With the Inter Dominion pacing series approaching, top driver Greg Sugars is adamant that the competition is not a two-horse race. Despite Leap To Fame and Swayzee being the frontrunners in the betting markets, Sugars believes that his horse, Better Eclipse, stands a strong chance of clinching victory in the final. Trained by his wife, Jess Tubbs, Better Eclipse has been in exceptional form, showcasing his capabilities in recent races.
While acknowledging the prowess of Swayzee and Leap To Fame, Sugars remains confident in Better Eclipse’s abilities. He points to the horse’s impressive performance at Bendigo as a testament to his current form and readiness for the upcoming series. Sugars emphasizes that Better Eclipse has the potential to triumph in any race with the right conditions and strategy.
Expressing his admiration for recent NZ Cup winner Swayzee, Sugars acknowledges the stiff competition but maintains that Better Eclipse is a serious contender. He highlights the horse’s past achievements, including a Group 1 victory at Albion Park, as indicators of his readiness for the Inter Dominion challenge.
Having tasted success with Just Believe in the trotting final last year, Sugars and Tubbs are eager to make their mark in the pacing division this time around. With Just Believe returning to defend his title and Better Eclipse aiming to improve on his previous performance, the duo is poised for a strong showing in the upcoming heats.
Despite the challenges of travel and a busy racing schedule, Sugars is confident in the preparation of his horses. Just Believe’s recent victory over Queen Elida at Melton has boosted Sugars’ confidence in the horse’s form and readiness for the series. With Just Believe drawing the pole position for the upcoming race, Sugars believes it sets a perfect tone for their campaign.
