KINDHEART SHOWS CLASS

Kindheart and Tosh were evenly backed and a long way in advance of anything else in the betting on the Champion Hack Handicap, and they more or less outclassed the rest. The pair had charge at the end of a furlong, with. Kindheart on the inner, and from the head of the straight Kindheart was always doing it a shade better than Tosh. Just near the end Tosh gave up the fight and Kindheart went on to score by over a length. Kindheart failed in his two earlier appearances this season, but at woodville he did not start till the rest of the field were well under way. Actually he has had only five races in all to date during his career and he has won two of them. A three-year-old bay colt by the Son-in-Law horse Philamor from the Limond— Sweet Charity mare Clemency, a halfsister to Knightlike and Netley, he_has reintroduced on the Dominion Turf the formerly very successful patrontrainer association of Mr. A. B. Williams (owner of Rapine, Star Stranger, etc.) and J. H. Jefferd. Tosh, a four-year-old Commandant gelding, lived up to his good Auckland reputation, and he was a shade unlucky today in running up against a potential class horse such as Kindheart is. He should win races before he returns north. He goes to Wairarapa for the New Year. Calshot, going-an improved race, was running on a handy third after being seventh to the straight. Rotorna was fourth practically throughout and did well for a comparative novice. Finnesko also went satisfactorily in fifth place all the way, but the class was just too good. Cricket was finishing on next, but Black Thread fell back from third at the straight to seventh. Dawning Light was prominent till she ran off the • course entering the straight.
