Merlin, Better Knuckle Up and Bettors Anvil also not backing up.
Marketplace won't back up in the NZ FFA after his great second on Tuesday, but stablemate Mo'unga does. Both have pulled up well.
Mr Love out of Trot FFA after underperforming on quick backup last year. Habibti Pat has come through with flying colours and Freya joins the mix.

Group 1 race on Cup Day and only one driver makes a mid-race move. Nothing peeled until the 350m mark.
Well done, Carter Dalgety. The only one brave enough to make a move and you got the choccies.

There had to be something wrong. He had been way down on his speed lately. It's Carlin Davidson's team now. Perhaps the Breakers jag Raul Neto? #NBL27
New Zealand Breakers guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright will miss the remainder of the 2026-27 NBL season, the team says. He underwent scans that revealed a stress fracture in his tibia that now “requires immediate rest and rehabilitation”.

Looks like Wilson House has won the AYDC from Jett Turnball by 1 point.
Lane Dwyer pips Jordan Leedham for 3rd after winning the last heat.

He's carrying the hopes of a nation is @ReganTodd7
If you're only going to have a couple of runners in on Cup Day then why not make them both in the biggest race of them all. Regan Todd chats Marketplace and Mo'unga.

The emergencies have been scratched from Cup Day already. It's a totally nonsensical move and for the life of me, I can't understand why they do it.

It's been a remarkable month for the connections of Prestigious. He was ranked 40th when the Dominion rankings first dropped & tomorrow he's set to start the second favourite.

Benny Hill has renewed confidence that Cath can add a 2nd G1 win @AddingtonNZ tomorrow. After a mixed Spring he thinks she's turned the corner.
Also says Scoundrel will be sitting parked in the @NZSiresStakes 2YO Final & they "won't die wondering"

NZ Trotting Oaks shaping as one of the races of the carnival. Can make a case that the best four trotters in the crop are all fillies.

The last SEVEN Cup winners have been 100% Australian owned. It's bewildering.
Can Marketplace be the Kiwi to end the recent Aussie dominance of the NZ Cup?
Love the Bob Cameron/Iraklis cameo, too. @AddingtonNZ @TracksideNZ @HarnessRacingNZ @BrittanyTGraham @GregORacingNZ
Wee yarn with Tim Trathen ahead of Kaikoura today. Nellie Doyle will give him his first Group 1 runner in next week's Dominion. But first, they have the South Bay Trotters Cup in their sights.

John Morrison has pulled off a couple of ripping drives to win on Dons Delight and now Lilac Luxury at Kaikoura today. Well done that man.

Santner leading from the front by not bowling himself. Currently ranked #14 in the world amongst T20i bowlers. #NZvIND
I note too he also keeps promoting himself ahead of Bracewell in the batting order (unjustified).
