Kurow Pacer Sure To Be There Next Year

(By "The Toff")

Rightly installed a better than even money favorite, Roi lOr won the Metropolitan Handicap at Dunedin.

THOUGH he succeeded he did not go as good as he did m the Dunedin Cup. Notwithstanding Roi lOr, after having to turn on a lot of. speed over the first three furlongs ih order to gain a safe position, battled out a stirring finish with Harvest "Child and Jean McElwyn. All the way Roi lOr had to do his work on the outside of Harvest Child. Three furlongs from home he moved up from fourth position tp be on terms" with the leader, Jean McElwyn, at the bend for. home. Roi lOr then made a skip and lost a length.

This enabled Harvest Child to leave the rails and- indulge m a stiff fight with Jean McElw'yn and Roi lOr for first money." A good deal o£ credit is due to the drivers of the three placed horses for the ingenuity they displayed on the trip. Roi lOr is trained l_>y his owner, P. Brown, at KuroAV, and was driven a heady race by D: Withers. Roi lOr is by Rey de Oro from Gold Queen. Next season will find him qualifying for select company. In his last Aye starts Roi lOr has placed four firsts and one second to his credit.
