S.I. team to be strengthened
Bell Flight and Big Skipper flew the fi&g bravely for c ,i, r south isiana on n wins in Australia on Saturday. They are to be joined across the Tasman this week by another in-form South Islander, Ambrose Lodge. The Dunedin-owned, Washdyke-
trained St Ambrose II geldflown out of Christchurch today and will run j n Australian Grand National Hurdles next week. In the meantime the Washdyke trainer, Barry Jones, will probably start him in a $12,000 race at Moonee Valley next Saturday.
_ Ambrose Lodge, which has 59kg in the Australian Grand National, carried 66.5 into third in the Trilford Hurdles on his home track on Saturday. If he had jumped more cleanly close to home he might have beaten both King Muffin and Captain Scott. Jones hopes to engage the
Riccarton jockey, Owen Anning, for Ambrose Lodge in hurdle races in Melbourne, Aiming rode Mexicano for Jones in jumping races in Melbourne in the spring of 1976, and returned there last month to continue his partnership with the Dunedinowned Young Command in ’chasing events.
