| Race 2 | MANUKAU DASH - C1 - 375 | Dr Ricardi was the early leader before Go Tyler Go took over and held until just short of the line where Dr Ricardi surged through on the track inner and took a close decision. Robust Rock was squeezed for room at the jump and on moving outwards was galloped on from behind by Sue Van Gill. Robust Rock stayed wide from that point. Ollymacron also went wide during the running. At the close of the race Dr Ricardi was observed to have turned towards an outer dog and was later subject of a suspension for failing to pursue the lure. No 5 Dr Ricardi (D Van Meeuwen). Suspended until 09.03.04. |

| Race 4 | 1ST MAIDEN SPRINT - C0 - 375 | Run Jimmy Run was slow to jump - moving up with the lid of his box. Black Tyler, after dwelling slightly at the start was shouldered by Run Jimmy Run before taking and holding the lead until Real Silence, having moved around the field, challenged strongly down the straight and took a close decision in the last strides. No 6 Sort Of Blue (BL Hood). Under stand down from injury sustained in heat at non tote meeting at Palmerston North on 7.02.04. |
| Race 5 | WELLINGTON STAKES - C1 - 457 | Lowen Behold, from box 4, was squeezed for running room by the dogs which jumped from adjacent boxes, rearing up somewhat and remaining at the rear throughout. Rawhiti Rogue crossed sharply from box 6 and the field tightened up considerably at the first bend - Slender Maree ran clear and held well. Bozo Fulton was checked in the early running. . |
| Race 6 | 2ND MAIDEN SPRINT - C0 - 375 | Seven starters after late scratching of Son Of Sarabi. The favourite Wee Silver Hawk conceded ground by starting slowly and was not able to gather in the early pacemaker, Mana Watt, as they ran to the line. LATE SCRATCHING - No 8 Son Of Salabi (G Frost). Rule 259 - tracheal infection. Stand down 3 days to 12.02.04. Dog presented. VC held. |
| Race 7 | DUNEDIN DASH - C1 - 375 | Cardinai Kev showed early speed but then began to drift and ended up towards the rear, with no marked improvement from there.

Under stand down from Waikato & District meeting on 5.02.04. |
| Race 8 | DINSDALE DASH - C2 - 375 | Kiwi Fire and Opening Time were in bother at the rear after shoulder to shoulder contact following the jump - Opening Time's back legs skewed sideways and Kiwi Fire was impeded in his path. Both dogs never made any improvement from the rear. Tap To It cleared away from the field to win by a margin in excess of eleven lengths and set a new track record for the sprint distance. |
| Race 9 | ADDINGTON STAKES - C1 - 457 | Just The Don was slow to start, conceding ground and never really being in contention. The favourite Muslie Man proved too strong in the straight when running down the pacemaker, No Invitation. No 4 Someone (NP Green). Rule 259. Stand down 10 days to 15.02.04. VC issued. |

| Race 12 | SOLWAY SPRINT - C2/3 - 375 | Nigella Bale, a favoured runner, was quickly to the front on the rail but mid bend started to feel the pressure and moved wide - was buffeted by other dogs, in particular Shar Nazir, and did not improve - drifting back to the rear. |
| Race 13 | HAMILTON DISTANCE - C1d - 630 | The favourite Egyptian Gold missed the jump slightly but when the field bunched tightly at the first bend was able to move forward in pursuit of the early pacemaker, Tokenism - the two putting a wide margin on the rest of the field. In the run down the straight to the line Egyptian Gold took the track inner and prevailed at the finish. |
