OSuilivau was extermeiy lucky to win and his victory was in the main due to Jockey Carrolls action in permitting No Ill to slip through next to the inner rail. Martin made amends lor his lasro on Dark Flower by winning with Huntress in the Ifth race, and followed it up With a victory on Guide Post in the closing dash. H was fortunate that the latter was much tin- best, for she was forced hack sharply al the start and had to close a tremendous gap. Another win ie winning chances were destroyed was Martinos in the sec aid race. The stewards, a tier the race, had Byrne on the carpet for his ride and he wis given a curiam lecture after the succeeding race, in which he rode Briekley.
