GOOD START

Cohesion Scores First Up

Cohesion made his debut as a hurdler at Gisborne last week and he will be heard of again. .

ONLY given thirteen pounds above the minimum many trainers were squealing at the handicapper's latitude.

And when Cohesion won the squealing increased m volume.

For a maiden hurdler Cohesion gave one of the best displays seen for some time. ' .

He did not lose any time m getting up with the leaders and even when he was going into fences with those which had had more experience than he it made no difference.

Young Mcllroy, who incidentally was having his first ride m a hurdle event, saw that he got a good sight of his fences and then when his mount had the confidence let him run along.

Down the back Cohesion jumped like an old hand — the only. fault that could tie found was ■ that " he was a little extravagant. , ' The last' half-mile was not a race and he won by five lengths.

Though paid up for the second day Cohesion did not run; From this It can be. taken that. he is to be saved' for "something better m the way of money.

And it will come as a surprise to a lot of good judges if he does not make a proper job of a good class hurdle field.

At a mile and a-half he will make them *dizzy chasing him.
