SYNTAX’S CAMPAIGN IN AUSTRALIA

HOCK INJURY MAY DELAY DEPARTURE

The champion three-year-old Syntax was taken to Te Rapa on Thursday morning for pace work. He injured his near hock when spelling in his paddock 10 days ago, and although he was very sore and the joint was badly swollen, he has made a good recovery. He was only slightly tender after finishing his work on Thursday. T e injury puts the future of Syntax in doubt, according to his owner-trainer, Mr S. H. Walker. The horse may not travel to Australia until the middle of August. He was to have left on July 20. His engagements in Australia will depend on the progress he makes.
