BLACK SECRET MAY BE OUTPACED BY MANICOU BAY The Dtrilg Telegraph TuesJiry Tchrutrrg I 19tS 29 Golf Roundabout By MICHAEL WILLIAMS An old fate catches 9 up on Humphreys THE ultimate eclipse of Warren Humphreys in the South African Open championship in Durban where he finished fifth six strokes behind the New Zealand left-hander Bob Charles By HOTSPUR went like an arrow down the middle and had 1 stopped kn ACK SECRET who was placed in both the last two Grand Nationals has his first race siace joining Roddy stable at Leicester this afternoon He may not beat Manicou Bay in the Trial Handicap but his running should nevertheless be instructive It was on the advice of Jim Dreaper himself so narrowly beaten on Black Secret in the 1971 Grand National that the nine-year-old came to England in December He had been showing precious little enthusiasm at home and in such cases a change of scene often works wonders If this race suggests that Black keenness has been restored he might still have to be reckoned with over the big Aintree fences of which he is such an established master Today in fact although one of Black opponents Decies Lincoln ride Willie Carson the champion jockey will ride Decies for retaining stable of Bernard van tutsem in the Irish Sweeps Lincoln Handicap at Doncasier on March 24 The six-year-old who did his racing abroad last year been allotted 9st 131b Decies is owned by Mr Nelson Bunker Hunt who paid llOOOOgns him at the 1969 Newmarket December Sales Shoiv Jumping THREE AMATEURS NAMED By ALAN SMITH TF the Olympic Games were being run this year Britain would be able to scrape together the bare minimum of riders needed for a show jumping team Yesterday Major Michael Dewey secretary-general of the British Show Jumping Association said that he had given amateur licences for the forthcoming season to just three international riders Ann Moore Peter Robeson and Graham Fletcher Even these three Major Dewey emphasised are not sure to keep these licences indefinitely who in my opinion are professional have the right to appeal to the stewards And if there are protests about the amateur licences I have given these three then it will be my duty to bring their rases before the stewards he said If the tone of the almost endless discussion of the subject recently is anything to go by protests are by no means unlikely It we must turn pro so should everyone has been the general feeling Vulnerable Fletcher Miss Moore whose horses are owned by her father and Robeson who rides only for himself and his wife look less vulnerable than Fletcher not all of whose horses are in the If it is argued that riding for an owner outside family is not a criterion then such as Caroline Bradley who is certainly an amateur in that she rides for the love of the sport rather than what she can get owt of it might well feel hard done by The stewards of the BSJA are to meet in London tomorrow to consider objections from riders who have been told by Major Dewey that they must turn professional but do not wish to So far only Ted Edgar has said he will object but others may decide to do so Mark Cross and Peter Jones (right) stride for stride with Silkstone (Reg Crank) at the final flight in Leicester Handicap Hurdle Mark Cross had half a length to spare at the post LEICESTER SELECTIONS Tahini scores after being grounded "flSS JEAN ELLIOT was overjoyed when Tahini A carried her colours to success for th' first time by landing the Crowhurst Handicap Hurdle at Plumpton yesterday And no owner HOTSPUR 1 2 0 Parliament Hill 230 Manicou Bay 3 0 Buck Sidwell NIGHT AND DAT (nap) 4 0 Josicael COURSE CORR This 2 30 Interview 330 Night and Day 4 TACK ON (nap) DOUBLE Manicou Bay and Night and Day was disappointing but not surprising His first round 67 which gave him a lead of one stroke quickened British interest but at the same time was to studiers of form almost as good as the kiss of death It is quite remarkable the number of times first-round leaders subsequently slip into the background their early sprint to the front being about as good a guide as is the first horse over the first fence in the Grand National Indeed looking back over last European tournaments I see there were three occasions when the man who led the field after the first round went on to win and it took one of them Jose Canizares in the Lancia event in Italy five extra holes to shake off finally the attentions of Peter Townsend Almost all the way An even more unusual aspect here was that it was not only first major victory but that until the 72nd hole he reallv did lead every inch of the wav He holed his second shot at the first hole for an eagle 2 on the opening day and was not caught until Townsend had a birdie and Canizares a oar at the 72nd Norman Wood was the only British player to win also a firW success after leading in the first round He took the Italian Open championship after beginning with a 65 finally beating Brian Huggett by two strokes He did not however lead aJl the way for his second round of 69 for a 36-bole total of 134 left him two strokes behind Huggett Nor did Jack Newton the owerful youne Australian in the utch Open He shared the first-round with Peter Oosterhuis but quickly lost it and did not edge in front again until the final afternoon concentration Newton is a player about whom I suspect we will hear a good deal in the future On this only his second British tour he won nearly £9000 and one small incident during the Viyella PGA Championship at Wentworth illustrated that his powers of concentration are not lacking I had invested 5p with a colleague as to whether Newton or Brian Barnes hits the longer tee shot and we were standing behind the 11th tee where the bet was to be decided As it happened I was holding a shooting stick at the time and as Newton reached the top of his back swing the stick toppled over (accidentally I should stress!) with a datter that sounded to me like a bomb going off drive nevertheleea his all has for FORM This 2 0 Parliament Hill 230 Midnight Fury 3 0 Khiva Lad NIGHT AND DAY (nap) 4 0 Josicael avoided by keeping to the extreme inside or outside but unless conditions improve overnight the last fence may