Apr 20, 2019

Avenel trained trotter Popcorn Sutton is a talented trotter — with a few tricks that might get in the way from time to time.

But when the David Aiken prepared four-year-old puts it all together — like he did at the Shepparton trots meeting last week — he can make his presence felt.

With a flawless front-running display of trotting on this occasion with Kima Frenning in the sulky he was just too good for his rivals.

Popcorn Sutton, who is by the French sire Sam Bourbon out of the Armbro Invasion mare Classic Invasion, broke a run of 10 winless starts with his victory, his second in 17 trips to the races.

Frenning also landed another winner at last Saturday night’s Melton meeting, winning a MO class race with former Tasmanian pacer No Apachemee.

It’s not the first time Frenning has won on No Apachemee, now being trained in Victoria by Allan McDonough.

Frenning drove the pacer in his first Victorian start when trained by leading Tasmanian horseman Ben Yole.

In that run the nine-year-old gave a dashing front running display which he also repeated to run his rivals ragged in his latest win.
