MY MAN DAN AMONG NZ CUP NOMS
Quality and depth are the two shining characteristics of the nominations for the 2010 Christchurch Casino NZ Trotting Cup to be run at Addington on November 9.
Though the club has received 32 nominations this year.
Among the marquee nominations are last year’s winner Monkey King, the only other horse guaranteed a Cup start at this point, Stunin Cullen, and a raft of internationally performed pacers including Bettor’s Strike, Bondy, Kiwi Ingenuity, Power Of Tara and Tintin In America.
Australians are staging another assault on the great race too. Smoken Up is back for his shot at redemption after his fine third in 2009, while Karloo Mick and a rejuvenated Mr Feelgood complete the Australian contingent.
Fixed Odds for the Christchurch Casino NZ Trotting Cup will be released at 10.00am on Thursday, September 30.
Burnham trainer Mark Jones has fast stand start beginner My Man Dan among the noms for the cup after his improving workout run behind Kiwi Ingenuity at Rangiora last Saturday.
