Craven to flex another trotter

7 December 2021

Victorian horseman Matthew Craven will produce debutant winner Isitmeandyou at Menangle today.

The trotter won first up at Menangle on November 30 in a rate of one minute and 58.2 seconds.

Craven has a big week ahead in Sydney, preparing two horses for the Group 1 Inter Dominion Trotting Championship at Menangle on Saturday night.

Craven qualified both Pink Galahs and Lotamuscle for the Grand Circuit event.

Pink Galahs is yet to win in the series of heats, however, her consistent placings has seen her as one of the main fancies for the $150,000 final.

Her stablemate Lotamuscle earned valuable points for the final when winning his heat at Bathurst last Wednesday.

Lotamuscle finished fifth to The Penny Drops in the last heat at Newcastle on Sunday night while Pink Galahs finished second to Maori Law.

Craven will stick with driving Pink Galahs for the Final while his partner Sofia Arvidsson will drive Lotamuscle.
