"TOGO" LEE’S HARD LUCK
PECULIAR,and for ‘the owner of the third horse, unfortunate incident occurred at the Hamilton trots on Saturday when Anselm, penalised 12yds for his dead-heat with Uncle Bert in the mile dash, started off his original mark (72yds) and finished in second money, cutting “Togo” Lee out of this portion of the stake by half a head. It transpires that although the penalty was announced by the handicapper, no notification was given the starter to this effect, with the result that Anselm was dispatched minus his penalty, which made all the difference at the finish between him and Nelson Dillon, who under tha correct circumstances would have returned a dividend.
