Lew Foy followed up some rather unlucky racing with an impressive win in the Neale and Haddow Handicap at Richmond Park yesterday. He lost a big stretch of ground at the start, looped the field from the 800 m when tracked by Urbane, and led early in the run home.

He gave none of the others any chance arid won decisively from Wara Dillon and Urbane.

Raced and trained at Kaikoura by Snow Dalzell, Lew Foy is a three-year-old gelding by the Meadow Skipper horse, Lonero, from Dorena.

The service to Lonero was part of the prize at-

tached to a race at Cambridge won by Dalzell’s smart mare, Game Girl. He intends racing Lew Foy at Blenheim; later he might compete at Addington. “He’s always shown tons of speed but get unbalanced at times. He is getting better, though,” Dalzell said. Kathy Glass, as expected, made her rivals look second rate in the Tasman Liquor Mart Handicap. Noel Berkett had her handily placed throughout and she won with something in hand from the backmarker, Ready Money, and Roman Guy, which did well to return a dividend.

Kathy Glass is raced by Mrs Dawn Berkett. She had not won since being successful in the same race 12 months earlier.

Star Spangled, which is

nearing the end of her race career, hit the front early in the run home in the Enterprise Print Handicap and held on to beat Cindy Ann by half a length. Star Spangled is currently held on lease by her trainer, Ivan Schwamm, from Dick Petrie, of Rangiora. She is in foal to Smooth Fella and will race for another few months before being put aside.

Quick View was having only her third race start when she came from far back to wear down Anzac Parade and beat him by a neck in the Bryan Register Handicap. The sister to In to View is owned and trained at Methven by Tom Harrison, who should not find her hard to place to advantage in the autumn.
