AT FALSE ODDS
TUST why tne trotting public at Addingtoii al.owed Royal Silk to start the eutsider of four runners in the Champion Handicap on Saturday is one of those incidents that “Abaydos” fails to fathom. In the Christchurch Derby in November, Royal Silk was defeated narrowly by Purser, Ngingo Ngingo finishing within a head of the Silk Thread colt. At the Auckland Christmas fixture. Royal Silk was that close a third in the sensational Derby that many thought he had won. Admitting that since the classic at Epsom Ngingo Ngingo won a race at Wellington, the evenness of the performances ©f these two colts in their classic duels made it look an impossible task for Bryce’s youngster to concede Royal Silk 24yds. That such was the case was proved conclusively on Saturday, but the surprise of the wffole business is that instead of being elected favourite in the small field. Royal Silk was at the .argest odds.
