NO ILL-EFFECTS. With the exception of slight abrasions to the face, the apprentice jockey G. Gilchrist suffered no ill-effects when his mount, Hessketoon, fell in the Netherton Hack Handicap at the recent Ohinemuri meeting. Gilchrist has resumed riding work. PROMISING ’ GELDING. The Ace gelding Royal Fawkes displayed some of his track form by running second to Star Vaal in the Waihi Handicap at Paeroa last week, and on that performance will not be neglected by backers at Tauranga this weekend. G. Henderson has taken a lot of trouble to develop this gelding, and it looks as if he will soon be rewarded.
