The Broken Pitcher All good sportsmen must hays grieved to see how Limerick laboured in the run home of the Craven Plate. He was not a fit horse, and was an illustration of the pitcher being taken to the well once too often. Plenty of people blamed Mr. Knight and his trainer, F. D. Jones, for starting the champion after it had been necessary to poultice his heel on Tuesday, say- s the Sydney "Sun” of Tuesday week last. It has to be borne in mind, however, that Limerick’s lieel liad bten similarly troublesome ever since be first came to Sydney as a three-year-old. It was being poulticed when he ran in the A.J.C. Derby. Then in Melbourne, two days before he was placed in the V.K.C. Derby, aftvr he had don© his final track gallop, he could scarcely move one foot in front of the other. He seemed to recover considerably, and he did a great deal of racing as a four-year-old; but when he was here last autumn the trouble recurred. After running in the Chippendale Norton Stakes at the Farm r.e could not put liis near heel to th® ground, yet within a fortnight afterwards he had won the Autumn Stakes, the All-Aged Stakes and the Kings Cup. No doubt Jones expected him to make a similar speedy recoveryLimerick must possess wonderful courage to enable him to triumph so far over his physical disability, and other owners can only speculate what <» e would have accomplished if he had always been perfectly sound.
