SEVERE PENALTY
T TAD Akenehi won on a good -LL track and improved her handicap somewhat, she could hardly have been more severely penalised than was the case at Epsom last week-end. The Peter Moko mare certainly won nicely on Saturday, but to be brought back 48 yards for the victory was rubbing it in. However, as her party paid up and started the grey mare, and the public backed her as practically unbeatable on Monday, all concerned must have been satisfied with the handicapper’s decision. The Te Awamutu owned mare was well and truly beaten, perhaps as much by the unsatisfactory conditions as the handicap, and she will ° e looked for at a future date. Akenehi’s case reveals one phase of adjusting, and that is, there is a necessity for protecting horses on slow tracks as well as fast ones.
