Top horseman Greg Sugars won his second Traralgon Pacing Cup at the Warragul trots harness racing meeting last Friday afternoon.
His wife, Jess Tubbs, trained two of those winners, namely Treacherous Rock in the two-year-old race, and La Puddie in the feature $10,000 Pacing Cup.
The Cup event produced one of the most exciting finishes seen in the race s history. La Puddie led, and Sugars rated his horse beautifully in the lead.
Several of his eight rivals launched strong attacks inside the final 400 metres, with Joonior Brown and Didnt I sweeping down the outside in the home straight.
La Puddie held on to win in a three-way photo finish, by a short half head, with a similar margin separating second and third.
