“BOKO’S”
A T both the Hamilton and Whangarei trotting Fixtures it was not an uncommon occurrence to find horses winning or being beaten by a nose or half a head, and again was this “close call” decision in evidence at Alexandra Hark. Such results are gratifying to the handicappers, and make the work of th'e judge a ticklish job, but it is pleas-ing to note that the recent decisions have given general satisfaction, proving that the public has good reason for the confidence placed in the officials in charge of this important department. With adjustments bringing the fields so close together at the finish, it looks as if owners, in future, as well as breeding for speed and stamina, will pay attention to raising stock with “big heads and long noses.”
