SHEIK, 4.24
Sheik, m winning tho first division of the Epping Handicap m 4.24, put up a finer winning performance than he showed m New Zealand.
LIIS fastest win m New Zealand was n m the New Zealand Cup Handicap, which he won m 4.26 4/5. For winning m New Zealand m 4.25 4/5, his owner received £1500 and a cup. For winning recently m 4.24, he received £140. When Sheik started, the gap of 168 yards between the back-marker and the leaders looked insurmountable, and with a less experienced driver, it might have been, but Peter Riddle rated his champion m a splendidlydriven race (writea "N.Z. Truth's" Special Sydney Representative).
