At that age he won; six races, four of them in; succession, and was particu-; lariy impressive when he, beat a field of sprinters over 1200 m at Invercargill in the; smart time of 1.10.4. I His other victories in-
deluded the Otago Racing tlClub’s Telegraph Handicap Le Roy Brown will be the t; first son of Keekerok to [take up stud duties.
