NEARLY ANOTHER KEEN
\ FURLONG from home in the concluding event at Te Rapa on Saturday, Abbey Queen was making a fight of it with the favourite, and it was a bit farther on that she had to acknowledge defeat. Abbey Queen ran a great race throughout, and it was only the last hundred and fifty yards that found her out.
It is interesting to know that had Abbey Queen kept going to win she would have returned a dividend of over a couple of hundred of the brightest and best, for there was but £ll invested on her chances.
Owner-trainer S. R. Cribb, of Manunui, was nearly responsible for creating a sensation with this daughter of Quin Abbey and Miss Laius. and in finishing sixth she showed that she can gallop. With a furlong less to go she might have paid a dividend.
