DREW TWENTY-SIX
When a horse in a field of twenty-six draws marble number twenty-six, then it is wise to look closer in for the winner. That was the only reason for the failure of Delightment In the King George Handicap on Saturday.. Even as the field swept into the straight the gelding from Whangarei was in the limelight, being on the outside of a number of horses, but of course his chance was practically nil. The first day at Ellerslie Delightment, looking better and fitter than at any time in his career, won the open sprint in easy fashion. Delightment’s followers are no doubt perfectly well aware that the Auckland meeting concludes to-morrow. Furthermore, his owner and trainer must have prayed hard for the rain that fell so copiously last night.
