The odds are mounting against Swayzee’s quest for a record-equalling third successive IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup win at Addington Raceway on Tuesday, November 11. 

The champion stayer missed defending his Victoria Cup title with a bowel infection and owner Mick Boots revealed it is still an issue.

“He’s touch and go for NZ,” Boots said.

“It’s that bowel infection and it’ll be hard to get the work into him for an NZ Cup.”

The line in the sand looks to be next Saturday night’s Battle of Beersheba free-for-all at Menangle.

Swayzee has only raced twice in the past six months for a first-up sixth in the Group 1 Len Smith Mile on September 6, then a second to Kingman at Menangle on October 4.
