THE easy way in which Traverse won both events for pacers at the recent meeting held by the Ashburton Racing Club made it plain that he has the ability to win his way to good class. In the Selma Handicap he started well, and with a mile covered was in the lead. From there on, he drew right away from his opponents, winning by a dozen lengths from Water Ranger. , In the Rakaia Handicap he took the lead before a furlong had been covered and never looked like being caught, finally winning by six lengths from Lucky Loyal.
