Another One Over All for Myrniong duo

By Tim O’Connor (HRV)

The burgeoning Victorian trotting ranks look to have another top end player with One Over All continuing to sparkle from the Jess Tubbs and Greg Sugars stable.

The New Zealand import produced a dominant front-running success in last week’s Mildura Trotters Cup and was in similar form with an all-the-way triumph in Saturday night’s Aldebaran Park Trot at Tabcorp Park Melton.

Sugars speared to the lead from barrier six and never looked in any trouble as the four-year-old cruised down to score by 6m over All Cashed Up (Anton Golino/Jason Lee), who snagged a spot behind the leader and trailed him throughout the journey.

“With more racing under his belt and if he learns to be quite adaptable and gets his head screwed on right, the way that he can run time quite comfortably, he will measure up with some pretty handy horses I think,” Sugars told TrotsVision.

Sugars said One Over All picked up a bug on his way over from New Zealand and the horse’s first Australian preparation never really got going.

He debuted on our shores with a sixth placing in the 2021 Victoria Trotters Derby and was then stood down following a poor performance at Melton in early November before being sent for a spell. He returned with a second placing at Hamilton in late March, then made a mistake at Bendigo in early April before breaking through at Maryborough a week later.

“Since he’s had a break and we’ve been able to build him up slowly, his manners are much better this time around and he’s still got all that lethal speed,” Sugars said.

“We are very happy with what he’s done his last three starts.”

The son of Angus Hall has now won eight races from 28 career outings.
