Second Serve for Caden: Two races only two days apart and second place in both of the Elite fields: That is the quality of Caden Murray’s running in recent times. On Thursday night at the Doncaster Mile, Caden led the field for three laps before being caught by two of the chasing field. The ability to produce a 61 second last lap allowed Caden to reclaim second place. His time of 4:13.16 chipped a small piece off his previous pb. At Bendigo on Saturday, Caden finished in second place.
