HRNSW checks stable training arrangements

Harness Racing NSW will interview Craig Cross and Belinda and Luke McCarthy about the training arrangements at Sydney’s most successful stable this week.

Cross stepped down as trainer last Monday because of on-going problems with a leg he broke a couple years ago, with Belinda McCarthy taking over the team at the Cobbity property, including Hunter Cup runners King Of Swing, Alta Orlando and Star Galleria on Saturday.

“Craig is in a lot of pain with his leg and is still part of the team, but he has been advised to take it easy, so Belinda has just taken back over control of the stable,” Luke McCarthy said.

It comes as harness racing authorities around the country are set to test training arrangements in several stables.
