spot 18 RED-HOT REVERSALS Patadawn Punctures in Handicap RACE RUN AT FUNERAL PACE FORM was flattened out in yesterday's Canterbury Handicap like a tomato under a Main Roads Board steam roller. Recent running said that King William and Paladawn would almost lap the field, but the bottom fell right out of that assumption when a long-priced 'un in Frances Cullene beat King William, and Patadawn was unable to fill a place. A beat Rosehill, King on William Wednesday, over a quarter and this pair should have been able to Anish well ahead of yes terday's poor lot. But the book: makers' Guardian Angel WAR Aging low at the ele course yesterday. -not motor one eithercould have pacec the feld for the Arst six furlongs, and the fact that It took them 3.86 Patadawn, a mile and Finch.
to run the eleven la sufficient to show how was the pace. Horses like New Sweet and Val. halla, why are not equipped with self. starting motors, were right on the heels of the pacemakers for the frat half mile. After settling down, Frances Cyllene assumed control over King William, Patadawn, New Sweet, Wana Mor and Valhalla.
Jassing by the Judge's box the Aret time round, Frances had a length's lead over King William, who was closely tended by Patadawn. Wana Mor, Valhalla and Gay Gordon. The latter, who talla off in hurdle races. was challenging Frances Cyllene for the lead passing the alx furlongs, while King William, Patadawn. WAna Mor and Valhalla were within length of the leaders.
Hustler was last. Going along the back Frances Cyl. lane stepped on the gas a bit, and she rushed up the hill with a length's advantage over King William, who was couple in front of Patadawn and New Sweet, Gay Gordon and Wang Mor following. Approaching the home turn Frances Cyllene Increased her lead, and in few more strides put the issue beyond doubt. King William made taint attempt to overbaul her in the last half furlong.
but he had shot every bolt in his locker, and the little mare passed the winning post with a length to spare over King Wil(tam, who was 8 length and a half In front of New Sweet. with Patadawn fourth and Gay Gordon last. Canterbury Handicap has proved pitfall for punters in the past. There la generally something sticking out in it, and with monotonous regularity the "good thing" pushed overboard. Perhaps the slow pace meant dawn's undoing.
yet for horse who nad won so well the previous Wednesday his form was shockingly bad. Frances Cyllene was ridden a waiting race in front by jockey Finch, who had not cracked it on Metropolitan track since the sex femme wore fannel shirts. King William to $40, C. Hall £100 to 840, C. Ball.
