The First Trifecta: Wednesday, 13th April, 1977

It has been a delightfully still, sunny day.

The N.S.W. T.A.B. has held its first betting on a trifecta. It was conducted on a race on this afternoon’s card at Randwick. For every unit of one dollar, placed on the combination in the correct finishing order, one receives $277.50. “Dalrello”, a visitor from Queensland, was placed first, “Manawapoi”, second, and “Oranmore”, a visitor from New Zealand, third.

“The Andy Williams’ Show”, hosted by the crooner, Andy Williams, is on television, this evening, from eight o’clock. From half past the hour, on ABC-TV, an army of mercenaries gets out of hand in the British series, “The New Avengers”. It is a sequel to “The Avengers”, which was produced in the 1960s, and again stars Patrick Macnee as John Steed. Gareth Hunt is cast as Mike Gambit, and Joanna Lumley as Purdey.
