Anthony Crossland has had redemption on his mind for the past 12 months.
Ever since his top squaregaiter Rules Dont Apply lost all winning hope by galloping in the Vicbred Super Series 3YO Trotting Colts and Geldings Final last December, a return to the New Year’s Eve spotlight has been firmly on the Eppalock horseman’s radar.
The son of Muscle Hill broke shortly before the last lap, but got back down and made up many lengths to place sixth, beaten less than 30m by winner Is That A Bid.
While it was an enormous performance in defeat, it has been hard for Crossland to shake the thoughts of what might have been.
But fast forward to 2021 and the 44-year-old trainer-driver has another chance at VSS Group 1 glory.
