BLAST FROM THE PAST

1953 NZ TROTTING STAKES - Won by Battle Cry

1953 NZ TROTTING STAKES

The Light Brigade three-year-old Battle Cry photographed after his Trotting Stakes 'walkover' with his owner, Mr O E Baxter, and trainer-driver C R Berkett. By absolutely outclassing the New Zealand Trotting Stakes field on the second day of Addington's Easter carnival, Battle Cry showed his supremacy over the season's three-year-olds. He coasted home seven lengths clear of Flammula.

This marked Battle Cry's sixth win in nine starts. Besides this he has gained two placings - a wonderful record. He is notable in that he can handle any going - the hallmark of a real champion.
