PALMERSTON NORTH. Laramie showed that his Laststart lapse at Wanganui may have been a temporary failure when he trounced Torere in a fine mile trial in the wet at Awapuni yesterday. Laramie is engaged in the Booths Gtn Winter Handicap on the second day of the Manawatu Racing Club s meeting on Saturday. The inside trial was soaked by heavy overnight rain and most of the work took place in steady rain. Laramie ran his mile in imin 45sec. I E Temperton schooled most of his jumpers. Almost without exception they jumped well in the conditions. He a strong hand in the Awapuni Hurdles with Saturnian, Grand Coeur and Kamina. and Copper Fair (Manawatu Steeplechase), and Royal Admiral (Hack Hurdles) give him strong claims in the other jumping races.
