The Jockey Club may well congratulate itself on the success of the seventh and final extra meeting of the season. After 10 days of intermittent showers and deluges and a very threatening dawn, the weather cleared and we were treated to a very interesting after- noon's racing. In spite of sticky going there was only one major disaster, when Just That won the Manly Handi- cap from Night Star to pay $94.70.
