FORM OF KEWPIE'S KING

■ One of the highlights of the recent meetings in Auckland has been: the displays of Kewpie's King, says .the "Star." As a three-year-old Kewpie's King showed outstanding promise, but owing to recurring soreness he had to be given a long spell. After being off. the scene for over a season he joined C. H. Goodall's stable; and to this mentor goes a lot of credit 'for: the manner in which-the son of r ßlue Mountain King has stood up*to;,-his raping1... He had'his first,start for -a,long time when he .competed in the*; Dominion Handicap on the second; :'day: of .the Auckland Summer Meeting:-.-:;!:!.: :^ : Appreciating the ''-.soft ■ going, he easily disposed of the,opposition, and shouldI.haye;again•iscpred on;'the final day,. as ■he covered more .ground than anything'in ..the-.race, ■■and;then gained second place: His,next,Routing was at Epsom : earlier in the ' and he beat his: opponents: easily.; .Considering that he is a hard'horse to keep on his feet, the efforts were-brilliant. Present intsntions; are to take 'Kewpie's King to the Hawera Meeting at Easter, and should he remain sound it will take a pretty Hood horse to bring about his defeat. Kewpie's King- is by Blue Mountain-King from Kewpie,' and is probably the best thrown by this fine brood mare, even though Kewpie's Triumph and Kewpie's Guy reached a much faster mark.
