WHY THE DIFFERENCE
WHEN Andover went 3.28 3-5 ** at Claudelands in the 12furlong event, he showed a big time improvement, being handicapped on a 3.37 mark. At Alexandra Park recently Maid of the Mountains won over a similar distance in 3.28 2-5 off a 3.312 peg. Their record is to all intents and purposes much the same, and there does not appear over a longer distance. Still, in to be any reason for gauging one as so much superior to the other the slower class two mile at Hamilton, Andover is placed ori the end, 4.44, and Maid of the Mountains is asked to concede the Te Awamutu horse 48yds (4.40). Whether Joe Gee’s mare is the better stayer of the pair remains to be seen.
