Rusty Boy chasing hat-trick of wins

Special correspondent Auckland The consistent Pukekohe three-year-old, Rusty Boy, should complete a hattrick of wins at Avondale this evening. Rusty Boy contests the 1400-metre Avis Rent-A-Car Intermediate, the first, leg of the T.A.B. double, at the Avondale Jockey Club’s meeting this evening. Since finishing fourth in his debut, Rusty Boy has never failed to pay a dividend, his nine other attempts having produced two wins, five seconds and two thirds. Always a speedy type, age has made him solid and there was plenty to admire about the way he won over 1400 metres at Ellerslie a fortnight ago. Rusty Boy is from the stable of Harvey Wadham, who is enjoying a good run — Pride of Armagh, Paganini and Ankorette are other recent winners in his team.

The hardest for Rusty Boy to beat should be Colleta, Royal Tam, Ivy Star and Mouskouri. Colleta is one of three horses at the meeting which have won under Avondale’s lights. Never Yield and Pawky, rivals in the Leighton Jumper’s flat, are the others. Another Pukekohe galloper, Fosfire, shows some promise at a middle-dis-tance and appeals in the second leg, the Masters Improvers, along with Stellar Gold, My Goodness Me and Red Cheval. The Avondale Jockey Club is looking at a $1 million course turnover, helped by the five-race jackpot with its opening pool of $128,931. The totalisator will open at 4.20 p.m., some three hours before the first jackpot race. If the jackpot is not won it will carry to the club’s next meeting, on June 27. Once the starting pool exceeds $150,000 the jackpot must be terminated.
