GREAT FINISH

Logan Chief Brings Home Bacon (From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.) : The Cornwall Handicap caw Logan Chief get horn© by a head In the greatest finish ever witnessed at Alexandra Park. THE held, with the exception of Jewel Pointer, was bunched all the way, The Shrew, Talent and AH Bell having a slight advantage as they turned to race for the judge. Acting as pacemaker, The Shrew was found wanting when it came to stalling them off at the important end. Logan Chief, Dalxneny, AH Bell and Peter Bingen beat her home. Western King found the going a little too soft for him. After losing ground at the start, he had to move smartly to keep a decent position throughout. He was close up at the finish, and, given solid ground under foot, will go a merry mile. Perhaps the worst-placed horse throughout was Imprint, for he had a bunch m front of him all the way. In trying to sneak through on the rails, he received a cheok —and then it was too late to come around. He should soon crack evens for his bad luck and is one that is going to win a fair race over any distance.
