LEAHCiM'S COME BACK
Nearly 12 Years of Age
WINNINGS EXCEED £8,000
In a few weeks' time Leahcim wilt
be entering on his twelfth year. Dur
ing his racing career he has secured
49 placings, his winnings amounting to
. more than £8,000.
South Australia is noted for the deeds
©f its veterans. They seem to last longer
in this State than elsewhere. Benoni, St.
Speed. Aurie Anton. Epistle. Water Pistol,
and Pistolier have afforded striking ex
amples.
Jiidgin? by the way be ran home at the
Iteact of the field in the Gawier Cup, Leab
cim has by no means come to t)ie end of
his tether. It was certainly a feather
in the cap of G. V. Bates to set the old
fellow back to racing trim after Ins re
tirement had been announced. Bates leased
I^eahcim, and the geldinjr has shown no in
dication of a l'ecurrence of hi6 shoulder
trouble.^
Leaheim first raced on March. 19. 1021.
He was then a two-j-ear-old, trained by the
late W. T. Hopwood. Hits first race was
in the Richmond Park Stakes, and a day
or two later he ran a dead heat with
Lionel Attiwell in the Gang Forward
Stakes.
So little was thouqht of the prospects
of the St. Anton geldinq that he re
turned a dividend or £183 11/.
Since then he has added 20 more vr;ne. 15
seconds, and 13 thirds to his list. His
winnings are about £8 500.
Some of his best performances were his
defeat of Wynette. a subsequent Adelaide
Cup heroine, in the Elder Stakes, and his
-wins in the Birthday Cup. Yan Yean
Stakes at Flemington. Parkside Stakes,
Monreith Stakes, and John Barker Stakes.
Leahcim has proved himself most versa
tile, as he has scored just as easily over
seven furlongs as over a distance.
