Champion harness trainer Mark Purdon has revealed the extent of his thoroughbred training ambitions as his All Stars stable gets ready for its next evolution.

Purdon is in the north this week preparing for the Harness Million meeting at Cambridge on Friday night and will have a small team based here through until Auckland Cup time in late May.

After recently being joined in partnership by his son Nathan, Purdon says the most feared stable in harness racing continues to undergo changes as he seeks new professional challenges.
