Captain Clive sold to New York

Captain Clive, the winner of five races for his Woodend trainer, Tremor Thompson, who races him in partnership with Mr Geoff Mansfield, has changed hands and will do his racing from the New York stables of Cliff Boyd. A four-year-old by Card Shark from Piracy, Captain Clive will contest the New Zealand Motor Corporation Handicap at Motukarara on Saturday. Armbro Rhythm, Fun Fair, Harmony Tuft, which was successful at Rangiora last Saturday, Port Ligar and Hunter Hanover have also changed hands and they will race in California. All of those sales were negotiated by Parramatta Livestock (N.Z.) Ltd. The horses will travel to the United States on January' 9. Bryden, a two-year-old

colt by Lumber Dream from Beedeecee, has been purchased by a patron of Merv Adams’s Sydney team. Bryden, formerly owned and trained at Makikihi by Clem Scott, created a big impression when he finished fourth in the N.Z. Spring Time Stakes at Addington on November 18. Toast Master, a colt by Fantastic from a Lumber Dream mare, has been sold to a Perth buyer.

Those two sales were negotiated by the West Melton trainer, Kevin Ryder, who has sent the promisirg three-year-old filly, Tiger Maid, to be trained in Perth by Jack Retzlaff. Ryder also negotiated the sales of Harbour Hanover and Bird of Paradise to American owners. Both horses have already left New Zealand.
