EREOR IN WEIGHTS
SLIP BY HANDICAPPER
(From "Vedette.") SYDNEY, July 10. It is seldom that hahdlcappers' err on the side of leniency, but last week's Sydney racing saw a horse let in a race considerably below what would be a'coriect assessment. • It was the handicapping of Regular Bachelor, a Queensland twotyear-old, at I Gib over the minimum in a race at Canter-' bury Park th.it upset the equilibrium of, racegoers. This colt was a good perpeifoimer in Brisbane and had won the Queensland Sires' Produce Stakes at his last start. Even allowing that Queensland form is 'inferior to that in Sydney, the colt was very much under-estimated, and wholesale.; scratchings revealed the opinion of owners of the opposition. ' Always at odds-on, Regular Bachelor won, but he just scrambled homo after his over-confident rider had permitted him to slow up to a walk. Pavarti finished like a flash but just failed. > The handicapper. Mr. J. Tanner, adnutted his eiror but said that ho had confused Regular Bachelor with another horse. Strangely enough the identity of the colt did not leak out until Saturday morning, despite the keenness of the intelligence departments—the myriad tipping sheets and tipping organisations in Sydney. . . ■ . .. ■■.■■;■■ : .■■..■!
