SORRY FIGURE

Frisco Jack Boom Is Burst The Frisco Jack bubble has burst — or, at least, it should be after his running at Wanganui. T AST September the hunter was pro--duced ut Dannevlrke, and" he won easily. . . Then, In succession, he was vlo« torio'us at Awapuni and at Te Rapa twice. He ended up his season by toppling i over m the Hunt Cup at Waikato on Labor Day. This year he changed stables, going from Harold Doyle to Alf. Wright, and much was expected of him. Taken to Hawera. he was well m front In the big steeplechase, only to get into the post and rails — and turn a decent flip. . ■ Wanganui saw him last week, but this time he did not turn a flip, nor did he finish the course. ' In the early stages his rider tried to restrain him, but m doing so -he failed to make the gelding go any better. The journey was . not half over when Frisco Jack cried enough— and the further they went the further baok went "Jack." He was distanced over the last round and Harry McSweeney pulled him up. Put back to hunting events may make a difference — that'll be seen later. READY FOR IT MO JSUerslta candidate for the Corn1 ' wall is doing better on the traok than Coririax.
