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.

NEW ZEALAND REPLAY
Bruce Stewart reported on a trotter going places in a hurry on Friday. The Nairn trained Tectonic continues to prove almost impossible to beat from behind the tapes, holding off Jimmy Carter and Andy Hall to score once again from the leading position. The win carries on what has been a stellar run of form with Tectonic now the winner of 4 from 15 with a string of victories in his last few starts. An exciting prospect for the future.
