A training track that initially terrified New Zealand trainer Cran Dalgety has helped prepare his superstar three-year-old Krug for a most unusual Australian debut tomorrow night.
The dual Derby winner starts his Queensland campaign in the $21,300 Redcliffe Derby on the near triangle-shaped track, which is the state’s second main harness racing venue.
New Zealand horses, but particularly those trained in the South Island, are more used to the big sweeping tracks like Addington and Ashburton and even the 1000m circuits in the north, Alexandra Park and Cambridge, have good transition in and out of the bends as well as excellent camber.
