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 of May)
AMERICAN FEATURE
MGM Northfield Park was home to a world record on Sunday when Eye Ofa Tiger As let rip completing a 1.52 victory. The previous record by an aged gelding trotter was held by Smoking Jet.
CANADIAN FEATURE
Nicholas Barnsdale reported on the Grey Sea victory at Century Downs on Saturday. A new lifetime mark was good enough on this occasion and exteneded a good run of form as the mare has won her last three.
