Champion trotter Tornado Valley on target to break $1m barrier Champion trotter Tornado Valley on target to break $1m barrier by Adam Hamilton Kate Gath and Tornado Valley Image: Ashlea Brennan Champion trotter Tornado Valley's first trip down the highway to Geelong could be a historic one. The 10-time Group 1 winner and former Inter Dominion champion is poised to smash through the $1 million stakemoney barrier if he wins the Group 3 Sundons Gift Trotters’ free-for-all at Geelong’s Beckley Park on Saturday night. It would make Tornado Valley just the third Aussie-trained trotter to top $1 million in earnings. Sundons Gift ($1,275,264) and Keystone Del ($1,063,560) are the other two. Australasia’s highest earner is the great Lyell Creek, but much of his thumping $2,256,724 was earned during a stint in North America.
