Grey Way attempting 49th win today

By

J. J. BOYLE

The nine-vear-old, Grey Wav, and his youthful close relation, Aegean Sea, 3n be high on the short list of fancies for the Kantpoi Handicap second leS of the North Canterbury Jockey Clubs T.A.B. double tod

Grey Way goes after his' 49th win today, and there; will be no more popular | winner with patrons on thei course where Mr Peter, South’s great winner made a successful race debut in October, 1972. Colleen Shirley will be able to claim 3kg for Grey Way today, bringing his weight down to 57.5. i Equally important is the j likelihood of a firm track after a warm, sunny day I yesterday. . Grey Way is probably bet- j ter at 1400 m than at 1200 m j these days, but he should; take best advantage of the position if as expected they crack it on in front early. Aegean Sea could have a role to play up front. and| from her place down in the, weights she should keep the best of the others busy. Her Greatest seldoni fails to make an impression on foravs out of South Otago on Canterbury courses, and she will be a popular fancy for the Rangiora Handicap, first leg of the T.A.B. double and second leg of the T.A.B. treble. . , , She won the Amberley Cup on this course last May, and her most recent campaign in February produced a double at the Canterbury Jockey Club’s summer meeting. Other T.A.B. treble races are the Amberley and Oxford Handicaps. , . The Ashburton • trainer, Jim Lalor, has scratched Bold Count from the Amber- • ley Handicap but is left with a form runner in Saba Ribbon. The combined efforts of Pennianne.. Another Story, •Swift Leigh, Actress, and iKarozshah should have a big ■bearing on the result of the 'Oxford Handicap, Actress will be ridden by fthe talented Diane Moseley, iwho improved her good record at Awapuni on Saturday, :. ' .

Scratched: Timax (18), Chares <2>, Maybe Foxy (111, La llfiue (161, William John (14), Azirae (17), Jovon (3).

Karen weds Karen Coleman will continue her race-riding career at the North Canterbury meeting today with a new name and status. She was married on Saturday to the Riccarton trainer-jockey, Maurice Thornley.
