BOTHER TO GET HIM RIGHT

TN the absence of real handicap horses of class it certainly does not make pleasant reading to learn that there are very grave doubts regarding the likelihood of that model racehorse Te Monanui standing the pressure which must be applied if he is to figure prominently m distance events of the future. In conversation with Trainer Jim O'Neill at New Plymouth last week-end, "N.Z. Truth" discovered that the prospects of Te Monanui standing up to really hard training are not bright. He is not altogether "gone for keeps" yet, and O'Neill has no desire that 6uch a good horse should break down completely. O'Neill fears that if he is persevered with, Te Monanui would eventually go, and, rather than that, the desire is that the robust son of Potoa should be saved for stud purposes.' The trouble is m the pastern, and. O'Neill holds out little hope of Mrs. Graham's horse being got right jor spring handicaps. Though he has been entered for the Avondale meeting, "Truth" Learns that he is a very doubtful starter. jMmtmMiiiuinmtttuniiumtimiiiiiiiiiimniiiitiimminnmiimiiiiiHnmiHMmMiHiMMiiiHiimnniiiiimiimm _niiiiiiiMiiliiiiiiiiMiliiiiiiiiiliiiiiiifiiiiliiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiii>iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii>iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii>iniiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHi immimiiiimmimimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiu
