**Meant To Be Unleashes Powerhouse Harness Million Performance —————————————————-
Meant To Be(NZ) (Father Patrick) didn’t need any favours to deliver a powerhouse victory in the $75,000 Listed NZB Standardbred Harness Million Two-Year-Old Trot (1980m) at Addington on Friday night.
The blueblood youngster never saw cover at any stage of the lucrative feature but it mattered little as his outstanding stamina carried him to a brilliant win for trainer Barry and Scott Phelan.
Higher Power(NZ) (Father Patrick) sealed a perfect result for both the Purdon-Phelan stable and Breckon Farms with his excellent second placing.
Meant To Be (NZ) was one of the highest-priced trotting yearling at the 2023 National Yearling Sale at Auckland, secured for $145,000 by his trainers when he was offered by breeder-vendors Breckon Farms.
“It’s great for the farm,” commented Ken Breckon.
“These are the kind of results you want for the pedigree page, and it gives buyers confidence heading to the sales.”
“He’s a big lovely type, looked like he had a good head on his shoulders, but he’s got so much more improvement in him to go,” commented Phelan.
“We searched long and hard for these two horses, and it’s paid off.”
Meant To Be is by leading trotting sire Father Patrick(USA) and is the first colt from the outstanding Group One winning mare Luby Lou(Muscle Hill).
