Race Replays of the Week

On North American tracks it’s all about speed over a mile trip, in Australia it’s a mix of both standing start and mobile features across a range of track sizes, in New Zealand it could be about an extreme two-mile contest or a grass track race featuring non-race winners and in Europe the champion trotter is celebrated as a king of the track.

In Harnesslink Race Replays Of The Week we bring you a snapshot into the very best contests from around the harness racing tracks of the world.

NORTH AMERICAN FEATURE RACE 

Pompano Park saw a supreme effort from Actor Hanover on Sunday night as the son of Captaintreacherous broke the clock in their Open Handicap Pace feature. John Berry reported on the hot action. WATCH as a 1.49 effort proves too slick. Actor Hanover extended his lifetime earnings to $209,336 with the win.

NEW ZEALAND FEATURE RACE

Grass track racing is a real feature of the Christmas and New Year period in New Zealand. The Gore Cup (Gore being situated in the deep South of the South Island of New Zealand) took place yesterday and saw a big crowd see a competitive race on the big track. WATCH as Johnny Mac is guided to victory by Blair Orange.

EUROPEAN FEATURE RACE 

The Prix d’Amerique qualifying races are currently in full swing. This is incredible racing with large fields contesting real staying affairs and the stride-in standing starts are also a point of difference. This footage of the 4th qualifying heat for the feature is supplied by LeTrot.

We’ll be back next week for another look into Race Replays of the Week.
