The $322,000 Australian Pacing Gold Final for two year old fillies at the harness racing meeting at Melton tomorrow night has lost one of the main players today when My MacKenzie was scratched from the race.

The daughter of Rock N Roll Heaven from the former top racemare Kept For Pleasure was purchased out of the Sydney leg of last years Australian Pacing Gold sale for $82,000 and was sent to the All Star barn at Rolleston outside of Christchurch in New Zealand.

A star trialist in New Zealand before crossing the Tasman, My MacKenzie has gone really well in Australia without really living up to her huge private reputation.

Co-Trainer Mark Purdon was philosophical when contacted by Harnesslink this evening. 

"On Wednesday she rolled awkwardly which was probably the cause."

"We worked her yesterday but today she was a bit sore again so there was no way we could go on".
