PALFREY GOING TO STUD

Probably the last has bebn/'. seen of the Man's Pal horse Pal- ; frey, as he is destined to go to-. a ! North Island stud.farm, A hardy galloper in his time, Palfrey.wasi chiefly noted for his late finishing run, which often came just a'-little too late to catch a win, but he- ran many fine races in some of the ; most import'ant handicap events i in New Zealand. • *. -v - •••'; Palfrey' wohtthe 1D4 3 :Dun-edin Cup, was second in the 1945' Great. , Auuumn Handicap. to First- In, and won the T946 -Teschemaker Handi- • cap. • His last start rewarded -him with a third in the.. W.R.C. President's Handicap to Royal Victor and Cowpei'.- Palfrey is a -seven-/ year-old horse and will be.'missed from the - rank's of handicappers next season. . Royal Laneer Finished . Royal Lancer has finaliy finished ' with racing, and: this old timer-is to ' be turned out for good.- Royal Lancer may have been called a

champion in his day, for he was ivietorious on many occasions. His ilast race this seafeon was in the iPresident's Handicap at the i Trentham meeting last March, •when he ran unplaced. ' The 1943-44 season saw Royal Lkncer at his best, and many of ■ the main flat events of that season fell to him. He was considered to be one of the most consistent geldings of that season. j I Supreme's Good Win j The Otaki horse, Supreme, scored a good win in the first division, of ; the Kimbolton Stakes from Airpier, and her win suggested tfiat/ 'she is very fit -and will. be hard to i ,beat in future events this season..; Supreme is a four-year-old mare; 'by Broiefort from Fairfox and is ;trained by W. McEwan. . i I Gay Flame Well Supported The Gay Boy gelding, Gay Flame, was well supported in the Kiwitea Ladies' Bracelet on Saturday, but he tired after leading for seven-. furlongs. He ran a little too close' to scme of his jumps, but it wasonly his second start over hurdles iand he may make an improved , showing in his Napier engagement next Saturday. Penwilt's Fall Penwilt, who fell and broke his neck In the Kennels Steeples, was a six-year-old gelding by Gynerium • from Royal Gem. tle has been one of the most consistent jumpers of the district and had bright prospects in store. ... Inka Destroyed In the Windsor Hurdles a.t Ellerslie last Saturday, Inka fell heavily , at the second to last fence and nadj to be destroyed when it was found ; that he had 'broken his neck/ Previous to last Sa/turday's race, . Inka had had only two starts over hurdles. He was rewarded with a j third when he dead .heated wiui ' Pomade in the Otara Hack Hurdles at Tauranga a fortriight ago, and W JilHi 1 the Paeroa meeting a week ago. ; These two races revealed that he j had gocd promise as a jumper. Owned by the well knowfi northern sportsman, Mr'. Harvey Evers, Inka was an aged bay gelding by Jay from A^alda.
