Greyhounds Merely Magic wins easily

Merely Magic returned to form with an effortless sevenlength win in the Bunny Lodge Stakes, at the Christchurch Greyhound Racing Club’s on-course totalisator meeting at Queen Elizabeth II Park last evening. The Ron Blackburn-trained brindle shot to the lead as the boxes opened and had a handy lead on his rivals throughout. On The Nose ran on well for second placing and Bouncy Boy shaded Stress for third. Results.— WELCOME STAKES $150; C2; 330 m 1-1 GENUINE HONEY 1 (H. E. R.
