/"''EMLIGHT was served up a firm favourite in the Nursery Handicap at Ellerslie yesterday, but the good thing came undone] through no fault of the horse and its rider. At the peg the Australian-bred youngster held number 13 marble (that should have served as a warning to his admirers), and this meant with several horses on the inside? getting away smartly that he was forced to cover a whole lot of extra ground. This was obvious when he came into the straight, for on the turn he was right off the course, about six horses out. There he had half a dozen in front of him, and he finished sixth.
