MASTER LAVROS TO TRIAL NEXT WEEK
Overport Lodge trainer Mark Jones confirmed top trotter Master Lavros will trial next week before kicking off his 6YO racing season at Addington on October 3.
Master Lavros made a return at the Rangiora workouts on Wednesday, September 17, but wasn’t pushed after losing ground early.
“He missed away bad being so fresh,” Mark said.
“But I was very happy with afterwards.”
Master Lavros wasn’t asked for a serious run in the C1 and faster trot taken out by fellow 40m marker Phil’s Gift, who trotted the 2600m (stand) in 3:26.6 for driver Stevie Golding.
Phil’s Gift, now seven, last raced in March.
He was recording his second Rangiora workout win in this preparation for Woodend trainers Greg and Nina Hope.
