KASPJAN OUT OF LUCK
The three-year-old Kaspian has been racing unluckily and he registered his third second in five starts this season when he just failed to overtake British Nation at the finish of the Hinuera Handicap at Matamata last Saturday. The manner in which Kaspian is racing indicates that his turn is not far away and he should be worth watching when produced again on the country circuit. Trained by J. W. Cathro at Matamata, he is a three-year-old gelding by Vaals from Light Step, by Weathervane from Dame Winkle (a half-sister to Nottava, the dam of Gesture, and to Anitea, the dam of Rapier), by Winkie from Stepka, by St. Leger, thus a member of a family that has produced many good winners, including, besides Gesture and Rapier, such horses as Pavlova, Elevation, Reputation, Devotion, Suggestion, and Stanchion.
