Leap To Fame Aims to Make History at Albion Park

Leap To Fame is setting his sights on becoming Australasia’s all-time richest pacer as he embarks on a new campaign at Albion Park. The champion horse, with an impressive track record of 50 wins and over $4 million in prize money, is gearing up for the Ladbrokes Inter Dominion set to kick off on July 5. His recent victory in the $NZ1 million Race at Cambridge showcased his exceptional form, prompting his trainers Grant and Trista Dixon to skip a trial and head straight to the races.
