ERNDALE’S SUCCESS BEAU LEON WINS AGAIN MILANION IN THE LAST Royevrus, in scoring narrowly from his stablemate, Our Jean, provided the highlight of yesterday’s programme at Avondale, when unpleasant weather conditions early in the day improved later and resulted in totalisator investments showing a marked increase on last year’s figures.
