Sobeit amiss
(“The Press” Special Service) WELLINGTON. The good mare, Sobeit, i an unlucky third in the Wellington Handicap last Saturday, is unlikely to race again for two or three months. Sobeit pulled up sore in the near foreleg on Saturday. Her tranier. Bill Sanders, said at Trentham on Monday that she had wrenched the pasterm An X-ray had shown that no bones were broken, but he expected it would be from two to three months before she raced again. The injury has upset what was already a substitute programme for the Sobig mare. It was planned originally to campaign her in Melbourne this spring, but when 'wet tracks held up her preparation that trip was abandoned. Instead she has been preparing for the New Zealand Cup early next month, and (since the tracks firmed her: ■'form has improved. She won (well at Wanganui last week : and with better luck could (have won again at Tren(tham. So set was Sanders on j winning the New Zealand (Cup with Sobeit — he conj siders her a true two-miler 1 — that he had already : engaged , Brent Thomson for (the race. i Now however, if the esti(mate proves correct, there ( I may even be doubt that So-: beit wilj be ready for a thorlough staving test until the : autumn. Three months from this week takes in the Wellington Cup meeting.
