Sometimes once you break the drought it keeps raining.
And that was the case on two fronts when Temporale caused one of the biggest upsets of the harness racing season in the $150,000 Canam Rowe Cup at Alexandra Park last night.
Group one trotting winners at 34-1 are rare in New Zealand but a fast start and perfect run on the markers saw the 4-year-old outsprint favourites Habibti Ivy and Bordeaux in the north's richest trot.
And that is where the broken drought comes in.
Until last season no 4-year-old in over 30 years had won the Rowe Cup - Monbet did it in 2016 and now Temporale has made it two in a row.
