WINDING THE WATCH
/OUTSIDE of the big race at w Whangarei on Saturday, in which the winner, Vendome, registered 4.40 from a 4.41 mark, other successful candidates stepped a good bit quicker than their handicap, testifying to the "electrical" nature of the track and presumably the atmosphere as well. The following table shows how winners wound the watch up, the handicap time being given in parentheses: —Vanily Boy (2.22), 2.14; Gumdigger (3.43), 3.36; Mountain Princess (3.4), 2.57; Te Wahia (222), 2.15 2-5; Paradigm (4.58), 452; Sweet Memory (3.46), 3.40 2*5; Explosion (2.55), 2.51. It is fortunate *or some owners that there is a f mitation now to penalties, although their time interpretation appears to have some officials nonplussed.
