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 22nd of May)

AMERICAN FEATURE

Garnet Barnsdale covered the running of the $155,200 Arthur J. Cutler Memorial Trot at The Meadowlands on Saturday night. In the end the competitive feature went to class type Venerate , who soared to the finish line in a smart 1:50.2  You can watch the thrilling last furlong efforts below.

CANADIAN FEATURE

It may not have been the most important race over the last seven days but a win by Seeyou en at Rideau Carleton Raceway did rovide a nice moment for connections. The point of interest in the win being the fact that it was the 200th start for the son of Muscle Mass. Nicholas Barnsdale covered the action and you can see the replay below.

NEW ZEALAND FEATURE

Paul Nairn knows how to get the best out of a class trotter and that was once again the case on Friday night at Alexandra park when the trainer got the best confession one could hope for to snare the $52,000 3YO Sires Stakes Trotters Championship. Brad Reid covered the story for Harnesslink and you can catch up with the action below.

We’ll be back in seven days time with more race replays of the week.
