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 28th of August)

AMERICAN FEATURE

The feature Robert J. Kane Memorial Invitational Pace took place at Batavia Downs on Friday night. It saw a major highlight too with the Kiwi pacer American Dealer N setting a new all-time track record of 1:50.2. Watch the blistering display below.

CANADIAN FEATURE

Nicholas Barnsdale covered the amazing card presented at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Saturday. One of the many features on their card was the rich $665,000 William Wellwood Memorial.

AUSTRALIAN FEATURE 

It proved to be the 100th Group 1 success for Emma Stewart on Saturday night as the $175,000 Nutrien Equine Final went the way of the Stewart trained First Responder.

NEW ZEALAND FEATURE

The first of the features that lead to the New Zealand Cup took place at Addington on Friday with the running of the Maurice Holmes Vase at group three level.
