DOUBLE JUST MISSED
The apprentice G. Smith narrowly missed riding a winning double at Ellerslie last Saturday when he was beaten by a head on Knight of Australia by Valamito in the Alison Cup and half a head on Paddy the Rip by Majority in the Cheltenham Handicap. Valamito is owned and trained by the lad's father, F. Smith, who has one of the strongest teams in Auckland at present. It is not long since young Smith commenced riding, but he is a promising boy and he is becoming more expert as he gains experience.
