No, but generally haven't taken many to the coast for sometime, back in the day would supply a number of horses for the entire circuit, which used to have 2 days in November as well as a meeting or two after xmas.

Has a few young ones in at reefton tomorrow, kumara noms out today, guess with three meets in a week, one club will miss out, light numbers for reefton, a struggle to find a roughie.

Parson's found an edge a long time ago and has stuck with the formula.

A stalwart of southern racing whose horses always look good and are/were never without a chance.

South Island racing clubs are indebted to J. Parsons.
