MAIDEN STAKES
(BY "MORNING DEW")
The feature of the racing on Saturday was the remarkable riding success of Mr. V. V. Needa who brought home four winners, a second and a third. Otherwise honours were fairly

W
In the grifin races, training performances failed to prove a reliable guide and two very ↑ prominent Derby candidates, Pacific Hall and Mistake Bay, were both beaten..
Mr. Eu Tong Sen's colours were first past the post in The Maiden Stakes and the Hopeful Stakes. In the secons section of the Sydney Maidens, Rose Ann won a remarkable race for the Straits millionaire.
Double Chance, the much fancled candidate for the Valleys, failed to find a place, Mr. Needa winning the event on Lucky Strike.
Derby The record for the Australian six furlongs was equalled on Saturday by Derby Day who won the Arst section of the Sydney Maidens.
The best finish of the day was in the last race, Trentbridge and Diana Bay figuring in a dead heat after a gruelling race up the home straight.
IN FIRST RACE

The racing opened with exhibition of riding and putting all -dividend of $344.80 accompanied by he knew into the business, he was handsome place dividends when up with the leaders a hundred Mr. Neugebauer of Canton rode yards from home, and, carrying Strathaird to victory in the Wong straight on, won by three lerigths! Nel Chong Stakes, first, section. It was a remarkable victory. The Gold Picker, who was nominated | Bean Goose got the better of Shoot to win this race preferred to trying Star. his luck in the Valleys later in the day: where he was unplaced. High Principle finished second and Strathnair, a stable companion of
the
winner alled third place. Nebular Star and Emergency Call were well backed, but were never
in the picture.
"
SECOND SECTION
In the second section, the start was such that s ponies were left standing when the gate went up." Matinee Idol, and Belmont Star were fairly well away, but another well packed pony, Tin Ho, was never
the picture after being left. Belmont Star produced & much better finish and won by a length and a half from Needa's mount.
Mr. Deltz on What About That got into third place.
* THE MAIDEN STAKES
There was considerable difficulty in getting the field to line up at the gate in the Maldens. Pin on Clear View got well away as the tate shot up and, pushing his pony in the early stages of the race, get a long lead with Tammany Hall the only other pony well up."
Clear View led right into the home straight, when neither whip nor, spur could induce the pony to run any more and he faded rapidly out of the picture. Meanwhile, Mr. Botelho on Ythan, crept up on the leaders followed by Pacific Hall. who had been held for the big effort in the straight, and Rosseau. High Honour, too, left the stragglers and was making a big effort to catch up on the leaders.
FOOCHOW CUP
There were five starters in the Foochow Cup. The field allowed Liberty Bay to run by himself, which the latter did, winning in 3.01:1. King's Justice accounted for New Star by two lengths, with Ribble fourth and Soldier of China fifth. King's Justice hung to- gether with the others until three furlongs from home, when Mr. Marshall sent him up and he went ahead of the others. New Star and Ribble made a good race of it for third, but Ribble did not appear to run quite as well as he did when he finished second in the St. Leger.

Mackie and Grayburn's
Ythan, 158 lbs. in a finishing half mile in 1.01.1, the grey won the race by a head. Both King's Warden and Backo must have registered something like 57 for the last half mile, but in spite of that they were not able to catch up, the early lead being too much. for them. Both finished beautifully.
The Tiger ran very well through-" out this race and finished fourth.
THE HOPEFUL STAKES Rose Queen proved herself a very reliable runner when she won the Hopeful Stakes in convincing man- ner from Soldier of Victory. Needa held his mount well in until the straight, when he asked her for an effort and she responded at once,
Double Chance was lying sixteenth to give him a victory of two lengths.
Soldier of Victory and.. Royal Romance filled the other places. both being prominent throughout. Victoria Hall disappointed as the pony did not seem to move well on the hard course.
THE LAST THRILL
The day's sport was wound up
when the gate went up and he be- gan to pick his way through so successfully that, at the head of the straight, he was fourth, but the earlier effort seemed to have been too much for the pony and he did not show any more inclination to contest the issue in the home straight although Ho tried again with a thrilling finish in the New and again to make him move.

DERBY DAY Derby Day ridden by Mr. H. C. Fib, got a good start in the Sydney Maidens and that made all the dif- ference for her in the race. She was hotly pursued by Got That, but the latter could not make up for the two lengths he had to concede at the start, and finished three- quarters of a length behind Derby Day who returned 1.19.3 (equals record). Southern Cross who was not so fast off the gate as the others picked his way through the Beld and finished third, two lengths behind Got That, Mount Pilatus was running strongly at the end.

He caught the leader just after passing the Rock, but he was not alone, for Marshall on King's Jubilee had been within a couple of lengths of Mistake Bay all this time and now began to draw up.
