With The Band, a New Zealand-bred daughter of Changeover, is proving one of the 'finds' of the season at Albion Park. The harness racing five-year-old won twice at the Brisbane headquarters' track recently and has emerged successful on eleven occasions this season.
Our Friend and Notorious, a pair of NZ bred geldings by Changeover, were winners at Albion Park last week. The former hoisted a new lifetime mark of 1:53 scoring by 15 metres, while the latter recorded a career-best 1:55.3.
Other recent Australian winners by Changeover were Rakasinc NZ (1:57.8, Pinjarra) and Soho Beijing (1:59.8, Wagga).
In NZ, Changeover was represented by a 'new' winner in Reflectionsofmylife (Addington) and the Invercargill victors Dachy (1:58.8) and Deus Ex (1:59.5).
Changeover, who stands at Burwood Stud in Queensland's Darling Downs, has left 94 individual winners to date this season in Australia and NZ and progeny earnings of almost $1.7 million.
