CLICK HERE TO GO BACK YEAR: 1963Mr J H WINTER
The death occurred in Christchurch of the Springston trainer, Mr J Winter, who spent much of his life in Southland.
Mr Winter was represented at Rangiora recently by his own horse, Anterior, who won the Hurunui Handicap. Anterior was trained in partnership with his son, J H Winter, jnr.
Mr Winter trained many winners when he was in Southland, probably the best of them being Stirling Castle, who later sired a number of winners. Mr Winter shifted to Springston several years ago and he produced a number of winners from a comparatively small team. Among the other useful winners he produced were Bonnie Castle, who won a NZ Oaks, Recent Choice and Super Nurse (both of which graduated to tight marks), Dark Wonder and Atlanta.
