For exhibiting rooted disinclination to leave the mark when the starter calls “Look out,” Overdraft must surely be just about "the limit,” says a Southern writer. Out of three occasions on which she went to the post during the Taranaki Christmas meeting she only followed the other horses once, and even then it was a case of follow instead of going with them. As she had incontinently got rid of a light boy at the post on her previous essay, Overdraft’s owner put up 71b. overweight to obtain the services of C. Jackson, who certainly did get her off the mark when the flag fell, but I cannot say that he had all the best of the argument, because the mare dropped him neatly overboard as soon as he walked her out of the bird cage on to the course.
