NO GOOD AT MARBLES
Every day in every way I'm getting faster and faster, whispered Archeno on Wednesday morning in the ears of ownertrainer Urquhart. He believed her. The mare won.
But it was a struggle against Fate in the form of a ballot box, for Archeno or her rider was no good at all when it came to playing marbles. At the recent Avondale meeting she started from seventeen and seven (ten runners) places in the open sixes, and again at Te Rapa it was every bit as bad, or worse. On Saturday she went off from number eighteen, and on Wednesday she was on seventeen. So to win Archeno had something to do, and on any other course but Te Rapa she would probably have failed.
