A Hood in blinkers
. No horse is allowed to race in a hood in New Zealand, but blinkers, often confused with hoods, are fairly widely used. The only hood likely to be seen at the Canterbury Jockey Club's Christmas meeting at Riccarton on Saturday is the three-year-old of that name. And he will race in blinkers in the Oxford High-weight. Hood is a fairly recent addition to the Riccarton team of Ron McCann and is e stablemate and half-sister of Gay Panner, which will also run in the high-weight. Pars Match, the dam of Gay Partner and Hood, was bought out of the 1964 national sales at Trentham by Mr F. J. Donnelly, of Onakau. She is by Comte de Grasse from News by Paper Boy and is from the same family as Golden Galleon, winner of 14 races including a Wellington Cup, and Avenge, the top-ranking two-year-old of his rear.
