YEAR: 1952 FEATURE RACE COMMENT Gold Horizon(W J Doyle) notches his third important success of the season by winning the NZ Hambletonian Handicap from Single Cash(9) and Fair Isle(4). Signal Light was fourth. By Quite Sure(2.01¾ - a record he set as a free-legged pacer), Gold Horizon is out of another pacer in Eyre(2.49). This marked his ninth win, his stakes earnings being £7285. Single Task's effort was meritorious as she might have won but for being badly placed just inside the last half mile. Credit: NZ Hoof Beats Vol 2 No.12 |
