A feature of the third day’s racing at Wingatui was the fact that the three pumping events —-the Victoria Hurdles, Dunedin Steeplechase, and Third Hack Steeplechase —were all won by actual favourites, Calma, Morecambe and Dardanelles, respectively. The Dunedin Jockey Club intend making the winter meeting a threeday one in future, and reducing the Dunedin Cup meeting to two days. This is not favoured in some quarters, but the recent meeting turned out very well and may increase in favour. If a lot more owners would turn their attention to jumping races with the material available it would pay. Jeannot, the half-brother to Scotty, if he had been started earlier at the jumping business might have secured some real good races at the game.
