Good win to Arithmetic

By 808 SCHUMACHER ( After finishing second at his) four previous starts, Arithmetic, broke through for a deserved win in the final of the Tux Flying Stakes for class-eight' greyhounds at the Christchurch club’s totalistor meeting at Queen Elizabeth 11 Park last evening. At his last start almost two' months ago. Arithmetic finished a game but distant second to, his litter sister Lisa Havoc, in the New Zealand championship. Last evening the positions! were reversed, Lisa Havoc, thei dominating favourite, running aj splendid race but not being able; to overtake her brother. Arithmetic is owned b\ George! Tait and Jock Walsh,and trained! by Tait at Oxford. He was] paraded in magnificent order and raced accordingly. Walsh is the owner of Lisa Havoc. Both Arthimetic and Lisa Havoc will leaxe toda’ for Weli lington where the? will contest the heats of th? Wellington Cup. They should oualiiy comfortably. ' After the trip both dogs will I be prepared for the rich Auck-; 1 land Cup. th® final of which will! • be raced on February 1. ! Arithmetic, a powerful bnndlel j bv Sarkham from Saib’ Havoc.’ burst from box five and had! Noble Sirrender on his inner as i they reached the first bend. Lisa ; Havo • was wedged between! | them and w*»s knocked sideways. I losing valuable lengths. Nnbl? Surrender and Arithmetic matched st’-'des along the] 'bark straight. with Lisa Havoc 1 making ground quickly and' Signor Caruso at the bead of the others. Arithmetic took control enter ing the home straight and Lisa; Havoc, unable to find a gap on! ihe inside of Noble Surrender, 1 had to change course. By that

| time Arithmetic was clear and j lie went to the line almost four d lengths ahead of Lisa Havoc. Noble Surrender, second in the I race last year, ran a bold race for third place, with Sai khan Sal 1 making her customary belated i strong run for fourth. An outsider. Kerry Lobell. set' the punters off on the wrong. ] note with a decisive win in the; ' opening race for class-two long I tail:'. '] The Noble Ben bitch broke ] swiftlv from a middle trap a.ndj Jed throughout, winning almost] three lengths ahead of Diamondi ‘j Edge. The favourite. Silent] l | Ending. had his chance but could! •I not improve on third. J In a desperate! v close finish! j'ito the second race, the odds-on! J favourite. Profiteer, prevailed by] ] a nose from Johnny Wadderin.! > with a neck back to Solarcaine. It was a good run by the winner. . which was pocketed behind! Sola-caine approaching the home; j bend. . Two of fire lesser fancied' . runners. Pack Drill and Ben; I'Ouistador. cleared awav from -ithe’r rivals in the North Beach II Stakes for class two dogs. It •was a race, with the! ‘itwo favourites both in trouble in] .'the early running. ’i Ben Quistador made most of /the running but Pack Drill was ‘jalways close in attendance and] 1 the Noble Ben dog proved far' ■ stronger over the final 100 m. • J Accelerating brilliantly from | J box seven, Reefton Rastus out ] '■ran his seven rivals in the class] I it”, o sprint. Doone Spartan was] ' the only longtail to remain ini ,contact with the Silent Wonder! - dog. but he was still tv, n lengths !.behind at the finish, with the re-j ilmainder coming in at intervals. ; The Afghan-bound race over ; :3.10m proved to be a triumph:

I for Shah (owned by Mr and Mrs • M. Lelliott). It won convincingly from Kim (Mrs G. Anderson), > with Alfie a kennel-mate to the i winner, finishing third.
