Big fields at Wellington race meeting on Saturday
A crowd of about 900 attended the Wellington Race Club Showground meeting on Saturday. The large acceptances split the Tmplayers Handicap into two divisions and 54 horses ran, an average field of nine. Dewrene, owned by E. and F. J. Ray, won the main event as favourites performed largely but two races saw favourites defeated by steady performers. The day included a fall involving jockey Garth Baird, who was winded but recovered. Enclosures and track were in fine condition despite rain earlier in the week.
