Spectacular
Plunge
Goes Astray
SYDNEY, Sun.-A spectacu
lar plunge on Whirlwood failed
at Canterbury yesterday when
the colt was unplaced in the
Two-Year-Old Handicap for
colts and geldings.
The topweight, Mazooka, who
eased in the market from 2 to
1 to 5 to 1, won the race by
1* lengths from Tsajadyne and
broke the race record by a
quarter of a second.
The solidly-backed Trans
Tasman ran on strongly to be
a neck behind Tsajadyne.
Money wagered on Whirl
wood was lost early in the race.
The colt, who left the start
ing gate slowly, was sixth on
settling down, and had to be
bustled along to run into
fourth place by the half-mile.
He weakened badly and fin
ished last.
