Two more horses, a southern trotter and a northern pacer, have been confirmed for the $500,000 slot races on Addington Raceway’s Show Day Twilight races on Friday, November 15.
After a brilliant win at Ashburton on Monday, Bring On The Muscle has been confirmed as being Tumby Park’s representative in the Majestic Horse Floats LP THE ASCENT while the Barry Purdon and Scott Phelan-trained Better Knuckle Up will replace stablemate Cold Chisel in the Hill Lee and Scott THE VELOCITY for slot-holder Montana Park P/L.
Tumby Park is the racing and breeding business run by Scott Whitby near Tweed Heads just on the New South Wales side of the border with Queensland.
On Monday Bring On The Muscle looked no chance turning for home in the Group 3 Neumann’s Tyres Vipal Hambletonian 3YO Classic only to produce a storming finish to beat Empire City and Tyron Eros, who have already been confirmed in THE ASCENT. He has now won six from 16. Bred and raced by Jackie Barron, the Majestic Son gelding is trained by her husband Clark Barron.
Better Knuckle Up, a winner of five from 13, finished third in the Garrard’s Sires’ Stakes Sophomore Classic on Monday behind Dreams Are Free and Jeremiah.
He replaces stablemate Cold Chisel, the Northern Derby winner, who pulled up lame after Monday’s NZB Airfreight Flying Stakes.
