WELLINGTON CUP RACE
WESTPORT. Jan. 14
A representative of a big picture company who had been visiting Westport and left to-day for Wellington stated that he had been trying to arrange lor a moving picture of Saturday's Wellington Cup race, which was the most highly-endowed racing event in the Dominion. The interest in the race would be heightened if Kindergarten started, was prominent in the running, and proved the eventual winner. If the picture was taken it would be screened not only through the Dominion but overseas and along the battlefronts.
This picture representative was on America’s greatest racecourse when Phar Lap, lying well back, was being proclaimed “just another horse,” but on a reminder from his rider that now was the time to prove his greatness. he went bounding past his wotdd-be conquerors to run home an easy winner. Kindergarten, with his record, could well be given an opportunity on Saturday to show whether ho was merely “just another horse,” or fit to rank with horses of the class of Phar Lap and Gloaming.
