SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR
TF the painstaking trainer, W. A T. Turner, refrained from making the air blue when Carwood refused duty three furlongs from home in the Elstow Handicap, he can be acclaimed as a model of virtue. To find his trotter fully 60 yards in front of his opponents and only three furlongs to go, and a thumping dividend in sight, was enough to make any driver feel jubilant, but when the good thing unexpectedly comes undone through faulting and refusing to go right from there on, the feelings and expressions of the man in the cart can better be imagined than described. However, Turner’s turn is perhaps not far off.
