RUNNING TO WASTE
the bread of idleness when he might be winning good stakes is the Hal ZolockTwinkle Chimes gelding Hal Chimes. This fellow is the pride of Ngaruawahia, and there is no disputing his ability when thoroughly wound up for the job. I Hal Chimes has proved himself a great saddle merchant and with races coming on at the various country fixtures where those who prefer the weight on top are given a chance to specialise, it seems a pity that such a proved pacer should be kept off the scene. In the fall of the year 1925 Hal Chimes was started twice only, and caught the prize each time, the events being run with the weight up. The following year he visited the races five times for one victory, again acquired in saddle. Last season the Ngaruawahia gelding only started twice, but was palpably out of form, and it does not look as if he will be ready to race again this year. If his owner cannot find time to prepare this more than useful customer, it would surely be good business to put him in professional hands* There would be no doubt about the result, as properly trained Ha! Chimes would show the saddle exponents just how the job should be done.
