It is not often punters see a new name among the big gun drivers at Alexandra Park on a Friday night but they will tonight.
But the more serious-sounding Zachary Butcher will bring the same huge talent levels to the sulky he has for the last 10 years as happy-go-lucky Zac Butcher.
With 582 career successes in New Zealand, Butcher is well on his way to becoming one of our great reinsman and already sits alongside his father David and Tony Herlihy as the most feared drivers at Alexandra Park.
But it was his mother's influence that saw Butcher officially change his work name to Zachary starting from tonight's meeting.
"We were out as a family recently and Mum said she had always meant for me to be called by me real name, Zachary, and not Zac but it just got shortened when I got into the racing game," explains Butcher.
