“I went, down to Otaki the first day to back two horses —Pr in temps and Solfanello —but on reaching the course I tvas told that neither of them would win; so I looked about for something else, and lost; The second day I went, again, and wilh the linn intention of backing nothing else but American Beauty. When I reached the course, I went to have a look at tho.hor.se and Avas told that it didn’t have a hope. So, of course, I backed something else.
