IS WANING

Real Light Faded Badly (By "The Toff") Following on his -two displays at Fbrbury, the performance of Real Lighten the Papanui Handicap at Addington was disconcerting to his backers. AFTER making a break at the start, Donald got him to sti-iko his gait, and proceeded with the business, but going out of the straight Real Light made another break. ■ He either has turned sour, or he has trained off, for m his opening, essays he raced like a good horse. Epigram began well, and was m fourth place early, but when holding a winning position he mis-fired m his gait and dropped right back.

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiinm? Wharepiana also made a break and Jolly Pet failed to begin correctly. After Ling-field had led for a furlong Kotuku Jack elected to make the running. Ho took the field to the two furlongs peg m 39 2/ssec. With a mile disposed of m 2.19 3/5, Kotuku Jack, Lingfleld, Golden Bubbles, High Jinks, Jean McElwyn, William the Great and Omaha were racing m that order. Omaha then began to improve his position and all along the back High Jinks was pulling his pilot nearly out of the sulky. Lingfield headed Kotuku Jack at the bend for home, but a furlong down the straight High Jinks came through and Omaha moved up on the outside. In the run to the judge High Jinks kept his rivals at bay, and won by a length from Liingfleld, which succeeded m beating Omaha for second money. Jean McEhvyn made a brave effort m the straight, but she could not reach the placed horses.
