He goes into the second day of the contest at Kumara today with 13 points. The Orari trainer, Ray Pankhurst, is at present in third place, with 11 points, one more than Riccarton’s Helen Preston and two
more than the Tuahiwi training partners, Barbara and Ray Harris. The competition will continue at the Westland Racing Club’s meeting at Hokitika on Monday and will also take in the Greymouth Jockey Club’s two-day meeting at Omoto next Friday and the, following Tuesday. The winning trainer will receive a cash prize of $750 and the runner-up will receive *250.
