OUT OF LUCK

Stormy Has Stormy Passage

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) The 1 majority of Stormy's supporters m the final event at the Dargaville fixture appeared to be dumb-founded when "Skipper" Ryan's mount was placed no nearer than third. ' "TRUTH" often takes up a position m ■ front of the main stand at Avon - dale and can easily imagine the public there forming wrong conclusions. , . From there, it certainly did appear that Stormy with 'his bold finishing effort might have got up m. time, but the angle from the judge's box across the track puts a different aspect on: the matter altogether, and "Truth" believes that the judge was right. Nevertheless, those m front of the stand took a lot of convincing) arid hung around for quite a time m case the judge's verdict was changed. As a matter of fact, the interference which Stormy : ahd : others met with from the capers of the erratic Golden Wedding as she hopped off from the barrier may easily have ended m the reversal of placing^ between Golden Wedding and Stormy under harsh stewardship, but there was nothing doing. '■■'■■ There was no doubt that the trouble at the start cost Stormy the racp. He had to come from a: fair Svay back to get third at the finish. '

. A fact worth recording is that Goldfinch and "Keesing aboard the deadheaters saluted the judge as .winners for the first time since their return to the saddle. . , . ,
