NAPIER PARK RACING CLUB. WINTER MEETING. FIRST DAY. KHARTOUM WINS NAPIER PARK ‘ STEEPLECHASE. (From Our Napier Correspondent.) The weather on Friday was not so good as it had been for several days prior to the opening day of the Napier Park R.C.’s winter venture, but it might have been worse. The threatened rain was conspicuous by its absence, albeit it got wintry as the afternoon wore on, but patrons rallied in good force. They evidently had not left their money behind them, for when the 'figures were totted up after the last race it was seen that last year’s total for the winter meeting had been exceeded by £1843. the respective amounts invested being as under: 1919, £19,955; Friday last, £21,798. The course was in tip-top order, and its condition reflected much credit on those responsible for its care, while owners and trainers expressed their appreciation at the first-class order of the track. Mr. A. G. Wood was in his best form with the lever, notwithstanding he had some big fields to dismiss on their errands, and his equitable send-offs met with the satisfaction that they deserved. Handicapper Coyle set backers a hard row to hoe in the solution of the various problems, and he landed on top, for only a couple of the warm selections got there, while three of them acted as runners-up, but in no case did their supporters get back the equivalent of their original investments.
All Over was picked as the goods in the Moteo Hack Hurdles, with Ladogeur and Hendra backed next in order. The favourite was well up during the journey, but he was certainly not handled as capably as could have been desired, and at the finish was no match for Mrs. M. A. Perry’s Australian-bred representative, Hendra, who came home on the bit. being three lengths in advance of All Over when the post was reached. The trainer of Hendra did not conceal the
fact that he expected his charge to run well, and his opinion was amply borne out by the essay of his pupil. Marshal Neil, who secured third berth, shaped really well for a green one at the business, and there is no doubt that Percy Johnson has got more than a useful sort in the son of Gravitation and Astrea, and a better day should shortly be in store for him.
The money came good and solid for Oakleigh in the Petane Hack Steeplechase, and he was soon a leader in the betting over -the event, Manhattan being second pick and Notability third choice. The last-named soon dispelled the hopes of his backers, for he early got round the corner of one of the obstacles, and that was good-bye to his chance. Slumix, whp was one of the outside fraternity, made play from the rise of the tapes and held his own to the last fence, where he commenced to show signs of tiring, and the favourite, finishingwell, just pipped him on the post by a wink. “Look how Oakleigh is flying,” was the universal cry as the favourite commenced to gather up Slumix over the last half-furlong, but it was not Oakleigh who was going so fast but Slumix slowing down that gave the former impression. Manhattan was a bad third, and there is no doubt that had his pilot kept him in closer touch with his field a different history in connection with the contest would have had to be recorded. The Auckland-owned gelding returned a good price taking into consideration his recent good performances at Ellerslie. It came along the wind, and the wheeze was caught by everyone that Gold Kip would be home and dried in the Stewards’ Stakes Handicap. Naturally there was a rush for his tickets, and he wound up a good favourite. Heather Sprig and Risingham were backed in that order respectively for second and third choice. Heather Sprig got to the front from the uplift of the tapes, and. what is more, stopped there, though he had to do his best to shake off the attentions of the 'favourite over the last bit. Maioha put in a great run over the last half-
furlong and only got beaten for second place by Gold Kip by a lip. Goldshine, who had the assistance of Sid Reid, looked to have great chances three furlongs from home, but when asked to come on did the “Last Rose of Summer” stunt, fading right out of it.
Luke, who looked in apple-pie order, was installed first pick for the Napier Steeplechase, Guanaco and First Line being most in request of the other contestants. The fancied ones failed by the wayside, for Guanaco soon relieved his backers of any interest in the contest by running off. First Line got into bother that blotted out his prospects, while Luke was never in a position to flatter his supporters, and eventually secured third berth. The honours of the race went to one of the neglected ones in Khartoum, who won by a couple of lengths from Peneton and rewarded those loyal to him with a dividend of over a score. Maraetotara ran off. Polthogue came to grief, while Old Mungindi unseated his rider at the sod wall, apparently meeting with interference which caused him to swerve at the obstacle in question. N. McDonnell, the rider of Polthogue, suffered a broken collarbone through his mount coming to grief. An enquiry was held by the stewards regarding the interference to Old Mungindi by Guanaco, but after hearing what Rangi Thompson (rider of Guanaco) had to say on the subject the stewards accepted the explanation, deciding to take no action.
