From Our Own Correspondent APIA, April 9.
WHEN the racing season of 1951 opened at Apia Park, on Easter Monday (March 26), the weather conditions were favourable, and a good sized crowd watched the eight events of the day. The day offered good sport to racing fans with exciting finishes in some of the main races of the day. The main event, the Palmer Memorial Handicap, was won by Mr. R. H. Carruthers’ Gold Gem, with King Midas second; the last event, the Faamavae Sprint was won by King Midas.
The Apia Turf Club’s next race meeting will be the King’s Birthday Race Meet ing which is to be held on June 2.
