STAR Tasmanian pacer Our Sir Jeckyl will be attempting to make it back-to-back wins in New South Wales when he steps out in the standing start $40,000 Group 3 Tabcorp Park Pacers Cup over 1609 metres at Menangle on Sunday.
Our Sir Jeckyl has been in the care of top NSW trainer Paul Fitzpatrick for almost two months and he broke through for his first win in that state on June 11 when took was good for his rivals in a standing start race at Fairfield.
Sunday’s assignment is tougher in terms of the opposition but the former Easter Cup winner (2010) has drawn the front line (gate 4) and according to the gelding’s part-owner Jamie Cockshutt the horse will line up in peak condition.
Cockshutt also is a part-owner of Our Chain Of Command that will line up in the same race and has drawn alongside in gate three.
Our Chain Of Command is trained in Tasmania by Juanita McKenzie who has embarked on a hit and run mission with the six-year-old that is coming off an eye-catching fourth behind Quastor Centurion in Hobart last Sunday night in which he started off the back mark of 30 metres.
