Dividends were on the small side, the biggest return for the day being the $81.10 for a place by King's Bounty (Mr. W. H. S. Davis) in the last race of the day. In this connection. It is worthy of record that the "Daily Press racing correspondent rave eight winners in alne races, including the Daily Double, and any punter who started with a modest $5 would have been $37.40 to the good, had he followed our tips. In addition we also gave nine place ponies.

Mr. J. F. Macgregor's Strathroy set up a new 1 miles record, covering the distance in 210.3 to beat its own record of 2.10.4 set up, last December. Mr. L. G.

THE GRIFFINS SPRING HANDICAP

The favourite in this race, King's Coronation (Mr. F. Marshall), ful- filled expectations when it came first in The Griffins Spring Handi- cap, thus giving Mr. Marshall his ninth win of the meeting. Rob Roy (Mr-E, C. Leighton) was sec- ord and Centre Forward (Mr. D.

s. Li) third.

The race was on the slow side and while King's Coronation and Rob Roy were in with the leaders right from the time the barrier went up, Mr. Li did not give, nis pony his head till the Village Bend when it moved up from the seventh position to the third place..

From the time field entered the home stretch the race developed into a keen struggle for the lead and the favourite, by reason of a stronger last minute run, had the better of its race with Rob. Roy. Centre Forward, for a few seconds, looked as though it might over- take Rob Roy but the latter held out by just a length.
