DONCASTER HANDICAP DIVERGENT OPINIONS SYDNEY, April 18 Commenting on the Doncaster Han- 3 dicap, the Sydney Morning Herald * says: "The finish will provide a topic for argument for some time. Some per- t sons, backed by the opinions of officials, thought Hamurah would have won | convincingly except for interference by j King's Head, and others declared if King's Head had run truly, Hamurah J could not have caught him. Buzalong I was one of the unlucky horses of the \ race. He did not get a clear run Until j lie turned into the straight, yet about I 150 yards from the post looked a pos- | sible winner. Troy finished very fast to j reach fourth. Troy was in much trouble I early in the race and was not really j balanced until he entered the straight seventh."
