Change of luck
The Riccarton horseman,) Pon McCann, was still under! suspension as a race rider for the second day of the Canterbury Jockey Club’s meeting yesterday but he met with success as a; trainer. He prepares the former northerner. Palanga, which, beat the favourite, Dee Why,) and six others in the Shirley Handicap. Palanga’s victory completed two trebles on yesterday’s programme. The T.A.B. 1
treble with First Metric and Her Greatest was worth 5250.95. Her Greatest, Puketitiro, and Palanga returned a, course treble worth $349.15. Palanga has now won two races for the McCann stable. The six-year-old son of the famous patriarch, Copenhagen 11, is raced by Messrs J. D. Bennett, R. H. Johnston, J. K. Risdon, and R. G. Rowe, and was ridden yesterday by the Wingatui horseman, Jim Pankhurst.
Dee Why made most of the running. Jim Collett, try-) ing for his fifty-second win- j ning ride for the season,! was obviously dissatisfied with the absence of early i pace, and took the Lomond' gelding clear before the! 1400 m. Dee Why- could not con.-, tain Palanga in the final pinch, but stayed comfortably clear of the others, which were led in by Orgella. ______________
