Matt Cross called his first New Zealand Cup at the age of just 26.
Now four years on, Matt prepares for the biggest racing day on the harness calendar once again: the New Zealand Trotting Cup.
It's a huge week for Canterbury, and Matt will call 60 races over eight days of the carnival.
He kindly joined John on Newstalk ZB Canterbury Mornings to talk about his preparation for the big day, and who he thinks will win the $750,000 New Zealand Trotting Cup.
