Keayang Zahara

If the Kiwis liked what they say of Aussie trotting queen Keayang Zahara the last time she raced there, they will see an even better version on Friday night.

Keayang Zahara, Derek The Jet, Violet Stanford, Remus Phoenix, Maoris Mac, Enchauffour, Vytis, Maoris Mac, Pinnie, Sam Nien, Ajay Volstead, Empire City, Val Thorens…

The list continues to grow, and so does the influence of Volstead on the Australasian trotting ranks, despite only two full Australian crops making it to the racetrack so far.

Champion trotting mare Keayang Zahara is poised to show some hometown “love” before jetting across to chase more feature race glory in New Zealand.

For the first time in her illustrious career, superstar mare Keayang Zahara wasn’t in complete control of her own destiny in Saturday night’s Group 1 Just Believe Grand Prix at Melton.

Dan Mielicki and Rob Auber break down all the action ahead of Saturday night’s competitive card at Melton featuring the Group 1 Just Believe Grand Prix featuring Keayang Zahara, the A.G. Coombs Trot (Female Drivers Race) and the Lyn McPherson Memorial Breed for Speed Series Finals.

It now looks just a matter of when champion trotting mare Keayang Zahara breaks the Australasian record for the most Group 1 wins.

Co-trainer Paddy Lee admits the unique format of the Great Southern Star is as big a danger as any rival for superstar trotting mare Keayang Zahara on Saturday night.

As trotting superstar Keayang Zahara topped the $1m stake earnings mark in the Group 1 Cranbourne Trotters Cup on Saturday, she appears set to provide the Levarg Racing Group with a further windfall on Hunter Cup night.

She shows freakish ability, is on the verge of creating another slice of history and appears to have no equal, but exactly where does Keayang Zahara sit among the best trotting mares Australia has produced?

It would appear only an upset of mammoth proportions will deny the connections of Keayang Zahara from pocketing the $500,000 Summer Of Glory trotting bonus.

While the ink is far from dry on the $500,000 Summer Of Glory bonus cheque, superstar mare Keayang Zahara is on track to provide her connections with a windfall after her effortless win in the Group 1 $100,000 Aldebaran Park Maori Mile.
