CARELESS RIDING
JOCKEY SUSPENDED AT TAUHERENIKAU The jockey, D. Lamb, was suspended for one month for careless riding at the second day of the Wairarapa Racing Club’s summer meeting, held on Tuesday. The committee decided that the fall of Golden Flame and Happy Heels in the Greytown Handicap was contributed to by Lamb’s careless riding. The fall occurred half a mile from home. Lamb was riding Gay Hunting, sixth favourite, and was at the rear of the field with Golden Flame and Happy Heels, third and seventh choice, respectively, when the accident happened. Fortunately, M. Gilmore, rider of Golden Flame, and R. Hawkins, rider of Happy Heels, escaped with superficial injuries and a shaking. Gilmore injured a’ hand.
