WRONG ONE GOT THE AXE
I IT is seldom these days that a jockey is suspended for careless riding, || || * but at Greymouth last Saturday, Alf. Messervey got a month for || I! * at The et jot;e of the whole thing is that Messervey was not the one || ii deserving of the axe. ■ . || II He certainly caused a bit of trouble over the first half furlong, || |i but where the actual foul riding came m was down the back, when y if Hallownoon was all but knocked over. -,._, 11 li At that stage Messervey's mount, Tip Tree, was m front and conse- y ii quently well out of the trouble area. |1 jl Messervey has been unjustly treated and practically every person y \l on the course knew he was not the culprit. || | Unfortunately the stewards did not see it or they would never have || I come to the decision they did "| Pjmuhiiti i v nn "v v uuiiumiummwinii v v 5 MINMIIWUI Ml MM" >1 U In W
