Queensland owner Bruce Wyborn has had to face adversity straight in the face with squaregaiter Susan Is Her Name.
The Emma Stewart-prepared trotter has qualified for Saturday night’s Group 1 Back Of The Neck Vicbred Super Series for four-year-old trotting mares final after winning her heat at Geelong last Friday night.
The squaregaiter out of Hands Of A Star has had to deal with a number of injuries in her short 12 race career.
“She is sort of changing my life at the moment,” Wyborn said.
“She is a bit like a Christmas present, you have to wait 10 months to open, everything is flying at the moment and I think she is just going super.”
The winner of over $132,000 has already claimed top level features at two and three-year-old level.
The filly by Sebastian K took out the Breeders Crown Series for two-year-old trotting fillies in 2022, as well as the three-year-old category at last year's Vicbred Super Series.
A win in Saturday night’s $100,000 feature would be the ultimate redemption tale.
“She is by far the best horse I have ever had; it just means so much to me,” Wyborn said.
Susan Is Her Name has drawn seven for Saturday night’s 2240m event with Mark Pitt set to pilot.
The Group 1 Back Of The Neck Vicbred Super Series for four-year-old trotting mares final is set to score up at 6.34pm.
