The SEN Track Inter Dominion officially launched yesterday so it’s the ideal time to rate my top chances in both the pacing and trotting divisions.
While the quality may not be elite in either division, I cannot recall a time when there were so many queries and so much uncertainty about who will win both finals.
Normally there’s at least one standout.
Sure, the best version of Bolt For Brilliance would have the trotting series at his mercy, but he’s no sure thing to even come to Victoria, let alone win it.
Champion horseman Tony Herlihy is racing time to resurrect the young trotting star after “gunk in his lungs” prematurely ended his NZ Cup Week raid, and hopes of winning the Group 1 Dominion Trot.
And the pacing series … well, where do you start? Who should even be favourite?
Here’s my thoughts in an SEN Track Inter Dominion where both the pacing and trotting series’ promise to evolve significantly as we move through the three rounds of heats and finals.
