The Te Aroha fixture on Saturday gave; further prominence to the fact that there are several old stagers still battling to win a race that are well and truly past their sphere of usefulness. Some of the owners have hearts like li'ons to keep paying entry, acceptance and travelling fees for candidates that can have no possible chance of recouping the outlay. These men are the sort that he.p to keep the game going, and race mainly for the sake of the sport—a laudable object—but while the public would gladly raise a cheer to mark some well deserved success, the opportunity is not forthcoming. It certainly costs no more to feed, shoe and train a good one than it does those who have reached the superannuation stage.
