A good night at the office tonight ⭐️

"Here comes a statement victory" - Aaron White, commentator

MERLIN wins the TAB - The Holmes DG Pace at Alexandra Park this evening with an impressive victory in the hands of Zachary Butcher as he stamps his authority in the Road to the IRT NZ Trotting Cup!

Scott Phelan and Barry Purdon trained the first four home in a race where Barry has had so much prior success in. The partnership have also now won four races on the card tonight so are having a great night out!

Montana Park Pty Ltd owns Merlin and has an ownership share in the first three runners home - what an achievement!

All three trained by Barry Purdon & Scott Phelan Racing Stables

🥈Cold Chisel - Tony Herlihy
🥉Sooner The Bettor - Scott Phelan
