On North American harness racing 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.
AMERICAN FEATURE
Kimberley Rinker reported on the stunning effort of Ruthless Hanover to take out the Brower Memorial in an amazing 1.46.4 last week. The time equaled the standing record for aged geldings set by Holborn Hanover in 2006. Check out the replay below.
CANADIAN FEATURE
Pass Line was on a straight line towards the winning post last week at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Bringing up a strong effort to back up a winning effort to start her career. The 1.54 was an improvement on her first winning time and could be a sign of further performances to come. Watch the replay below. Nicholas Barnsdale reported.
NEW ZEALAND FEATURE
It might have been a lower class of meeting but Sunday was a good day for trainers Colin and Julie DeFilippi as they brought up 300 training wins together. The milestone coming when Beaudiene Quick Step scored by half a head. Bruce Stewart reported and you can watch the replay below.
AUSTRALIAN FEATURE
Harnesslink covered the HRNSW NSW Bred 2YO Final from Menangle last week with Kick The Switch proving too strong for race rivals. The son of Lazarus closed out the race in 1.55.1 to score well. Modern Sheen and Beachride filled the minor placings.
