Ciaron Maher has bolstered his chances for The Supernova at Pakenham on December 21, with the Moonee Valley Racing Club confirming that Chorlton Lane will race in its slot in Southside Racing’s $1 million event.
Having already secured a place for Nadal, the winner of The Meteorite (1200m), in his own slot, Maher will now have two contenders in the inaugural 1400-metre race.
Chorlton Lane, a five-year-old son of Mehmas, has an impressive record over 1400 metres, with victories in three states, the latest being a win in the $200,000 Canberra Community Chest (1400m) on November 24.
“Chorlton Lane heads to Pakenham in terrific form,” said MVRC head of racing, Charlotte Mills.
“It’s exciting to partner with the Ciaron Maher stable, and a win would be a fantastic result for his large ownership group.
“The first leg of Southside Racing’s slot series, The Meteorite, was a resounding success, and we are looking forward to The Supernova on Cup Day at Pakenham.”
