Passionate's Win

Wasn't Greatly Fancied

Jack Anderton did not think that Passionate was a good thing for the Jellicoe Handicap at Pakuranga. Jack was under the impression, that the chestnut gelding- would do better had he been contesting an event run on a left-handed course. . Passionate was tailing 'the field for the greater part of the journey and showed -a great burst of speed over the last, three furlongs, to win convincingly. The way this horse finished, m the Jellicoe Handicap makes many wonder how he came to be defeated m the Parliamentary Handicap at Trentham. "Skipper" Ryan won the same event last season . on Musketoon, and on that occasion the winner came from the rear of the field over the last half-mile. immiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiuiiiimitill
