Trentham-bound Brutus is easy winner
Brutus, easy winner of the Lauriston Two-Year-Old Handicap at Ashburton yesterday, will be tried in more formidable company at Trentham on Saturday. The nuggety Balios colt from Ray Harris’s Tuahiwi stable will be taken north today with his stablemate, Greek Magic, to be campaigned at the Wellington autumn meeting. Greek Magic is engaged against Vice Rega], Grey Way and company in the
North Island Challenge Stakes, in which he will be ridden by Leslie Collins. Brutus was backed down to favouritism for yesterday’s race, and won running away by three lengths from Lumiere, which inched Royal Member away from second in the last few strides. Brutus was one of three runners for the Harris stable in the Lauriston Handicap. Tudor was first home of the others, finishing fourth, and Phillograph was fifth, but both were beaten off.
