Addington on its biggest day, with a winning chance in a group one - Todd Mitchell feels he is back where he belongs.
The Waikato reinsman partners Cyclone Prince in tomorrow's $180,000 Sires' Stakes Final and all he needs is a little luck to add another chapter to his scarcely believable Addington story.
How a guy who has rarely been the No 1 driver for a major stable won four New Zealand Cups in six years defies logic, as, too, does Mitchell's comeback from a potentially career-ending disqualification last season.
He lost both his training and driving licences after some sloppy feeding practices resulted in high bicarbonate readings which saw him spend nine months on the sidelines.
But since returning to the sulky in February he has again demonstrated that rarest of racing abilities - to get horses to produce their best.
