Heavy Going At Wingatui
"The Press" Special Service DUNEDIN.
Captain’s Command, which is unable to handle heavy going is a doubtful starter in the G. J. Barton Memorial, the second leg of the T.A.B. double at the Otago Hunt Club’s meeting at Wingatui today. Captain’s Command was one of the top two-year-qlds in the South Island last season and is due to make a fresh start.
His trainer, A, I. Powell, said: “The colt needs the race badly, but we have to be fair to the club and the T.A.B. There will be a lot of money for Captain’s Command and if he is scratched on the morning of the races the money invested off-course will go on his bracketed mate Friar’s Birthday.” The track at Wingatui was in splendid order and drying out rapidly on Thursday, but steady rain since early yesterday morning will make the going heavy.
