Gold Cup Meeting

The Poverty Bay Turf Club's Summer Meeting was highlighted on the second day by the fifth race, for the Leopard Gold Cup.

Donated by the Leopard Brewery, Hastings, the cup was won in impressive fashion by Messrs G. T. Fitzgerald's and D. A. Herbert's Bientot, a four-year-old brown mare by Faux Tirage from Flit.

Bientot finishes a head in front of the favourite Sir Barton with three-quarters of a length to Prince Mahmoud. Calm Comet is a head away, fourth.

B. L. Cullen brings the winner back into the birdcage after the race.

The handsome gold cup.

Part owner D. A. Herbert receives the cup and congratulations from Leopard representative J. McFarlane.
