LUCK AT THE GAME

EX-WAIKATO WINNER. The luck of the racing game was strikingly demonstrated at the meeting at Belmont Park (W.A.), when a newcomer into the business as an owner-trainer —a young man named K. Innes —won the Trial Stakes with an aged gelding named Raugikaha, who was hardly any better known to punters than his owner, says a Perth writer. Raugikaha, who is by Valkyrian from Rangiraa, had had only three gallops under colours in the West and there was nothing to say that he was capable of spreadeagling even that field. He was backed for a "ton" of money in a field of 24. Whereas the new venturer .into the ranks of owners and punters won at his third start, the well-known trainer, Bob Burns, who has a fine record for the number of times he headed the list of winning horses, took a string of eight horses to the course, saddled up the lot for various races—and did not win ;• "brass farthing" in stake money! Raugikaha was formerly owned by Mr. J. 0. Gerrand, of Xgaruawahia, and was raced in Melbourne following his sale a couple of years back.
