaited gelding Succory (Marvin Wilkes —Success), A. Pringle won the Waimate Handicap in 3.56, and followed this up with two other victories in succession. He drove the winner of the Timaru Handicap, Harold Devon, in 4.44, and captured the Seadown Handicap with Mr. J. Grice’s Lady Willings (Rothschild — Prince Imperial mare), in 3.33 3-sth. Pringle thus heads the winning list with 13 firsts to his credit. Succory, it may be mentioned, is on the limit of the Waverley Trot (class 3.48) on the first day of the Southland Racing Club’s autumn meeting. In the Waimate Handicap, Succory led all the way and won pulling up by four lengths.
