NO REVEL

Weight Beat Him

Weight beats them all and it beat Revel m the Hunters' Hurdles at Riccarton on Tuesday. A FTER his two successes at the Hunt , meeting it was thought that Revel' would win. .Tuesday's race, but still he was not the .favorite. Early m the proceedings he was lying third, but going past the six fyrlongs, he rah; ! up to the leaders. Rangi Sarto took the lead; on the turn and he.. came to the last fence ■With a bit to; spare, but he made a blunder and Revel headed him off. Revel was m front 'so yards frpm ;? home,, but his big weight ; v then got ! to him. and. he went down :°Ver the last, few strides. - • • gince he was qualified and put to hurdling, Reyel has been a paying proposition for his Dannevirke owner. He has not a great deal of size, to lump big loads of lead, but what there is of him is,, of the right stuff.
