SUCCESS OF YOUNG TRAINER N. J. DWYER HAS THREE WINS (Special to The Times) CHRISTCHURCH, December 2. A feature of the Kurow Jockey Club’s annual race meeting held on the Oamaru racecourse today was the success of the young Oamaru trainer N. J. Dwyer, who for the first time had his name in a race book as a trainer. He was recently granted a licence because his employer, J. Ross, with whom he has been associated since he left school, has been ill for the past two months. He is now recovering and was able to view the racing from a motor-car. The first horse to be saddled up by Dwyer was Sir Hugh, who won the opening event, and Dwyer carried on with successes by Thermidor _ and Miltiades, thus having three wins in his first race day experiences as trainer..