Ruddy was picked as the best of good things for the Ladies’ Necklace, with ' Pretty Bobby second in request and Ethiopian third pick. The lastnamed endeavoured to win all the way, but at the bottom of the straight was gathered in by the favourite, who only had to do half his best to be assured of victory. Ruddy’s win was comfortably achieved from Powder King, one of the forlorn hopes, who was well handled by Mr. S. Howard, the Gisborne gentleman rider. Want, who had broken down on the eve of the meeting, was the only withdrawal from the Ahuriri Hurdles, and backers came at Zola solid, installing him first choice, with Paddington Green second favourite and Goldstream next in request. It was a patchily-run race, for there were several changes throughout the contest, but at the finish Paddington Green made easy work of it. winning with a bit in hand from the favourite. Goldstream being an indifferent third. There was a big field in the Settlers’ Hack Handicap, Miss Giron finishing up favourite. Ngata being second selection and Lord Astolat third in request. The favourite was chopped out at the start, the advantage being held by Magistrate, with Mosthenes at his heels. At the home bend the latter took charge, and finishing with vigour registered an easy score by a good couple of lengths from Lord Astolat, with Piro Piro third. The winner paid a great price. Miss Giron, who had all the worst of the run, for she got into a lot of bother, can gallop fast, and it looks a fair presumption to put her down as a likely one to score in the near future. Mosthenes was bred by his owner. Mr. C. E. Twist, one of the stewards of the Napier Park Racing Club, and is one of the Demosthenes tribe. The results were: —

The climate was more like winter on Saturday, when the Napier Park Racing Club’s fixture was concluded, being several degrees colder than was the case on Friday. As the day got older it became plainly apparent that the Watery God was going to get busy, and the writing on the wall turned out accurate, for when the contestants were getting ready for the Park Steeplechase down came the rain and continued to just prior to the start of the final event. However, the crowd was there, and naturally the attendance did not suffer, patrons being in stronger force than was the case on the opening after'noon. Betting was brisk, albeit that the totalisator investments shrunk a bit when compared with the sum machined on the second day of the winter meeting in 1919, the respective figures being: Last season. £24,785; on Saturday, £23,850. of £935 to leeward. As there was an increase on the first day of £1843. the total investments for the meeting headed off last year’s takings by £9OB. That Handicapper Coyle got backers tangled up was demonstrated by the fact, that during the day not a single first favourite had his number hoisted in the winning square, and but a couple of the warm lots got into the second dividend. Mr. A. G'. Wood was again in great form at the barrier, and his dismissals left nothing for the most captious to grumble about.
Fife and. Drum, a stable comrade of Heather Sprig, who is by the same sire (Heather Mixture), was made a good favourite for the Meanee Hack Handicap, Piro Piro and Miss Giron being second and third favourites respectively. Backers were astray in their calculations, as neither of the trio got a one, two or three, the award coming to the Auckland-owned gelding Sanacre, who in the last bit just upended Yankee Dan. who had held command from the lift of the tapes. Magistrate, who is coming back to form, was third, and in this connection his backers would be wise to bear him in mind for engagements at Hastings this week. The winner was well supported by several of the heads, and those lucky enough to be in the know got a nice price. Ngata, after doing a preliminary, appeared as if he was sore, and the idea was borne out by his running, for he was never prominent during the trip. Of the thirteen contestants assembled for the Wiohiki Hack Hurdles Ladogeur was backed down to under level money, second favouritism resting with Marshal Neil, who had run a more than decent third on the previous afternoon, while Pretty Bobby was third in request. Backers of the favourite soon got their death knoll, for he made a mistake at the hurdle in the straight, and good money was spilled. Ethiopian set out to win all the way, but his prospects were blotted out at the six furlongs, for he tipped the hurdle there, unseating his rider. A bit further on Banogue tossed out. and the hurdle in the straight settled King Albert, his rider (P. McGuire) getting a nasty spill and upon being examined by the doctor it was found that he had suffered concussion of the brain, which necessitated his removal to the hospital. Over the last couple of furlongs Marshall Neil held the kev to the position, and going on in good style won as- he liked from Pretty Bobby, with Raumanuwhiri, who. if she sobers down, in her future attempts over the battens will have good prospects of getting on the winning list. P. Johnson, who trains Marshall Neil, won the corresponding event last
