Mahotu. Colonel Bogey showed considerable improvement on his first day’s display when he placed the second-day Empire Handicap to his credit at Feilding on Saturday. The Nightmarch gelding was apparently expected to do better in the weaker field, for he carried £942 10s on Saturday, as compared with £249 (in a smaller pool) on Thursday. Perhaps the track conditions were more to his liking, but even off-the-course information appeared to be aware of his improved prospects. Colonel Bogey had previously won the Heretaunga Handicap, over a mile and a-quarter, at the Trentham spring meeting, and he looks like developing into a useful middle-distance performer.
