Truth's" Auckland Rep.) It took Welkne a long time to win a race for Ben. Goldwater, and when he did win he was slogged to victory. WELKNJB is a cast-off from the W. G Stead stable and he let his supporters down so often that they tired of him. Over the last furlong of his race on the final day at Ellerslie, Eric iLudlow flogged him with the* flail- to some pur-

pose and those tactics evidently had some effect. : Wolkno is big enough to carry a house, and may do. well m the hurdle class if he takes to the jumping game. He had be c n reeling off fast gallops at Ellerslie for some time past without reproducing the speed when the chips were m. When he did

come home there were no big winners reported. That is the. -way of this racing game. Trainer John Thorpe was just beginning to class the son of The Welkin as a rank thief, but since his win he is filling himself up with fresh hopes. . ' We take it the slogger will be used again with some vigor next time Welkne steps out with the colors up.
