Locals score cup winnings

There was a huge wrap on Sicario when he made his Australian debut in the Central Victorian Pacing Championship on January 31 but he was slightly disappointing when finishing sixth to Little Peanut.

But with 10 wins and six placings in his 23 starts in New Zealand he couldn’t be ignored by punters for his South Australian errand and he was sent out the $2.60 favourite in the Group 2 event.

Another former New Zealander, Mclovin, took the South Australian Trotters Cup in his Australian debut for the Victorian combination of Andy and Kate Gath while the other feature, the South Australian Pacers Derby was called a no race after a horrific fall in which local drivers Danielle Hill and Paul Cavallaro both sustained serious injuries.
