Cover colt Max with his dam, Maximum Joy.
After 2068 people casted their vote on social media, the Australasian Standardbred Stallion Guide has its new cover foal.
Shadow Play colt Max, pictured with dam Maximum Joy and bred by Stephen Cleave and Pat Ward is this year’s “cover colt”.
“Let’s hope he can keep his winning form through to his racing,” Cleave quipped.
Cleave put out a thank you on his Facebook site for all who voted for Max.
Harness Breeders Victoria was blown away by the popularity of this year’s competition.
