Champion New Zealand reinsman Blair Orange is set to play travel pause bingo over the next few weeks so he can partner Krug in the historic first running of Australia’s newest race.
That could mean a two weeks stay or even longer in Queensland and the chance to double or triple his meagre number of Australian winners.
Orange will win the New Zealand driver’s premiership for the fourth straight season on July 31 as he sits 40 wins clear of John Dunn at the head of the table, so can head to Australia without having to jeopardise that title.
