I GREAT DELIGHT HAS PROMISE

■ . (Frota "N.Z. Truth V North Island Representative). I When Great Delight piloted them home m the Wanganui Cup I he completed the hat trick on the Taranaki circuit.

IURIOR ; to v this - event he /scored .at k Hawera : ony Easter Monday : ahd lifted the Taranaki Cup five days later at New Plymouth. /In the, big heat at the River City Thursday ,last he left them stsyidwhen it came to real racing. He was ;vyeH back for the greater part of, a mile, and a-half, and H. Garnett showed judgrrient -m leaving his run till the; last quarter-mile. ' Great Delight moved up gradually approaching the;, bend, but when given a reminder literally flew. . • Half-way cjpwn the running Haerenga Par looked a winner, with Logan's Pride, and . Native

Hero at dne another's throats for the minor money. Wide out from the rails,- Great Delight put m his dash, and he carried on to receive the decision by a length. Mrs. .Beatty has a good one m the son of Kea Dillon, for the aged gelding is improving with experience. His task, on Saturday was too solid, but he made a creditable showing. Little Haerenga Pal did fairly well to get second, and Logan's Pride was m the front all the way. The big disappointments were Regime and Hostess, while Schoolmate was never conspicuous m the running. Native Hero was m the front for over a mile and a-half, stopping over the last furlong. He came out on Saturday full of . pep and stepped home a winner m 4.42/ That effort suggests that when the class is not too severe henceforth he will have to be reckoned with. miiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiuiiiii!
