The Canning Park Race Club will run a six event programme this Saturday at Goodwood Race Course. Big Gelds are entered in every event and the meeting promises racing of high class that will thrill true sportsmen. A mare is expected to soon collect a winner's cheque.
Last week's Brennan Park meeting raised funds for charity and surprisingly benefited bookmakers, though winnings were modest. The report notes a series of race results with dead heats and mile rates, plus Adonaldson’s brother's season tally of 27 starts: 4 wins, 3 seconds, 4 thirds, 4 fourths, and 12 unplaced.
Dal Cais unplaced at Maplands with unclear result. Dur Daycrest stable, longtime top place getter. Fast and Furious shows mixed finishes 2 4 1 2 3 in recent runs. Wealth posting 2 4 2 2 across last four outings. Chilly Boy dominates with five wins and a second in six recent runs.
Four winners are six years old and two are four, including Dal Cais and Royal Dur. Port-trained horses claim three firsts three seconds and two thirds in a strong day. Garvary debuts over hurdles and Comprador wins the Belmont Plate while Ring enjoys a win, and a commission forms around Goletfields.
Curara, brother of Ductile, once showed promise but failed to rise. At Belmont Park on the 13th he finished well in a 71-furlong race won by My Crest. Trainer Vie Egen advised the owner to enter a 10-furlongs Purse next, and the owner agreed to have a try.
Wealth raced with three different riders in his last four starts, causing the Silver Lad gelding to wear multiple jockey silks. J Maskiell H Whitbread J Maskiell and G Bell shared duties, leaving the horse with a sameness of riders and no consistent pilot.
Betting barometer showed only three of 18 runners backed with Chilly Boy at 5 to 2, Forglen at 32, and Noogee at 6 to 1. Chilly Boy led early but finished first, Forglen hung and closed a half length back, while Noogee followed.
Royal Durbar overcame the favourite Wealth in the Belmont Park June Handicap on Saturday. East and Ergotic followed, with Ergotic taking third as Royal Durbar claimed a third consecutive victory in a weak field, signaling potential for further success.
The gelding began at 7 to 1 and won the Trial Stakes in convincing fashion from Koeeni and Rosebarn. Judging by the performance the winner should remain a payable proposition on the flat for a while before turning to hurdles, with Jess respectably finishing fourth.
Money flowed to several Belmont State candidates but the St. Anton gelding Compra dor, new to the State, still claimed a sorrowful victory over Threcania, Gay Silver and seven others. J. J. O'Hara shows clear improvement from South Australia and warrants watching. Cerimon and Chrysophris were best of the rest. Sawana again failed, Smokebush ran first time in a while but was badly outpaced. The grey and Arcoff look promising and should rise quickly.
Canming Acceptances won the two mile hurdle with Baverpix 11 11 and Bizet Dal Cais 113 following. Annoyance Prince Alfred 104 and Billaranga Mount Fawn 101 also featured as Garvary Highlands placed, in a tight finish.

After urging by backed supporters, the sister to Moon Brae wins the Merredin Handicap by seven yards over Colin Mac with Gay Bob and Welcome's Double close behind. Little money changed hands at the track though several S.P. merchants were hit by a stable commission.
Alick McLean piloted Lachlan Black Jed to victory in the Nungarin Handicap from start to finish. The aged Ribbonite progeny was cleared from 3s to 6 to 4, aiming to shave a second from a 221 Saturday time. Joan Alto surged to second while Don Minto claimed third as Minton Bells faded late.
Thomas's gelding surged from the back mark of 30 yards to win over Amma Bells Woodmut's Choice and Dunn's Plains. Dunn's Plains was badly blocked on the home turn. Harrietty was backed but pulled up after colliding with Golden Maid's spider.
