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.

Here’s our latest offering from the last seven days (week ended 9th May )

NORTH AMERICAN FEATURE

The rich Dexter Cup was contested at Freehold Raceway on Saturday.  Brave By Design needed to be all of the name suggests as the rain came down. Joe Bongiorno piloted the impressive winner home in 1:57.2. Watch the replay below.

NEW ZEALAND FEATURE

The Alabar Northern Trotting Oaks was contested on Friday night at Alexandra Park with the feature seeing Double Delight continue an impressive start to her career. The trotting daughter of Captaintreacherous showed great speed late to secure the victory for trainer T Herlihy. Watch the action below.

AUSTRALIAN FEATURE 

The Group 1 Australian Gold 4YO Mares’ final (1609m) proved to be a Emma Stewart benefit at Menangle as the mile feature saw a trifecta come out of the stable. In a hotly contested affair Tough Tilly proved too tough for her stablemates with a late burst by Ladies In Red proving too late.

We’ll be back more race replays next week
