Tetrick available for outside drives in Australia

The best harness racing driver in the world Tim Tetrick hits Australia shortly when he arrives to represent the United States Of America in the World Driving championships.

The series involves a series of twenty drives for each driver in the championships but Tim is keen to have a few drives beforehand to get the feel of harness racing down under.

Before coming to Australia, Tim and his wife Ashley will spend over a week in New Zealand and he has already sorted out a drive there. 

On Friday night at Alexandra Park Tim will drive The Fascinator for Tony Herlihy.

Beforehand he is going to Ray Greens at Pukekohe to have a sit behind a horse in a Australasian style cart to try to get use to the differences in bikes used downunder.

Tim has several media events while in New Zealand and has a full itinerary including a few days playing the tourist before heading to Australia at the end of next week.

The sulky maker UFO has had a sulky specially made to Australasian specifications for Tim to use in the series in Australia and by all accounts it sports a pretty special paint job.

Whilst being interviewed by phone from North America by Greg Hayes on Trots TV, Tim made it very clear that he would welcome the opportunity to have a few outside drives leading into and during the upcoming drivers series.

One thing you can be sure of during his visit is that Tim will draw a lot of media attention to the harness racing industry in Australasia while he is here and that can only be a big positive for the industry down under.
