Enrich Rehandicapped. Enrich has been rehandicapped to 8.3 in the Grandstand Handicap at the Masterton meeting. An Impressive Win. The Buzzer won the Ling Memorial at Otaki on Saturday in an impressive manner. Always well placed, and never further back than fourth, he went up to the pacemaker, Old Surrey, at the half when his rider found others trying to get past him, and staying there to the entrance to the straight he then drew ahead. He had the race won immediately he took charge, but challenges by Meamea and Homily caused’ his rider to give him a kick. He immediately responded, and finally he was being eased up to win handsomely from Meamea and Homily, who were only heads apart, in front of Master Cyklon. The best of the others were Little Robin, Old Surrey and Pearl of Asia. Little Robin and Pearl of Asia tailed the field in all the running and were too far back in the fast run race ever to have any chance.
