N.Z. Cup Final

heat decisions point TO KINGCRAFT AND LOGAN PARK FIGHTING IT OUT I

PETER BINGEN TOO Now that the glamour of the New Zealand Trotting Cup heats has subsided, the public will turn attention to the eight finalists, i which are carded to fight out the l main issue tomorrow. No surprise will be expressed at the respective victories of Kingcraft and Logan Park, and Sun readers were \Vell prepared for the result. There would be keen disappointment locally, how- > ever, at the failure of Gold Jacket tc j gain a place in bis heat, and his nonappearance in the final has taken the j shine off the Cup for his admirers. Peter Bingen’s fine display in the j first heat was one of the surprises j while Imprint's return to form in such a classy field was somewhat unexpected. From reports to hand Kingcraft gave . L. Withers no cause to worry and the 1 well-fancied son of Quincey and 2 Colene Pointer won handsomely. Jr J the second division Logan Park had a comfortable win and gave nothing a - chance. This points to the issue being , fought out between the two success- , ful division candidates, although Petei , Bingen, on his running with Kingcraft, will make tilings interesting Kennerley’s fine pacer ran right uj ’ to his best form, hut even then he could ’ make very little impression on the ’ winner, and tomorrow the public will l no doubt go solidly for the lieat-win-i ners, and their action would appear tc be well justified. With Kingcraft 1 travelling over the journey two seconds j faster than W. J. Tomkinson’s candi--1 date, lie will probably be the first choice on the machine, but it must be

remembered the latter won with ridiculous ease. The final should provide a good contest and when it comes to tho bitter end Kingcraft’s stamina may give him the preference over Logan p ark.
