Racing: Late fee shock

The owners of Tuherbs intend to pay the $9000 late entry fee for the Sires' Stakes series although it came as a shock to find out that was necessary to make him eligible.

Tuherbs won the $50,000 New Zealand Welcome Stakes at Addington last Friday in his first start. The owners were told this week the supplementary payment would be required for Tuherbs to start.

Three heats remain and the $150,000 final is at Addington on May 20.
