Race replays of the week

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.

USA REPLAY 

Steve Wolf covered the $35,000 Invitational Pace on Friday with the feature event taking place at Yonkers.

You can watch the Invitational below.

CANADIAN REPLAY 

If anyone of anything could beat Taurasi you’d think they’d be doing it by now. Nicholas Barnsdale described the latest win last Saturday for Harnesslink. with the son of Racing Hill enjoying a sixth consecutive victory in the Preferred Pace feature. This week a late lane bid from Soaring Now still couldn’t stop the winning streak. The 1:50.4. just the latest impressive victory. Taurasi has now earned $473,321 and won 16 times in 35 starts.

NEW ZEALAND REPLAY 

The Cromwell meeting saw the running of the Fruitbowl Cup on Sunday with Pinseeker dialing in on the win for Jonny Cox. Bruce Stewart covered the impressive type by Downbytheseaside who was untouched in the run to the line with the Gutsell pair filling the minor placings in behind. The win extends the record of Pinseeker to 3 wins from just the 4 raceday starts.
