Passin' Through arid National

After his very fine effort at Riccarton last . Saturday Passin' Through is going to have many friends for the Grand National Steeplechase. W7ITH 12.5 on his back he ran a very meritorious third, and . at the finish of the race- he was going far better than any of the other runners. ' The fast pace set by Banui and Bed Cent had him m company with the r!est of the topweights, scratching all the way. He was made to carry his weight right from the start, and and the manner m which he did so ,is sure to appeal to many next ■ Tuesday when he will have 22lbs. less to carry. . Last' year Passin' Through was the National favorite, but. he -.did not get any- of the money. * His ability to get the three and a half miles is doubted a little; He will need all the nursing possible to have him doing it right over the last two furlongs. ' • . - Harry Burt. can be depended upon to not make any unnecessary use of the black fellow.
