N.Z. JOCKEY'S SUCCESS
J. McFarlane, who was first apprenticed to H. E. Gray, at Takanini, and afterwards with L. G. Morris, at Marton, has had a short but varied race-riding career. A year before he completed his apprenticeship, McFarlane was thrown during a race at Riccarton and received extensive injuries.
When he recovered he decided to try his luck in South Africa and his father, Mr. T. J. McFarlane, Whangarei, has been advised by cable that he had ridden a winner in his first ride in that country- McFarlane was successful in New Zealand and en route to South Africa he rode a winning mount at Adelaide, so that he has won races in three countries. McFarlane is 21 years of age.
