Jump to roof goals Victoria Cup release

Champion Pacer jumps to fame (Bettor’s pleasure) will seek exchange in the only big Aussie harnas that avoids him.

Trainer-Driver Grant Dixon today confirmed that the Dual Inter Dominion winner would go to the south for the $ 250,000 Group 1 Victoria Cup-Cox plate of Harness Racing-op Melton on October 18.

Spring to Fame, the richest Pacer of Australasia of all time with more than $ 4.63 million and 56 victories from 69 Starts, has pursued the Victoria Cup twice without success.

In 2023 he became third as a commander’s favorite, then he returned last year, but only fell ill a few days before the race and was scratched.

Connections were originally planning to bypass the race this year to concentrate on the $ NZ1MIL NZ Cup in Christchurch on November 11.

“If we sat down to work it all out, the timing fits and it guarantees us a bit strong racing before NZ where he should absolutely be ready,” said owner Kevin Seymour.

Dixon said that Borg was the key around a return flight from Brisbane to Melbourne.

“It looks really good and that makes or breaks the Victoria Cup as an option,” he said. “We would go home the Thursday, nine days before the race and go home a day or so.

“We build as if that is the plan. He is working strongly again, it seems great and because he only had a short break, one run -up race should be sufficient.

“We would like to start him here two weeks before the Victoria Cup (Albion Park).”

Spring to Fame has not raced since the Brisbane Inter Dominion series completely dominates, including the $ 1 million Grand Final on July 19.

It was the second time in three years jump to Roem has completed an Inter Dominion series unbeaten.

Confirmation The Victoria Cup is a target that still sets a long -awaited collision between the two best pacers of Australasia, half -brothers jump to fame and Swayzee.

Swayzee won the Victoria Cup in Leap to Fame’s absence last year and then the leap stuck to fame when they were the last to collided in Victoria in the Group 1 Hunter Cup on 1 February.

Spring to Fame has a 4-2 advantage in their six collisions and they will probably also collide in the NZ Cup, a Race Swayzee has won the past two years.

Dixon said that Leap to Fame’s NZ-Inval would be a “hit-and-run” trip of one race.

“He will not have a start -up race there, it would mean it is a month away,” he said.

“We can fly in a week or so, possibly, possibly around in the ‘Cup Trial’ in Addington, and then in the cup itself.

“We would like him before we went to NZ, which is another reason that a strong race like the Victoria Cup is attractive.”

Swayzee, who has won 30 of his 67 starts and more than $ 2.2 million, has not been raced since fourth place in the $ 1 million group 1 Nullarbor in Gloucester Park on 25 April.

He bypassed the Brisbane Inter Dominion to have a long period, but is back in serious work for trainer Jason Grimson with the Victoria and NZ Cups his most important goals.
