VAIN LAD IS SOLID
Although. Vain Lad had been suffering from the effects of soreness in his latest work, he had evidently got through a lot of good trials, as he paraded in excellent order for his engagement in the Introductory Handicap at 'Epsom on Saturday, says an Auckland writer. He was fairly well backed, but at better odds than is usually associated with entrants from F. J. Smith's stable. At the start he went away smartly and took up the running. He held sway- for the rest of the journey, and it was early apparent that he would win.
A feature of the gelding's performance was the solid manner in which he did his work, and he never looked like making a break. As it was Vain Lad's first start in a race he can be expected to derive a good deal of benefit from the experience, and he should pay his way this, season, provided he stands a preparation, as he is troubled with soreness.