year with Movement, who ran in his interests on tVie occasion mentioned. The winner, who is by G'ravitation out of Astrea, rewarded his backers with a fairly good dividend. All of the overnight acceptors toed the mark in the Winter Oats, and the wheeze went around that Heather Sprig would be sure to repeat his previous day’s performance, and a trot set in to buy his tickets. Gold Kip was the next to be befriended, while Maioha was third pick. At one stage of the race it looked as if the first and second favourites would finish in the order in which they were backed, but over the last fifty yards Gold Kip got to Heather Sprig and silenced him in decisive style by a length, Arch Salute being a couple of lengths away third. This full brother to First Salute looks as if in the near future he will credit Mr. Hardy with a win. Gold Kip won the corresponding event last year when he started fourth favourite and was ridden by L. H. Hewitt. Khartoum was the only one taken out of the field listed for the Park Steeplechase, favouritism resting with Maraetotara, Peneton being second choice and Wirokino third selection. In contrast to the exhibition of lepping in the Napier Steeplechase on Friday the fencing was good, for out of the thirteen runners mistakes were only made by three of them, Foemen, Notability and Manhattan, while in the Napier Steeplechase but a quartette of the eleven runners finished the course. Peneton. the winner of the second day’s cross-country event, was always at the head of affairs, and though Guanaco, who made a big improvement on his attempt of the pre-
vious afternoon, was worrying him for possession of the lead, Peneton was not to be denied, and fencing faultlessly had the event won half a mile from the deciding point. At this stage Harbour Light came from well back, and gathering in Guanaco, who seemed to be tiring at the bottom of the straight, put in his best to catch Peneton. but his efforts were futile, for though J. Roach eased up his mount after negotiating the last obstacle Harbour Light had to be satisfied with second berth. Guanaco was a poor third. The favourite never had a winning possibility, and the same can be safely said about the other contestants. Harbour Light returned a dividend of close on a score for second place. There were half a score of runners for the Hunt Club Steeplechase, Sturdee being the elect of the majority of backers, with Bill second choice, the next in demand being Pollv Anna. Bill was early in the lead, and though the favourite was at it doing his best to settle him. he had no chance, for Bowden landed Bill a good winner with a bit to spare, Sandringham being a long way back in third place. The winner is well bred, for he is by Moral (son of The Possible and Fair Nell), while his dam, Mottle, is a full-sister to Tortulla, winner of the New Zealand Cup of 1901.
There were only four runners in the Poraite Hurdles, the mass of punters selecting Zola as the way out of the difficulty. Goldstream, Ore Ore and Tatimi were next backed in the order named. Goldstream again had his race in patches, and it would appear as if he is a spent light. The favourite was in attendance upon Ore Ore for the last mile, but when he tried to reach him half-way up the running he could make no impression upon him, the son of Signor and The Brook winning handsomely, Goldstream being last. Ore Ore, who was bred by the late Mr. W. J. Douglas, and when trained by the late J. Munn on behalf of the owner of Te Mahanga Station used to bleed and was therefore quitted to his present owner at hack price, has proved a wonderfully good investment for him. The mode upon which he is trained is not orthodox, for he is mostly used by his owner as a mount to bring in the dairy herd, and has a gallop now and again. The method evidently suits Ore Ore, for he keeps on bobbing up, and of late his performances have been of the successful order, for since the beginning of April he has won at Waipukurau (the Ladies’ Handicap), a couple of hurdle events at Hastings, a third at Auckland, and now a win at the Park. Business for the afternoon culminated with the Newstead Hack Handicap. Mosthenes. who had an additional 121 b. to his weight on the opening day and a furlong further to go, was backed down to a short price, Otaura Kid being next in order in the speculative market, with Night Time third pick. The favourite never had
a look in. for the only time that he was at all discovered near the front was after the field had gone a couple of furlongs, when he was third on the outside. Walton was first out and first home, and rewarded those who were with him with a substantial two-figure dividend. On the first day Walton was one of those opposed to Mosthenes in the Settlers’ Hack, and had he been able to annex that event his supporters would have gathered in a dividend of over four hundred pounds, for there were only six ■chances taken out on his number. On Saturday there was one short of a couple of hundred tickets taken out on his prospects. Black Lake, who filled the position of runner-up to Walton, paid a good dividend for second place. Walton, who is a son of Foremost and Polycaste, has lately arrived here from Auckland, and is owned by a one-time resident of Napier, Mr. P. Herman, and is one of the pupils of J. Y. McCracken. The winning jockeys’ list at the meeting was headed by H. Robinson and W. Bowden with a brace of successes apiece, the following having each a leg up on a winner:—Mr. W. J. Morris, W. Dillimore, J. Roach, D. Cameron, M. McCarten, R. McSeveney, E. Warner. A. J. McFlinn, F. Flynn, and R. Reed. The results were: —
