GORE CLUB

WAIT-A-BIT WINS HANDICAP

(New Zealand Press Association) GORE, October 24. Heavy rain which started shortly before the first race marred the first day of the Gore Racing Club’s spring meeting yesterday, and considerably reduced the betting. Hundreds of spectators left the course early in the afternoon, and by the time the last race was run there were very few present. The totalisator handled £26,520, compared with £42,832 10s on the first day last year. The Wait a Bit-Red Admiral combination returned a doubles dividend' of £43 16s for £l.
