Supreme cup win

By Michael Howard (HRV)

Supreme Dominator announced himself among the trots’ elite with a bold late strike to capture the Cranbourne Pacing Cup and gift his trainer and driver their richest wins.

Reinsman James Herbertson tagged on to Grand Circuit winning mare Amazing Dream’s back and then let down in the sprint to the line to capture the $75,000 Group 2 for trainer Joe Pace, celebrating with a hearty salute.

“He’s a lovely horse, he’s done a super job,” Herbertson told TrotsVision. “I think it was only six or seven starts back here he broke the track record in a country class race. To go as far as he has in such a short amount of time is a credit to the horse and a credit to Joe as well.”

For Pace, the victory far outshadows his previous high watermark – the $30,000 race wins by Rock N Roll Chapel and Diamond Party – while for 21-year-old Herbertson it also goes to the top of the pile, eclipsing his $50,000 Australasian Trotting Championship win with Savannah Jay Jay.

“Watching Gav (Lang) and Chris (Alford) battle it out every year in these sort of races, I always wanted to win country cups more than probably the main races really,” Herbertson said. “I’m living the dream at the moment, to be 21 and doing it – I never thought it would be happening this early if ever.”
