Oamaru trainer Phil Williamson had accepted that his stable star’s travelling days were over.
But with the three big names of New Zealand trotting now all set to miss the rich Melbourne trotting carnival, it is back on the agenda for Majestic Man.
“You couldn’t believe we [New Zealand] could have three great trotters and they all have problems at the same time,” says Williamson.
