Limerick s Heel Troubles i Him After Success PAGANELLIIWRLr RIDDEN (From "N.Z. Truth. V*' Special Sydney Representative.) > With a paralysing run from, the top of the straight, Limerick showed on Saturday he was the Limerick of old.

IN no uncertain manner he wrote paid vto^the account of Mollison, regard- •. Ed as the best iriiler/ produced, m Australia for ;. the last , twp decades. It happened m the Warwick .Stakes. ,'/■ V Thei grand old campaigner -probably riever : A achieved a more meritorious victory m his ; . long 'arid , strenuous career.'"

Winalot was a respectaible third and was by no means knucked about. The racing would benefit him and he is likely to give Limerick, a hard tussle in! the Spring Stakes the first day- of the Randwick meeting. • ' :; Limerick's • heel,, is troubling, him again arid he was very, tender on it when Working on Monday morning. !
