John Dickie never thought it would be like this.
The quietly-spoken Cambridge trainer heads into Sunday's Australasian Breeders Crown with two red hot favourites in races worth over a combined A$260,000 ($327,000).
A year ago that would have been a dream. Now it is almost normal.
Not even three months
ago Flying Isa and Paramount Geegee were hot favourites in the 2 and 3-year-old trotting divisions of the Harness Jewels and got punters home, as they have most times in the past 12 months.
They have almost been faultless in feature races, winning five group ones between them and over $615,000 - unheard of for young trotters in this part of the world.
