(Prom "N.Z. Truth's" Christchurch _■'.'■ .•:■■•■■ Rep.) v Like magic, the racing game is often a business of "Now you've . got them; now you: haven't."

Then when Magna - Gharta, made such an' auspicious debut at 'Dunedin the trio looked good for anything . m the jumping line. Now the team is reduced to the novice.

It's an uncertain game all right.
