Basil Dean at work-outs

Ashburton reporter

Basil Dean made a longawaited appearance at the Ashburton trotting work-outs yesterday after an injuryenforced spell. He trotted evenly throughout the 2400 m for Kerry O’Reilly and finished on just enough to head Our Tammy short of the line. The time of 3min 15s was nothing outstanding, but it was probably a much-needed workout.

Conditions were ideal and there were good fields in most events, in spite of three nights trotting involving Ashburton horses this week. Results, all 2400 m:

Unqualified trot (three starters): Broadwater View, L. M. Bebbington, 1, Armadale Cloud, C. Markham, 2, Earl
