Torrip Gold fancied

By

JEFF SCOTT

The Colin de Filippitrained and driven, Torrip Gold, might come out on top of a weak field to contest the Greymouth Operatic Society Handicap Pace, the first leg of the T.A.B. double, at the Greymouth Trotting Club’s meeting this evening.

A close relative of the fine American winner, First Mate (1:54.8), Torrip Gold battled on for sixth behind Major Bromac in last week’s C2 sprint at

Motukarara and should again be well served in the running from a handy draw on Monday. Oh Douglas, a useful winner at Motukarara, and CrackeraSh, a solid finisher for third to Shipmate and Floyd, are others likely to be well supported, while Saryan, Timely Rule and Kotare Pewter, are upset chances.

Badon is likely to be a short-priced favourite in the second leg of the

• T.A.B. double, the Half a Sixpence Handicap Pace, on the strength of his fastfinishing second at Addington earlier this month. A member of Peter Jones’s in-form Templeton stable, Badon just failed to catch Abracadabra at the end of a 2000 m sprint and would only need to show the same dash on Monday to win this. Micro Mary and Prestwick are likely to be his main dangers.
