Canterbury Park hurdle race odds and field report
A Canterbury Park meeting featured wide odds for several hurdle events with strong favourites and close finishes. Co wool and Niram faced mishaps. St Leonard and Passion led in different races while High Lady dominated the Welter Handicap. The piece also criticizes Leger reserve charges and gate fees as excessive.
Pasadena Beats Sunday in Park Stakes at Wollongong
Pasadena, ridden by Grey minus a stirrup, upset a red hot favorite to win the Park Stakes at Wollongong on Saturday. Sunday, with a stronger rider, would have challenged but for lack of kick. Wallassov led most of the way, finishing just behind the place horses, while ODotonste troubled by early fractious behavior ended well back.
