Scotch Notch still coming
The prospects of Scotch Notch competing at the New Zealand Cup meeting, which opens at Addington Raceway next Tuesday, are still reasonably good. The champion Australian trotting mare drove a thorn into the frog of a hoof on Monday. Even after the offending thorn was removed she was sore. Fortunately no infection set in and her trainer, Graeme Lang, has advised the Metropolitan Trotting Club that unless there is a deterioration in her condition overnight, she will travel to Christchurch today. Scotch Notch has had 28
wins and 10 placings for $158,021 in stakes and most think she is the equal of if not superior to Maori’s Idol, which was considered the greatest trotter bred in Australia in modem times. There are no problems associated with Willadios and Steel Jaw, the New South Wales horses down to compete in the New Zealand Cup on Tuesday. Willadios has had 31 wins and 16 placings for $159,701 in stakes, while Steel Jaw, the pacing find of the last six months in Sydney, has had 15 wins and four placings for $50,625.
