Racing Season Opens With Track Record
The Canberra racing meeting opened with a track record and a strong turnout of about 840 spectators. High Brow, ridden by C. Claret, won the main Spring Handicap by a length from Wallaby and Allagram, as Fiery Comet led early but faded. Trainer G Hawker noted the horse’s exceptional form and cautioned against overtraining.
