Copy That out of New Zealand Cup

Copy That's bid for a record-equalling third New Zealand Cup is over.

It's been revealed the champion pacer has a knee injury which has him ruled out of the country's biggest race at Addington on Tuesday, November 14.

Copy That has had two runs this campaign, a third and a second at Alexandra Park in September.

The winner of 33 races and more than two million dollars in stakes Copy That was vying to be just the fourth horse ever to win three New Zealand Cups in a row, joining Indianapolis, False Step and Terror To Love.

With Copy That out, Akuta is now the $2.30 favourite on the fixed odds, with Self Assured next at $7.50.
