WELL NAMED

Supremacy Is His To Date (Prom "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) It was whispered from Te Awamutu that Bill Stone had a two-year-old m his charge which could go fast. LIOWEVER, It was surprising to most n people to find Supremacy elevated to the position of first favorite from the time betting started m connection with the Avondale Stakes. However, the totalisator support proved a true guide; and a runaway victory was achieved. The judge gave a six lengths margin from the second horse, Hunting Day, but it looked more. It is doubtful if any previous Avondale Stakes was won m easier fashion than that by Supremacy. The gelding is well named if last Saturday's performance can be taken seriously. There were defeated visitors with solid experience m parade sprints. This experience had been denied Supremacy. , Still, Supremacy looked very forward m appearance, and Trainer Stone informed "N.Z. Truth" after the race that his charge had been m hand since last February and doing the right stuff. From arrival at Avondale, three days before the race, the son of •Chief Ruler had never been allowed to go against time, and because of this punters evidently preferred to hearken to the Te Awamutu whispers. As' it turned out the price was extra good for such a moral, and even the connections were satisfled. Supremacy is hardly built to be favored by the damp conditions which prevailed, and because of that there will be a rush to get on again when he lines. up on firm tracks during the spring. His forward condition should earn more cash before some really crack two-year-old comes into the picture.
