A CONSISTENT PACER

HAROLD LOGAN’S IMPROVEMEN’R No horse in New Zealand has ever made such a wonderful advancement jin a comparatively short space of time as Harold Logan, who during ti e last seven months, has won no fewer than 10 races out of a dozen • starts. His pel’’ formanees right through ; have been remarkable, and there is' no telling to what heights he will attain, states an exchange. • m „ tt u When trained by R. 08. Berry, Harold Logan was considered unsound, and after a few failures was discarded. Veterinary attention and a good spell evidently made a new horse of him, and when he re-entered the racing arena under R. J. Humphries he soon got on the winning list. Altogether in the seven' months he has won £27'60 in stakes —a really handsome return for the £lOO and a small contingency involved in his purchase by Miss E. Hinds. Commencing at Wanganui In April, Harold,Logan won a 3.40 class improvers’ event, which was followed up by * dual success at Haweia, and before returning south the. Taranaki Cup was added to his collection. After a couple of defeats Harold 'Logan, set trotting enthusiasts •>thinking by winning a mile and a-half event at Addington in the fast time of 3.19. A visit to Auckland last June resulted in two more victories. In winning the Adams Memorial Cup I Harold Logan performed like a cup horse, and he was at that period mentioned as a New Zealand Cup candidate. This season he won at Addington and Oamaru, and at Addington last week set the seal on his fame by winning over two miles in 4.22 from a 4.27 Just when Harold Logan’s Wonderful run of successes will terminate is difficult to say, but by his sterling performances, which have placed him in the first flight of Dominion pacers, his name will go down in New Zealand trotting history as one of the marvels of the track. Aucklanders are hopeful that he will be found contesting the Auckland Cup next month, and there is no doubt that he would make it decidedly interesting.
