CONCLIFF LETS PUNTERS DOWN

Had Concliff been stepped out m the mile and a -quarter last Saturday he would have been made favorite. Horizon's supporters were fortunate that this nag was bracketed with Taipare m .the Tamaki Handicap. * '■''* ' * Uramic will return a dividend shortly. •• . ; •;• - •■■■*.•■ • Rey Logan must come home m due course. He should be all the better for last Saturday's race. * ...'*. . - ... THE ONLY' SOLUTION What is the use of being handicapped on the limit when there are so many on the front mark that' they have to be split up into different rows? That is what happened In connection with the Tamaki ' Handicap 'at Otahuhu. . It would seem there is only one correct solution: To run such races m divisions. The trotting heads should act m this direction. . * ■*;'■■ * ■ . Antelope, a Great Audubon—Penelope mare m J. T. Paul's charge, may be heard of later. Was a starter last week. # # «■ Mckonui looks one m the making. He is one of Peter Moko's stock of the right stamp. * * ■' # ' ' Direct Action showed some form 1 m the Trial last week. G. Phipps has hopes that he may yet coifie right. * * * ■ . ■ . Te Aroha form worked out fairly well at Otahuhu. < .* * *•• Master Huia has, some^speed, but is evidently no easy nag to handle to effect. * ■ • # •.#'..' Keep on chasing the cash spilt over Concliff. It, looks dollars to .doughnuts on getting it back. * * \. * Sea Pearl's racing condition won her the Otahuhu Cup m the last little bit.

He was' always thereabouts. « ■ • " .' ■" ' • ' Auto Machine is not truly reliable off the mark.

His lack of solidity interfered with others. * * * Logan Chief was noticed going along smoothly at one stage of the Otahuhu Cup. The Logan .Pointer gelding \is not entirely done with. » .♦ . • Billy Whizz made a flash last week, but got no cash. ..*. ■■■■'■*• *.... Ingle , Bingen had the speed to hit thfe front m the President's, but not the solidity to stay there. PAYABLE VSEA PEARL The wine of good-fellowship'flowed freely after G. McMillan received the cup trophy at Otahuhu by the aid of Sea Pearl. : George, is one of our most popular owners. Sea Pearl has gathered m about £ 3900 m stakes. Not a bad return for an outlay of £ 600 m purchase money. . $* . . *. FIRPO STINGS Firpo's failure last week-end stung punters to an expensive tune. He was the hottest favorite of the day at Otahuhu, and had no chance from the word go, failing to go off kindly.
