Just Believe & Greg Sugars - Dominion Trot NZ Win 2024 Photo by HRNZ
EVERYTHING says the "Harry" show will roll-on at Addington tomorrow.
Still buzzing after winning Tuesday's $NZ400,000 Group 1 Dominion Trot, driver and co-trainer Greg Sugars said Just Believe would be at least as good when he backs up.
"He's come through Tuesday amazingly well, but his resilience and recovery is one of his greatest strengths," he said.
"When he's backed up in the past, he thrives on it. Look at those past two Inter Dominions."
"And he did it easily on Tuesday. It wasn't a hard run for him."
"You'd look at him an hour or so after the race and wouldn't know he'd gone around."
Just Believe is chasing his 11th Group 1 win and his 6th win from as many starts in NZ on Friday.
The rising nine-year-old will then return home to chase more history as the first trotter to win three Inter Dominion finals.
Just Believe has gone through the past two Inter Dominions – Melbourne and Brisbane – unbeaten in the heats and finals.
He is a dominant favourite to do the same in the NSW series, which starts at Newcastle on November 29.
The final is at Menangle on December 14.
