Garcon d’Or Has Impressive Win

An impressive performance by Garcon d’Or in the Second Wills Free-For-All highlighted the Christchurch Trotting Club’s equalisator meeting at Addington on Saturday afternoon.

A winner at the recent National meeting at Addington, Garcon d’Or met with a bad check early, but recovered to lead for the last mile and win comfortably. The Captain Adios gelding’s time for the mile and five furlongs was 3min 27 3-ssec, almost three seconds faster than the next best winning time of the day.

There was an attendance of 1492, and £2702 was invested on the equalisator. Results:
