MAYBE HE IS

High Pitch Scared . After Fall (Prom'"N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland kep.) It seems certain the fall sustained by. High Pitch m the Cornwall Handicap left its effects upon the . gelding. -. QN the great form he displayed at Te Rapa of the late autumn, when he accounted for a double, Irwin's gelding appeared " particularly "well ■ placed among the milers he encountered at the Te Kuiti fixture. He is known best as a soft ground proposition, yet he failed to gain, even minor place-money In each of two starts; It cannot be said he was overburdened, for his good autumn form merited the poundage allotted. High Pitch had been going just as well as ever m his trials at Paeroa, and his owner- trainer was keenly disappointed at his recent failures. A fall has the tendency to make most horses field-ahy, and it may be the same m the case of High Pitch. Still, the trouble should wear off later, on. ; And when the hefty son of Sarchedon. regains,- his '. confidence he should be capable of again returning to the. birdcage a winner. He won the 1926 Railway Handicap and it takes more than a dud , to place' such* a race to his credit.
