VOITRE'S HORSEMANSHIP
In view of K. Voitre's marked success in Melbourne, the question naturally arises whether he is an exceptional horseman, or are the Melbourne riders, as a whole, an indifferent lot, writes a Sydney critic. Recognised as a good rider, the New Zealand critics did not credit him with remarkable ability. At different times a visit to Australia improved some New Zealand riders, but this trip Voitre was a success from the- com* mencement. On what was seen of him, at Randwick in the autumn, he not only rides well through a race but also at the finish, and it is not all iockeys who shine in both respects. . It is probable that some New Zealanders would say: "We have better riders than Voitre," but, when they come to Australia, those jockeys will have difficulty in proving the correctness of that opinion. It is easy to praise success in anything, but it is undeniable that Voitre deserves a lot of the fine things said and written of him.
