INDIGNANT OWNER

TO APPEAL AGAINST DISQUALIFICATION.

(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") N AUCKLAND, This Day . )Y he?.seen after the decision of th« Air, Wells, m whose colours' Weddine tfo^e r ,b^ a^-^o^;:: said. "I am astounded. I don't knoW ' whether they think Memsahib a £od ' horse, but I have had. him ever iincf he was a foal, and I raced'him as a two-ye«r- ---* also as a three, four, and-five yearold, and he has never won a race in his Me, and only once daring the whole of tha seasons he has raced has he ever got into - the money. Then he carried £10 fir be**."., third or second, I really forget which. I - have taken him all over the country, and ■■- down to Feildmg, in the hope of picking.up a stake, but he was never good enough i? ifhi ? i sllowi °S. and yet fawSy.V : it is held he did not try to win. I am' not going to try to make out that Reid • rode a good race to-day. As a matter of-" fact, I think he .kept the horse too far.:,., back, but it was partly my fault that he " did. Memsahib lias never started ma" steeplechase before, and Reid had never. riadeu m one, fo that you could ndt.bava unbounded confidence in the combination," ' especially as the horse had not TO 'i race m his career. My instructions to Reid were not to bustle him, to try and"'. keep with the leaders from the start, In* ~ to wait till he pot to the hill the last time, and then ride him if the home could'" respond. I certainly iatend to appeal i against the decision." •
