Time, 2.44 3-5. A most peculiar circumstance was noted on the Wingatui racecourse recently, llhere was a breakaway at the start* of the Juvenile Handicap, and the horses separated before regathering at the mark. Mr. Fisher's filly Tembioney. making her first appearance iii public, got rather far back, 70yds or 80yds away, and there she stuck while the others were despatched to a good start. The explanation is that she was net seen by the starter. He looked back to see that all were assembled, but a gig standing alongside the course was in his line of sight and hid the filly.
