FEATURE RACE COMMENT
1933 NEW ZEALAND FREE-FOR-ALL
Red Shadow came through the Spring Meeting with an undefeated record in his four races by winning the Free-For-All from Kingcraft, who came with a fast run on the fence a hundred yeads from home. Harold Logan was in third place.
The early leaders were Free Advice, Glenrossie, Red Shadow, Royal Silk, Harold Logan and Sir Guy. With half a mile to go Harold Logan was last, but he then made a fast forward move, and leaving the back straight he drew level with Red Shadow. Red Shadow and Harold Logan then drew clear, and into the straight Red Shadow had a very slight advantage of Harold Logan, with Free Advice and Glenrossie following.
Then just as it was expected there would be an exciting tussle Harold Logan broke, but quickly recovered his gait, only to break badly again, and Red Shadow then had the lead which he held to the post to stave off the final thrust of Kingcraft by half a length. Harold Logan was three lengths further back in third place; then came Royal Silk, Sir Guy, Free Advice, and Glenrossie. Roi l'Or and Great Logan did not leave the mark.
