A huge night for TeamVic with Cruz Bromac, San Carlo, My Kiwi Mate and Sicario all advancing to the Inter Dominion Pacing Championship, the $500,000 Grand Circuit feature at Auckland’s Alexander Park on December 14.
And to make the celebrations all the greater, Victorian trotter Big Jack Hammer did enough to book himself a berth in the $150,000 final for trainer David Aiken, reinsman Luke McCarthy and owner Dom Martello.
Sicario was enormous tonight in running fourth for trainer Brent Lilley and his proud group of owners, while San Carlo again did plenty of work to earn every point for co-trainers Stephen O’Donoghue and Rebecca Bartley, and finally My Kiwi Mate was the last qualifier to claw in to the final with a determined final burst.
Qualification is a huge result for the teams and their connections who have invested so much to chase success and now they are only one race away, albeit with a mighty throng of Kiwis between them and the crown.
