CLUNY'S THREE WINS

A horse who looks like turning out a 1 useful performer for the Opaki trainer, B. Burgeii, is the Australian-bred-Cluny, a hack before the holiday meetings beganli but a winner during the last fortnight of threei open i races. 1 The successes were in the Amalgamation Handicap, 1% miles, at Waipukurau, and in the President's Handicap, IK miles, and the JJew-Year Handicap, nine furlongs, 'at Hastings. Between the meetings, Ctony had it rnqe among Hacks at'Awapuni, but, strangely, made no Bhowing.- •» ' >. ' u»C1?? y ,'"? now five yeßrs> old- ■Heis a black,gelding with,white,blaze by Cister-' cian (son. of Friar Marcus and grandson of Cicero) from the English-bred Mackintosh mare Lilletend, and was purchased by the late Mr. C.-Elgar in Australia, in whose colours and those o£ Mrs. Elgar he was raced till obtained by Burgess pnvately last year. »■ , Last season he yon two lmqk laces' attractively in a few starts, and prior to resuming his winning way this seaton was placed m most of the few races he Lad. The usual hack distances have probably .been too short for him, and although the >>pen-cla«s performers he has recently beaten have not beon of much quality, i there has been something attiactivc about I his effot ts, for each tjme he has come from the back. It looks as though the middle distances are just to his liking.
