**New Zealand Cup Stage Set for Graduates —————————————————-
Superstar pacers Merlin(NZ) (Art Major) and Don’t Stop Dreaming(NZ) (Bettor’s Delight) head New Zealand’s hopes in the $1,000,000 Group One New Zealand Cup (3200m) at Addington on Tuesday.
The NZB Standardbred graduates will renew their longstanding rivalry and attempt to keep the New Zealand Cup in its homeland after it headed to Australia in 2023.
The powerful pairing are among a stellar line up of New Zealand Cup talent that has passed through the NZB Standardbred sales ring before going on to racetrack stardom.
New Zealand-breds competing in the iconic event be out to hold out the defending champion, Australian raider Swayzee(AUS) (Bettor’s Delight).
If the Australian is to defend his crown, he must defeat two of New Zealand’s brightest stars in Merlin and Don’t Stop Dreaming.
Merlin comes into the New Zealand Cup after edging out Don’t Stop Dreaming to win the New Zealand Cup’s most noted lead up event, the Group Two Ashburton Flying Stakes (2400m).
The pacer will test his mettle at 3200m for the first time on Tuesday and it is a challenge trainers Barry Purdon and Scott Phelan think he is right up for.
“It is going to be a strongly run race the whole way and he is going to need to be on his game,” Phelan said.
“But we are pretty sure he will be.”
Republican Partyis another genuine threat among the star-studded line up of NZB Standardbred graduates to start in the New Zealand Cup.
Mo’unga(NZ) (Bettor’s Delight) stamped himself as a New Zealand Cup force with his big win in last week’s Group Two Kaikoura Cup (2400m).
Trainer Regan Todd has plenty to look forward to given he trains and part owns the brilliant pacer.
