I wonder if he goes to NZ. Maybe Purdons? Ross Payne is working for Purdons now isnt he?

and the Peanuts at the helm are probably scratching their heads as to why no Kiwi's made the effort.

Victoria is a distant third in a 3 horse race and falling further behind.

50k is bad but they have put all their group 1 trotting money into March, with the 50k knight pistol, 100k trotting championship then the 300k great southern star with 50k heats the same night. So the kiwis will be over then.

Anyone have any thoughts on why?

They way things are going, every trainer will end up with a go before his career is over. Craig and Jodi do a good job with their team.

I've just been informed his owner is very challenging to train for. I'll leave it at that.

Craig has had a number of well bred young trotters race/trial for owner recently so not a surprise he got horse. Question will be how long he has them before someone else gets a go!

Thanks for all the informative replies Ben, Leigh and Nathan

The only person who'd really know why is the owner ... unless you can speak to him direct, your guess is as good as anyones

Not really, for instance I didn't know that Craig has had a number of well bred trotters race/trial for the owner lately
