LEGER IS NO GOOD THING

TJP till recent weeks the New Zealand St. Leger appeared to be m the keeping of the Northern Derby winner, Red Heckle, but recent racing has seen a change m public opinion. - Red Heckle may be the favorite on the day, but he is going to be at a good, price. Money is going to come for at least three of the remaining six acceptors. • Nothing appeals more to "N.Z. Truth" than the Fordell three-year-Old, High Falutin'. He has certainly wor^only two races, but it was not the winning of them but'the way he carried out his task. Then at Bulls he almost accomplished the impossible when he gave Gold Cure a terrific start from the turn and failed by a hea.dToxeuma, after a short let-up, came back at Napier and won the open six the second day. He is a good honest sort, up to handicaps, but there is just a bit of doubt if he will run it right' out. ; Breeding is m favor of Concentrate, but he has failed m the classics so far this season. Under a medium scale he seems to give of his best. Red Heckle may, of course, be a lot better than his last race said he is, but when it comes to collecting the red riband, High .Falutin' shoul.d not be disgraced.
