Park last week. = | Harry Green's charge, Bally- 1 | farnon had just come back to | | the birdcage after winning § | the Napier Steeplechase. § | Whilst Ciarrie Stratton was | = unsaddling Ballyfarnon, | | which had not had a severe I •= .' race, and was apparently | | feeling a little fresh, started | 1 to kick. | | He lifted up a hind hoof and | | let drive with a bit of power. 1 | It landed,, but not on any- | | body hanging round him/ but = ;= on * himself. The kick was | | severe and m a few seconds § | blood was pouring from the § f wound. ' .v. = 1 . .- It is just possible that the 1 | injury would be severe, but it . | | is hoped for Green's sake that I = he will be able to have the f 1. .services of the gelding m the f 1 ' big steeplechase at Hastings = | on Ffriday. | , fmjiiiiimimiimmuiiiimiimiiiiimiiimiiniiiiimnuiimuiuiiim'iiii'uiiiiil;
