HORSES FALL IN CUP AT KAWAKAWA RACES

EXIT OF EH TIMI Press Association WHANGAREI. Sunday. During: the running of the Cup race at the Bay of Islands meeting at Kawakawa yesterday. Eh Timi fell, bringing down Alonsoa. The former’s back was broken ancl the animal was subsequently destroyed. Alonsoa suffered a. nasty gash near the shoulder, necessitating veterinary attention. The respective jockeys, Spinks and Cannnick, were removed to the Kawakawa Hospital suffering concussion. .Neither case is regarded as serious. Toxeuma’s Failure It might be unvyise to take too much notice of the defeat of Toxeuma in the Foxton Cup, as the soil there is peculiar pnd might not-have suited the Arrowsmith gelding. He ran a £iAr race and will have a turf more to b&s liking at Trentham. However, hit condition at Foxton ..ooked as if it cauld be improved, and if that is the case his prospects are not good, as the races next week are not going to be easy to win. Doubla Engagements Early speculators on Kidgemount for the Telegraph Handicap at Trentham should not overlook the fact that both he and his stablemate. Anolo, are engaged at the Ashhurst meeting, in addi - tion to being acceptors at Trentham. 81’imp And The Cup Blimp won the Foxton Cup so well that he is a possibility, though a somewhat remote one for the Wellington Cup. He will not be seen to advantage if the course is hard, but his prospects will be improved if the going is soft. The reason why he looks to have more than a rough chance is that, despite the fact that he had done little racing for some time, he came right away at the business end after making all the running. He finished up his job like a. horse who will stay if he gets the ground to suit him.
