ROY REED AND NIGHTLY
One of the surpnscs of the course betting on the Metropolitan Handicap was the manner in which Nightly was backed, and he started second favourite.
It cannot be said that Roy Reed rode him with the best judgment through the i-ace, snys the Melbourne writer, "Chiron," and Xightly was further handicapped by meeting with a cheek along the back of the course, which cost him a length or two. That in itself was bad enough, but had Reed shown a little more strength and enterprise afterwards, Nightly might ensilv have turned defeat into victory, as he lost by only two heads.
