The former New Zealand champion Changeover, who stands at Burwood Stud on Queensland's Darling Downs, has sired the winners of $14,580,528 including a record $2,525,442 in the closing harness racing season.
Changeover produced winners in Victoria, New Zealand and North America over the Christmas-New Year holiday period.
Heading was the vanguard was talented three-year-old The Mustang, who took out the $25,000 Vicbred Super Series Silver Pace at Bendigo in a career best 1:56.5. It was the gelding's 10th win for the season and 12th lifetime and sent his stake tally beyond the $75,000 mark.
Change The Print, a NZ bred gelding, made it seven wins from 12 starts this term when he scored in a scintillating 1:53.2 at Ballarat's Boxing Day meeting.
In New Zealand, Changeover was represented by three 'new' winners in Dennis Denuto, a winner by eight lengths at Reefton, Not Over (Motukarara) and Changeover Jo (Westport) and the repeat winners Franco Huntington (Winton) and I'm Trouble (Gore).
While, in America, Darkershadeofpale NZ, scored again in 1:53 at Harrah's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
