Silly Prejudice

Owner and a Course

Horses at times fail to do their best on certain courses, for a multitude ' of reasons, and wise owners, knowing that their horses will not do their best on such-and-such a course, give the meeting the- goby. - In , doing so they are looking after their, own interests', and incidentally those oC the punters. - • Last week, however, "Truth" henvd an owner state that he would not race at Wanganui m the spring, and possibly never again. In answer to why such prejudice against the Wanganui course he replied Avith the most childish of answers. « . It appears that a horse of his was injured rather badly during the running of a race at Wanganui a year ago, and for that reason alone he would, not patronise .the club again. For pure cussedness that takes some beating!
