Random Chance causing concern
PA Dunedin Random Chance put plenty of dash in his work at Wingatui yesterday, but he is still causing trainer Brian Anderton concern. The worry is over a boil on the entire’s wither and the irritation it may cause him in the Timaru Cup on Saturday. Anderton is loath to jeopardise the chance of Random Chance being fit for rich metric mile races at the Wellington Racing Club’s Cup meeting next month. Random Chance was restricted to working on the lead behind a tractor for a fortnight until last Friday. He won at his last start at Beaumont on December 6. Random Chance had lightweight Chris Bain up yesterday and plenty of padding under his saddle to -prevent aggravation.
He ran 1200 metres on the sand in 1:19.4, the last 1000 in 1:04 and final 600 in a smart 37.2.
Baliway and Highland Peer ran 1200 metres on the plough in 1:14.6, the last 800 in 49.3, and 600 in 37.5.
