REAL TROTTER

Young Blake Is At

His Best

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) When the talk- m future turns to crackajack square-gaiters, Young Blake will be included.

LIE gave it a great, go off 4.30^ up ** . north last' week and although third money was the best he could get m the Hillsboro' Trot he went 4.28 3-5. The son of Wildwood Junr. was set a Herculean task over the final threequarter against Tiger Salve, Tradesman, Maxegin and Co.

But he tackled his job like a hero and was less than a length behind the first-named pair at the end of the two miles.

Northerners have seen some good exhibitions of trotting, but nothing m comparison with that of Young Blake under such conditions.

If stepped out m the Dominion" Handicap at Aldington next month, Tomkinson's charge, with a repetition of Alexandra Park form, should land the mustard.

Auckland is the place to tear them off. ' : '

Some of the doings at Epsom would have made a blind man gasp.

Reremai for a two-mile later on. She was badly left at Epsom.
