Later he was found following the hounds and last season his activities were not altogether profitless. While he was a long way back in the early stages of the Waitarere Steeplechase at Levin last Saturday, he put in some solid work over the last mile to get tip and take second place (after Cardhu had fallen) and pay a better price than the winner.
