SOME TROTTER

Was Tomky Caught Off Guard? (From tk N,Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.) ...\v; Although Young Blake got touched off by Waikaha at Epsom last Saturday, he was a trifle unluoky. • - FROM ninety-six yards behind, he was under a pull:over the first mile. The manner In -which he was doing his work looked as If he would get the best part of the etake, even though he was well back and giving a decent start to Rose Blngren and Waikaha. When Waikaha and Rose Blngen cracked on the pace and opened up daylight between themselves and the field, Tompkinson may not have teen expecting such a move and may have been caught napping. When he did get to work on Young Blake, the others were well ahead. T. Though he tackled and beat Rose Blngen, he failed to reaoh Waikaha by the Bmall margin of a neck. "N.Z. Truth" inclines to the belief that "Tomky," at the moment that Waikaha onaHose Bingen clesurrt out, was not expecting such, a piece of engineering at that stage. The few seconds It took for Mm to realize the taotießadopted toy .the other pair, however, turned what looked like oertain vlotory Into defeat. FROMTHt NORTH (From "N.Z. Truth's' l.
