Bradamante, who dead-heated with Parisian Diamond at the Wairarapa meeting, was re-handicapped 51b. for the Parawanui Handicap at the Rangitikei meeting, and in a field of nine finished outside the first five, though the race was a well-contested one, the first three being head and head. Parisian Diamond was penalised 51b. also for his dead-heat and won, and was then raised 111 b. and won again on the second day, all of which goes to show that he may have been unlucky not to have beaten Bradamante outright at the Wairarapa meeting.
