The last race of Mark Purdon s champion training career could be decided by standing start manners in the $200,000 Woodlands Stud Auckland Cup on Thursday.
The race will be the last time New Zealand s greatest harness trainer has a horse race in his name for probably a year, maybe even longer as Purdon and partner Natalie Rasmussen take a step away from training.
Purdon confirmed to the Herald yesterday that from Friday, the first day of 2021, all horses trained by he and Rasmussen will transfer to current stable foreman Hayden Cullen s name.
That means if stars like Self Assured and Spankem head to Australia for a Hunter Cup and Miracle Mile campaign in coming months they will be trained by Cullen, with Purdon the stable s travelling foreman.

Two of Alexandra Park’s long lost sons could dominate the open class features at tonight’s premier meeting but that may have to do that the hard way.
Sundees Son (R4, No.6) and Spankem (R7, No.8) share the quite incredible record of both having not raced at Alexandra Park since May 3 last year when they each won Group One races.
When Sundees Son blew away his Rowe Cup trotting rivals that night and Spankem held Turn It Up at bay in the Messenger it would seem extremely unlikely neither would return to Alexandra Park until tonight.
