NZHarnessNews

By Michael Guerin Lady Luck and star juvenile filly Kiss seem to have gone their separate ways in the second half of 2023. The Barry Purdon and Scott Phelan-trained filly has looked maybe the best young female pacer in the country with two wins and two huge placings in her four starts but she has come up with the outside of the front line in the $110,000 Caduceus Club Classic at Alexandra Park on Friday night.
