According to the "Cape Times," The Haka should have won his event, a mile ami a half .handicap, outright /instead of dead-heating with Yorkshire Lass, an; English-bred six-year-old mare who was in receipt of lllb. Lying some way out of his ground as tliey neared the straight, The Haka shot up into second place and in the next half-furlong,he was. in front.
