ROY REED'S DOUBLE

CONFIDENCE OF TRAINERS

(From "Vedette.") SYDNEY, October 17. Although R. Reed has won the biggest races in Australia, there are still plenty, of critics here of hie riding ability, and they, still will not have him as a firstclass jockey. This does not unduly disturb him, .nor does it extend to the prac-tical-racing people. Chatham's trainei', F., Williams, is fullyaware of Reed's ability, arid' the New Zealander has done all Williame'a lightweight riding this spring, winning on Milantheon and twice on Vista, heavilybacked horses on each occasion. At the City Tatt's Meeting at Randwick on Saturday he won another race for the stable on Soy, a two-year-old by Heroic from Golden Curio. It was a desperate finish, and Reed's mount won in the last stride. Reed was eeen to even greater advantage in a big novice handicap field when he won on the Gothic three-year-old Gothlin. He saved every inch of ground, riding one of hia rails races, and driving the colt through at the finish to win well. Gothlin is trained by another keen student of racing in J. King, like F. Williams a good rider in his day. Their selection of Reed is a'feather in his cap and against the grandstand critics. ■ |
