N.Z. trotters scratched
In the absence of the New Zealand trotters, Tyron Scottie and Yankee Loch, the top Australian squaregaiter, True Roman, was untroubled to score an easy win in the Cochrane Cup at Moonee Valley on Saturday evening.
True Roman led throughout to win untested from Fair Tally and the New Zealandbred Suave Guy (Smooth Felia—Delpelo). The flight carrying the four New Zealand trotters (Tyron Scottie, Yankee Loch, Pitcher and Troppo) to Melbourne on Saturday did not leave Christchurch until 6.30 p.m., forcing Tyron Scottie and Yankee Loch to be scratched from Saturday night’s Cochrane Cup. Pitcher and Troppo will contest a $lO,OOO event at Moonee Valley this evening.