have to be dispensed with altogether That would suit Interview II but I shall abide by the impression gained at Plumoton namely that Manicou Bay should be followed until further notice A rather more predictable race mav be the Charnwood Handicap Hurdle in which I nap Night and Day who carries the famous colours which once belonged to the late Miss Dorothy Paget double chance Tim Forster and Graham Thorner who run their Grand National winner Well To Do at Haydock Park tomorrow should win both Divisions of the Oadby Hurdle with This and Josicael who at long last began to live up to his reputation at Windsor Although Clump has good point-to-point form I prefer the chance of Buck Sidwell in the Leicestershire Maiden Trained by David Nicholson Buck Sidwell ran quite well at Wincanton last week and should at least be fitter than his opponents The eclipse or anyway exposure of Moonlight Bay has thrown the Schweppes Gold Trophy betting wide open and most of the money yesterday was for Kelanne He is now 8-1 with Ladbrokes 10-1 with and the two firms have between them laid him to lose a total of £22000 I 1 find this sudden furore much more understandable than the lemming-like rush to back Moonlight Bay Kelanne is the class horse of what may well be a substandard race ana with list 131 he is by no means unfairly handicapped Six favourites win All six favourites won at Leicester yesterday including two Cheltenham hopefuls Mark Cross and Ozandels Trainer Michael Scudamore thought that Mark Cross might have gone to the front too soon when he took up the running after the third-last flight in the Leicester Handicap Hurdle But the gelding has plenty of courage and when Silkstone jumped the last upsides he responded to Peter efforts and held off his challenger by half a length Scudamore enjoying his best season as a trainer with 15 winners said that Mark Cross will probably be entered for the George Duller Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham Ozandels who made all the running in the Uppingham Handicap gave Chris Read 26 his 17th winner of the season anci the 25th of his career This improving young who has won five times over fences this season is likely to run in the Arkle Challenge Trophy could have contributed more to the triumph Miss Elliot is head girl and secretary to trainer Jack Cann She drove the horsebox from Devon and led her recent acquisition round the parade ring A tremendous yell and a clap of hands by Cann urged Tahini off the ground at the start and on his wav to a sensational victory My luckiest winner the luckiest winner I will ever train The tapes broke and twisted round another horse who cannoned into Tahini and knocked him to the said Cann He added: thought it was all over but I gave a terrific shout and Tahini struggled to his feet and set off after the The long haul from the West Country also paid dividends for two other trainers John Thorne with Beaming Lee and Ted Fisher with Grey Bird Beaming Lee who led the field (Red Sweeney) is entered in the National he is exceptionally well handicapped His stable-companion Proud Tarquin was for instance set to give him 121b at Leicester while in the National he receives 51b Even so over this three miles 1 doubt if the Irish horse will have the speed to cope with Manicou Bay who came back to form with a vengeance at Plump-ton and mav now become Josh 100th winner as trainer Midnight Fury was unlucky to catch Prince Tino on one of his best days at Kempton Park but an even bigger danger to mv selection may he the good though still erratic novice interview II Jockeys complain There is a distinct possibility that run-in already one of the longest in the country may be doubled in length today Because several jockeys including Graham Thorner and Ron Barry yesterday complained of a boggy patch between the last two fences In small fields it could be LEICESTER at one stage In Mill Derby found the post arriving only just in time for Red determined challenge had cut his advantage to a length at the finish of the Hickstead Hurdle (Div I) Scoring for the second time over hurdles Beaming Lee represents a shrewd buy by Kilve based Thorne who after the horse had failed to reach his reserve at Newmarket last autumn bought him privately for 3000gns He passed on a half-share to Mr Ron Hirst who also has a share in Drakes Gold my 12th winner with 11 horses and it doubles mv previous best score I have manv runners here a 340-mile round trip and hard work when you drive the horse box said Thorne 25th Grey Bird had already taken the measure of Great Opportunity when the latter came down at the final flight of the Hickstead Hurdle (Div II) Mrs Phvliss home-bred six-year-old then ran on strongly to become Doug 25th winner of the season a grand total as he did not break the ice until mid-November I enough to ask him if he ha heard the crah would doubtless have received the answer Joyce Wetbered gave after holing a vital putt when a train thundered past "What she said when asked if it had disturbed her Certainly first-round leads impose a particular pressure the feeling presumably being that there is more to be lost than gained Consequently there seems to be a sub-conscious tendency to go on to the defensive rather than the attack In a sense the most remarkable effort of 1972 came from Jack Nicklaus who took both the Masters and the United States Open after leading throughout the 144 holes though not always on his own It is difficult to know whether there was more pressure on him with the Grand Slam in than on those trying to squeeze past him Americans are con-inced Nicklaus has the rest Warren Humphreys psyched in that his rivals are concerned as much with how Nicklaus is doing as they are in their own progress Not so easy tiev rkla In other words if they are four under par and Nicklaus only level they suddenly think Hey perhaps this course is not as easy as all that and before they know where they are the positions have been reversed There was something of an ex-ample of this only the other day on television when Orville Moody with two putts for the Bing Crosby at Pebble Beach took three and then lost the play-off to who else but Nicklaus?
