School and racehorses a perfect fit for Tristan LarsenJamie Searle/Stuff Tristan Larsen holds last-start winner Melina Lowe. Fourteen-year-old Tristan Larsen gets up bright and early to drive a horse in training before heading off to Southland Boys' High School. Tristan goes to bed at 7.30pm on school nights and is up at 6.30am to drive a horse in speed training. Melina Lowe (race eight) and her half-brother, Arthur Lowe (race nine), have won and been placed at Addington or Forbury Park meetings through the winter. "They're fit and good enough to get money," Kirk Larsen said.
