00:00 Midnight Muscle's got to chase the gate, all the others up in their spots.
00:04 The locomotive at $1.90, the hot favourite.
00:08 Drawn in gate three for Nathan Jack.
00:10 Green lights up.
00:11 They're away and trotting.
00:13 Basilica was fast off, the gate gets across to the pigs, but looking for the front was
00:16 the locomotive and on the charge too was Prince of Rock out deep.
00:20 Prince of Rock has gone up alongside of the favourite, the locomotive.
00:24 Can't get by for the moment.
00:25 There's plenty of room to jump in behind, but Basilica's about 12 metres astern trying
00:29 to hold that spot.
00:30 Nathan Jack just making Prince of Rock work for it, but he'll get around.
00:34 Prince of Rock takes it up.
00:35 The locomotive takes the cover.
00:36 Basilica's third and racing in fourth spot is Stevie G.
00:40 So the favourites in the firing line, the top four spots going around the first turn.
00:46 Midnight Muscle's racing in fifth, followed up in turn by My Personal Jet.
00:50 A break back to Desainovici and at the tail end of the field, Keang Stuka.
00:55 It'd be around 50 off the leader who is rolling along at a good clip here.
00:58 38.2 the lead time.
00:59 Quick going and Prince of Rock after firing off the gate, he worked pretty hard to get
01:03 around and lead and he's broken the field up at the 1400 metre mark, setting a solid
01:08 speed.
01:09 He's leading a length.
01:10 The locomotive though travels up boldly in second spot.
01:13 The favourite, he's very keen up on the bridle and travelling sweetly, the fave.
01:17 Third Basilica with the drop on the two favourites.
01:20 Fourth is the baldy faced Stevie G. 30.8 first quarter, the final mile.
01:25 Basil files the formation, racing in fifth position.
01:28 Midnight Muscle followed up by My Personal Jet.
01:31 Desainovici and Keang Stuka are battling to keep up with this hot speed.
01:35 Past the bell, in the Harad de Troddeurs, Nutrien Equine Classic final for the three
01:39 year old trotting Colts and Geldings.
01:41 And in his favourite role, Prince of Rock is freewheeling it, adopting the catch me
01:45 if you can tactics.
01:47 Has the favourite breathing down its neck though in second spot, the locomotive.
01:50 He's having a dream run second up.
01:52 Basilica is camped right behind the two favourites.
01:55 Third also travelling sweetly.
01:57 Fourth Stevie G looking to pop the pegs and flush out some cover.
02:00 29.9 was that second quarter.
02:02 They're on track for a fast mile rate.
02:04 My Personal Jet peeling up around the outside of Midnight Muscle.
02:07 And a further break back in the field to Keang Stuka who's got past Desainovici.
02:11 They work their way to the end of the back straight.
02:13 And it's Prince of Rock looking to continue on his winning way.
02:16 But he's got the two year old trotter of the year from last season right on his trail in
02:20 second spot.
02:21 The locomotive, Basilica is about to ease to the outside to stake his claim in third.
02:26 They've got away from Stevie G.
02:27 28.6 the quarter down the back.
02:30 Prince of Rock leading the locomotive has moved up alongside boldly.
02:35 Prince of Rock the outside the locomotive.
02:37 Basilica broke under pressure.
02:39 Prince of Rock and the locomotive.
02:40 It's a ding dong tussle.
02:42 A survival of the fittest.
02:43 Prince of Rock is kicking on and it's all the way.
02:46 The Prince.
02:47 Prince of Rock has beaten the locomotive.
02:49 35 away. Stevie G's run third from my personal jet, Keang Stuka.
02:54 Well it's going to run a clear third.
02:55 Basilica when it broke in the lane and then came Midnight Muscle.
02:58 A break back to Desainovici who was the last one in.
03:01 The final quarter.
03:02 29.
03:03 A brilliant run.
03:04 1.57.1 the mile rate for Elderberry Park.
03:08 7 the winner.
03:10 Prince of Rock makes it four in a row and he continues his rapid rise through the grates.
03:19 He's a bold front runner.
03:20 He's got the weapons.
03:21 He's got fantastic gate speed.
03:22 But he is now super duper tough.
03:25 The locomotive had the sit on him.
03:26 He rushed up alongside.
03:28 Got within about a head or a neck.
03:31 But Prince of Rock he's a fighter.
03:33 He was in for the challenge and he pulled away in the last little bit.

03:45 I'm sure that won't be the last of their tussles that they have in the big races later on in
03:50 the season.
