SPELL OF BAD LUCK GIVEN KNOCK-OUT
The brilliant victory of the ex-hack Treasurer in the Winter Cup broke a run of "outs" in that race for the Riccarton trainer H. Nurse. In 1933 Mount Boa, a rank outsider, just got up or, the winning post to defeat Nurse's representative, Polydora, a half-sister to Sweet Beauty, dam of Treasurer. Two years later Knockfin, also trained by Nurse, finished second to the South Canterbury gelding Epris, who, by the wav, was ridden by E. A. Leckie, Slayer's pilot in the Great Northern Steeples.
