LIMERICK PAYS
Either Limerick is regarded as being a better horse than Windbag was at the same age or the opposition to him is not so seriously considered. Mr. Knight’s gelding has paid dearly for his autumn victories. Considering that as a gelding he is entitled to an allowance of 31b., he is rated as being better than Windbag. Mr. Wilson (the handicapper) has given him only 11b. less than Windbag, at the same age, had in the Metropolitan, and Mr. Davis has treated him on the same basis in the Melbourne Cup. Many New Zealanders consider that Commendation, the other three-year-old son of Limond, is better than Limerick. Mr. Wilson is content to leave them on the same mark, but in the Melbourne Cup Commendation receives 11b.
