DESTROYED HORSE
Badly Injured In Training The four-year-old Munro had to be destroyed after being seriously injured at Riccarton yesterday. Munro, an acceptor for the North Canterbury Racing Club’s meeting on Saturday, took charge of his apprentice rider, A. Palmer, on the course proper, careered over to the inside of the track'and straddled the running rail. He was suffering from radial paralysis, the result of a severe injury to the shoulder, and was put down. Palmer fractured a joint in one of his fingers. Munro was a bay gelding by Isaac of York from Spring O’Heather owned by Mrs B, G. Rutherford and Dr. A. H. Meikleham and trained by R. W. Bromby. He had only one race.
