Double worth $51.75
• Dancer Boy, from Omoto, [ and the Fairview-trained [O’Rafferty combined successfully in a course double worth $51.75 for $1 at Rangiora yesterday. Dancer Boy, which carries the colour of a four-sided West Coast partnership, began his five-year-old racing with an all-the-way win in the first division of the Loburn Maiden. In doing so he gave the 18-year-old Omoto-based apprentice, Angela Mclvor, her first winning ride. Dancer Boy coasted home by four lengths from the Reefton-trained longshot Oldtimer, one of the tailenders 800 m out. O’Rafferty, in the hands of Riccarton’s Murray McPhie, took up the chase after the pacemaker, Gerome, on the home turn in the second division and gradually wore down the favourite in the run home to win by half a neck. Gerome’s double backers received a concession dividend of $17.15.
