LOST GILT

Forbury Trotting In Showerg LIMOS^S RUN (By "The Toff.") Held m showery weather and on 1 a heavy tracl< f 'the last day of the- Forbury Park Trotting Club's spring meeting was de-. prived of its gilt.

THE three-year-old trotter, Koro * Peter, handled the going mighty well for a youngster and undoubtedly will make good. Victor Bingeh has. plenty of speed, but still is inclined to go to pieces at the start. He lost ground at the beginning of the Suburban Handicap, but settling to" his work from there on, he won fairly ea3ily. * ''-r : Repute can turn on a good burst of speed, but she breaks too often to 'put money " on. A promising young pacer, Limosa, beat a couple of speedy npvices m Roddy and Danny Boy, m the Advance Handicap. ■ ■ After losing -fully sixty yards by misfiring m his gait at the start, Lii'm'p'sa ran into third' place two furlongs, from home. ' : The effort: to get there left him without any punch m the straight! : - High Jinks jazzed home ahead of Maiwharitl and Lenamhor m the Empire Handicap! . : Over the last furlong, F. Price was afraid' to breathe; his tactics getting the none too game High Jinks home a winner. Maiwharlti has a lot of speed and will win a mile event before long. He was not at home 'in the. heavy going. . I^enamhor had every chance, but was incapable of living with Maiwharlti and -jiigh Jinks over thelast two furlongs. ." ■ '"'■'.' •■■■• .' . • -■: When the straight was reached there were only two In tfie Brljahton Handicap. Thfey were Commander Bingen and Nelson Ata. Both were'under pressure, and nearing the judge Commander Bingen went up" m the air and left Nelson Ata to trot' home a winner by Half a length.
