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 REPLAY
Nicolle Kain reported on Monticello Raceway action last week with Rolling With Sam rolling the best of the field in their $6,500 Open harness racing pace at on Wednesday. A slick 1:54.2 overall time enough to see off Some Deal Hanover and Smart Talker. Catch the replay below.
CANADIAN REPLAY
Nicholas Barnsdale reported on an earnings milestone for Power And Grace last week as the mare passed the $500’000 mark in career earnings when scoring in the Preferred Trot at Flamboro Downs on Thursday. The 1.57.1 win was the 57th victory of a career that’s now seen 180 lifetime starts.
NEW ZEALAND REPLAY
Bruce Stewart reported on the Cromwell Cup recently with the burnt Central Otago track playing host to a strong card. The grass track feature saw an even bunch of pacers line up behind the tapes. Turning for home South Seas Rock and Got You Covered loomed large but it wasn’t to be with a swooping effort late taking the prize out wide on the track. Watch the coverage below.
