FINAL DAY AT AWAPUNI

Main Event To Silent Scott (New Zealand Preet Association) PALMERSTON NORTH, April 14. Finishing with a brilliant run in the straight, Silent Scot beat the favourite, Dune, in the Manawatu Trotting Handicap, the main event on the final day of the Manawatu Trotting Club’s meeting at Awapuni on Saturday.
