BLENHEIM TROTS

VIKOTA’S OJP SUCCESS LEO BERKETT HAS GOOD DAY ' Special to THE SUN The Nelson trainer-driver Leo Berkett, had a field day at the Marlborough Trotting Club’s fixture, when he captured four events. The Cup provided a good contest, the notable feature being the defeat of the favourite, Liglitwood. Vikota, who was at a fine price, won well, registering 4.38 ’3-5 from a 4.46 mark. Dan Roco landed a double, and Greythorp© was successful in the saddle heat. Ockley Wood, who raced consistently at Ashhurst and Hastings, captured the mile and a-half trot, while the two mile square-gaited event was won by Balayah, driven by the veteran, M. Maher.
