BARGAINS AT SALE
Visitors to the eighth annual South Island Blood-; stock sale in Christchurch today will be well satisfied if [they can pick up a bargain I such as Mr R. Ross did in 1968. Mr Ross, from Papakura, I bought the unraced three-year-old filly Entrancing [ Belle for $l5OO — and so beIcame the owner of the dam |of Turfcutter and the star [Australian three-year-old iTaras Bulba. Mr Ross offered Turfcutter, as a yearling at the National iSales in 1971 and declined to! Ido business when bidding istopped at $l4OO. Entrancing Belle was cer-1 itainly one of the bargain buys 1 [of the sales. Another was Charger, purchased by the Awapuni trainer. Eric Temoerton, at the third South Island sale for clients of hisj ; stable. Several Australian visitors will be attending today’s sales and if — unlike last I year — vendors are prepared , Ito meet the market there; .could be some keen competi-i <tion. for the choice lots. )
