WITHOUT REHANDICAPS
Two horses who were not penalised, as they, might have been, for recent wins were successful at'Te Aroha on Saturday. They were Taro and Debham. . "■ .
Taro again led from start to finish, as he had done at Woodville earlier in the week. As the Te Aroha field was practically a maiden one, it was rather astounding that Taro was left on the minimum and not ' rehandicapped, especially as many horses still maidens were assessed several pounds above him. . .■■■<!-."• •■"' :
Debham's case -was somewhat different, as he was encountering better class than when he won at Te Eapa a week earlier, and Kilonsa, whom' he had previously just beaten, was several pounds nearer him in the weights. However, it seemed.a little surprising he did not receive two or three pounds extra, for he was almost-certain to have been benefited by his first race (and win) in open class. . ' : ;
