Dedicated New South Wales harness racing trainer-driver Dean Cernovskis says he still smiles about his good fortune when he recalls the day he purchased a Kiwi-bred pacer in 2010.
"You have to get a bit of luck now and again-and the $20,000 I spent on that occasion was the best twenty grand I've ever handed over!" Cernovskis said.
The hard-working horseman, his wife Rikki and their young family hail from the NSW Southern Highlands region and had always wanted a Christian Cullen-bred horse.
"I was telling a friend to look out for one. He just straight up told me he'd heard that there could be one, and from a good family, that may be available," Cernovskis said.
