Quick Recovery By Halwes
"The Press*’ Special Service AUCKLAND. Halwes would have been able to start if the Grand Final of the pacing section of the InterDominion Championships had been run last night. This was stated yesterday by the horse’s trainer, J. A. Wesley. "He is all right again," Wesley said. "I would say there is almost a 100 per cent possibility of his contesting the Miracle Mile at Harold Park (Sydney) on March 8.” Halwes was a late scratching from the final of the championships on Saturday. An old crack In his off fore heel had opened up and become infected. Wesley said he had worked the horse about two miles yesterday and that Halwes had shown no signs of discomfort. That the trouble has not proved serious confirms the opinion of one- of the veterinary surgeons who attended Halwes on Saturday night. Halwes will return to Australia by air this morning.
