Didham Family Had Good Day At Orari
Otago horses won half of the programme at Orari on Saturday and members of Wingatui’s Didham family saddled three of them. A. E. Didham’s stable was represented successfully by Highland Fair, which finished solidly from the middle of the field to win the Arundel Intermediate Handicap going away by a length and a half, and Bellition, a smart Bellborough filly which outclassed her maiden rivals in the Winchester
Stakes at the first time of asking. Bellition, which is raced by her trainer, was ridden by his
son E. J. Didham. Another son, J. Didham, saddled Calvados to win the Claude Stock Memorial Handicap, main on the programme. In fact, horses prepared by the Didhams were involved in the finishes of all but one race. A. E. Didham also trains Underwood Lass, runner-up to Sandbank in the Wainui Improvers’ High-weight, and another of his sons, A. N. Didham, saddled Resolute to finish second to Hadlow in the Nightmarch Stakes,
and Polar, which finished third to Baron s Lady and Danny Kaye in the Gladstone Improvers’ Handicap.
