There can be no gainsaying the fact that Saturday's racing wag the best we have had this year. The tunes were distinctly on the fast side, while there was a sufficient sprinkling of out- siders among the successful candidates to make the sport in- teresting

Mr. E. O. Butler started the ball rolling by bringing home aßobnjak Star in "the third race to pay his supporters over $70 or a win. Incidentally he upset all calculations for the “Dally Doubles," which later in the afternoon paid $463. RE

Mr. G. A. Harriman scored the most meritorious win of the afternoon when he won with Prima Donna in the principal race of the day. The finish was a particularly “exciting one. Later in the afternoon Mr. Harriman brought in, The Boders in an- other exeltingtfinish.

Mr. D. Black won the second leg of the Doables on In Good Time, while another feature of the day's racing were the fast times returned. The Australian scord for sta^ formngs was lowered by one second,

ANOTHER FAST RACE Turning out in fine fettle Electric Star ridden by Mr. Butler won the fifth race over a mile from King's Bounty in the excellent time of 2.00.4. Gladiator finished third and Mayflower (second favourite) Iourth.

Gladiator led over the first three quarters of a mile, followed by King's Bounty and The Tiger. There was not much change of position as the field turned into the straight. Both Electric Star and King's Bounty passed him and Anished in that order. Gladiator was third. The rest of the fleld was well strung out. -

IN GOOD TIME

The novices event gave Black the win that he needed to take him cut of the ranks of the beginners. He rode a good race. No getting the best of the start he was con- tant to steady his mount before making a big effort and came through to win easily from Surabande. The Carp had, a bad start again. but in spite of that be managed to scramble, into third place.

Don was out- classed while Bag and Baggage was nothing like his old self.

This race shows conclusively that Soldier of Britain's poor showing in the Derby was, due in no smail measure to the muddy state of the course at the Annual Race
