Racing: Trainer Robbie Patterson's unusual worry with Coventina Bay ahead of super Sunday at Ellerslie

Coventina Bay is favourite for the $240,000 Bonecrusher NZ Stakes at Ellerslie on Sunday. The event has been moved to Sunday to accommodate the last day of the yearling sales at Karaka tomorrow. It will be one of Ellerlie's highlight races before the track is replaced. Ellslie closes next week for a new StrathAyr track. Coventine Bay won the Herbie Dyke at Te Rapa last month. She has only been to Elleslie once before and finished third in last year's Rich Hill Mile. Her trainer Robbie Patterson hopes Craig Grylls will get her a nice trip behind the speed.
