Tiva sold
Special correspondent Invercargill Tiva, the winner of nine races and 24 placings for $30,775, has been sold by his Invercargill owner, Ernie Thomson to the Te Aroha trainer, Peter Wilson. The rising eight-year-old Bellborough gelding had his last race for Mr Thomson in the Tally Ho Handicap at Wingatui last Tuesday, being closest at the finish for seventh. Tiva has been left in the care of the Riverton trainer. Bill Hillis for the next few weeks and will be taken to Christchurch by Hillis for the Grand National Meeting, where Wilson who will be campaigning horses at the meeting, will take charge of him.
Wilson has raced the useful steeplechaser High Chief in recent seasons and won this year’s MacGregor Grant Steeplechase with Fancy Edition. It is believed that Wilson will race Tiva as a jumper. Tiva has been one of Southland’s more prominent winter gallopers for the Invercargill trainer Michael Skerreit but has not raced as a jumper to date.
