Among the other highlights last Saturday night at Tabcorp Park Melton, was the first-up performance from reigning Victorian three-year-old trotting colt or gelding of the year Aldebaran Zeus, who blitzed his rivals in the Woodlands Stud Trot.<\/p>\n
The Brent Lilley-trained multiple Group 1 winner sat parked throughout much of the 2240m trip, surged to the front at the home turn and thrashed a quality field of squaregaiters by over 4m.<\/p>\n
The result takes Aldebaran Zeus\u2019 career record to 10 wins from 25 starts, with prizemoney now up over $170,000.<\/p>\n

Joe Pace-trained Supreme Dominator won a thrilling edition of the TAB Our Maestro Free For All by a whisker over Torrid Saint, who flashed home from back in the field to just miss in a photo finish.<\/p>\n
The victory, for regular driver James Herbertson, continues the gelding\u2019s path towards the Inter Dominion Pacing Championships in Victoria later in the year and adds to a record that boasts 15 triumphs and more than $300,000 in earnings.<\/p>\n

Cook, 22, could barely wipe the smile off his face when chatting to the TrotsVision team of Rob Auber and Shannon O\u2019Sullivan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
