Champion trotter Sundees Son is out of Sunday’s Grand Prix meeting and the summer of racing.
The last-start Dominion winner, making it a three-peat in the race, has knocked a leg in a paddock and will be sent for a spell.
That means he misses the $100,000 NZ Trotting Free-For-All at Addington on Sunday, the open class trotting highlight of the new eight Group 1s raceday.
It means Muscle Mountain, who
all but beat Sundees Son in the Dominion, will start a hot favourite in the Free-For-All.
