FAILED AGAIN
Kawini's Admirers Fare Badly (From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) Those firm admirers of Kawini who were fully convinced that the Formative gelding was not seen at . his best at Avbndale, and went for . evens last Saturday at Ellerslie, ■ got jt m the neck. COR Kawini did even worse than 1 twelve days previously and finished,no nearer than fifth. .■[ There were onlookers at Ellerslie who still held that' the gelding may have been handled to better effect, but the fact is Kawini really had.no show qn\ the day of giving: away pibs. to the winner, Siaosi. Both the other place -getters, Potoa-: nui and Piet.'have probably boasted more pace than Kawini at his best. That line .of argument can be levelled against .those who attempt to offer excuses regarding Kawini's defeat. ; Anyhow, it is doubtful if Kawini could run 1% miles over seven flights of hurdles m 3.i4 '2/5. That is what Siaosi did to win.
