HIS MEETING

Tom Duncan Cleans Them Up

The punters were seeing red at Wanganui last week-— the red be- : longing to Tom Dunoan. THE Course, is one that horses trained 1 by Fred Tilley has a nasty habit of doing things on. He started off on. the right leg on Thursday when Cashier won the Maiden. That was the first bit of red the punters saw— and it was not a bad bit either. Then later m the day another bit of ii — —^— red bobbed up and

the punters were seeing more than red — for Consent had got tip and beat a hot favorite m Episode, Owner Tom was more than pleased m winning the classic, for he had bred Consent himself. And he "shouted," too! Started Saturday and, after one of

the gamest displays Been for a good time, Laughing Prince, which cost Tom a thousand, came home and won the Eclipse to the plaudits of the crowd. Nothing suoceeds like success, but the trot had to end.

But it was only bad luck that stopped the run of wins— for another should have been reoorded. Instead Cashier ran a dead -heat with Desert Lad, but a stride past the post Cashier was In front. Nobody begrudges Tom Dunoan his successes. He takes the good with the bad, and laughs all the while.
