If Bad To The Bone can secure an unusual role he could find himself in an unusual place at Alexandra Park tonight: the winner’s circle.
The rugged four-year-old pacer comes up against the North Island’s best pacer Copy That in the $25,000 Kerry Hoggard Memorial, the final northern lead-up to next month’s IRT New Zealand Cup at Addington.
Copy That has beaten Bad To The Bone almost every time they have met but tonight the favourite faces a 30m backmark and is giving Bad To The Bone a 10m start, which may not sound like much over 2700m but could translate into valuable field position.
