Greyhounds
Fog traps dogs
A thick blanket of fog and a lure malfunction created prob-
lems at the Christchurch Greyhound Racing Club's meeting at Queen Elizabeth II Park on Monday evening. With most of the journey covered in the class one 560 m event the mechanical lure ground to a halt. The' problem was soon rectified and the re-run was taken out decisively by Bonny Pardon (No Pardons— Solitaire), which railed; stylishly to establish a winning. break on the field before the home turn. Sweet and Silent and Silent Orpheus both finished resolutely to occupy the minor places. Worthy Ace, a litter-mate of Bonny Pardon, was rather slow to clear the boxes in the. class one 330 m but unleashed a powerful late burst to just beat Sea Kiwi and Tammingo. The winner’s time of 20.67 s repre- • sented a very useful gallop. . Ima Lona easily won the maiden 560 m . event while Bishop’s Pardon (No PardonsBishopdale Lass) had little trouble accounting for his rivals in the maiden sprint.
