My Owns Morning Gallop

NEA LAP'S LUCK

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Hawkes Bay Rep.) MOUNTAIN HEATH made a very IYI fine bid to win at Woodville last week, more so as he had not raced fpr eighteen months over hurdles, and m the interim had had very little schooling. Next time over the bobs must find him tough. # # # My Own, since racing at Feilding, has done extra well, and although she cannot be strongly recommended for the Auckland Cup, must be one to be considered. # # # The other morning the manner m which she reeled off a mile and aquarter on the Hastings plow track impressed, m fact, if she was accepted as a genuine stayer, the time was such that the Bay's wisest heads would be m boots and all. #• # * Quite a few nice things are now predicted for Nea Lap since her recent second. If she has as much luck m her next outing as she did m her last, then she may gain another minor placing. * * # Kaokaoroa is one that is going to improve a lump with racing, and once Joe Griffiths gets rid of that splint then he will have an easy row -to hoe. '* ' * *- / & The half-brother to Maunga has run a first, two seconds, a third and a fourth m as many*starts since taking on the hurdles. # * # The suggestion to put Call Again away until the winter appears the only wise one that could be adopted. * * . # Jack Cameron's filly, Lotus Lily, through contracting a cold m Sydney has not yet been produced. Hastings, on New Year's Day, will see her making her debut. # *• * "Cam" has afforded The Hawk a nomination at the same meet- | ing. It was here that he made his previous come-back. * * # Perhaps the best "hack" seen out this season is the local Kahikatoa. A big, rakey gelding he has by no means reached the peak of his form yet. By the autumn a decent size handicap must come his way. # * * Lordlike is hard up against it, befng beaten by nags not within stones of him. There is no two ways about it, Quinnie is getting the rough end of the stick all the time. # # * Mrs. M. A. Perry will be sending her two fillies, Poi Girl and Golp Pit, to Awapuni. Both know the way to go fast, and a win is fully expected here. • • • The three that Dick Gregory purchased at the Gaisford sale should see the Clive sport a winner with a big margin. Ever since Dick has been m the game no one could not say he was not m Dame Fortune's best books. • * « Fr^nk Armstrong, after collecting at Waipukurau, intends sending Admiral Drake on to Tauherenikau to have a pop at the Gold Cup. * # * A few adverse comments on the Waipawa Labor Day meeting were made m this column, which have not met with the pleasure of that Club. * * * "Truth's" rep. fully recognises the stiff fight clubs are having, especially the country ones at this particular period, and comments are made for the sole purpose of helping and not hindering. • • « The Waipawa Club and others can rest assured that "Truth" is out to help as much as possible, and when next year we learn that a few necessary alterations have been made, then the good news will be broadcast.'
