New Zealand’s best three-year-old pacer Krug returns home today but he may not be there for long and that is great news for the late-season Victorian classics.
The three-time Derby winner returns to trainer Cran Dalgety’s stables outside Christchurch after a tough campaign in Queensland to end an enormously successful three-year-old season, in which he won the Woodlands Northern and NZ Derbys at home and was at times rated the next big thing in the code.
But oddly while Krug’s three-year-old season should be over, he remains that age until January 1 as Harness Racing New Zealand has moved the date horses now change age.
