New Zealand Cup winner Cruz Bromac resumed from a brief let-up with a win at the Rangiora trials on Wednesday, January 29.

Zeuss Bromac (3c Bettor's Delight-Zeta Bromac), from the last Bromac Lodge draft entered at the NZ Yearling Sales by the late Bromac Lodge founder Bob McArdle, became a 1:51.9 miler at three, first-up since August, at Menangle (NSW) on Tuesday, January 28.

In-form ex-Aussie Soho Lennon A, from the family of former Bromac Lodge mate Happy Dreamer (Son Of Afella-Dreamy Atom) has completed a New York hat-trick in his latest USA racing.

Champion former NZ reinsman Dexter Dunn is the USA's leading money-winning driver through January, helped by the deeds of NZ-bred Franco Totem (7g Changeover-Treaty Franco), who won a $37,500 pace at the Meadowlands, New Jersey, last weekend, in 1:51.2 (fifths).

Tanabi Falcon, a half-brother to 2008 Victorian Derby winner Tanabi Bromac (1:55.8, 24 wins & $465,928), continues to make up for lost time in Australia.

New Zealand Cup winner Cruz Bromac is undergoing a scintigraphy dye test at Matamata before his 2020 race schedule is confirmed.
