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 10th of July)
AMERICAN FEATURE
Kimberley Rinker reported on the flying efforts produced by those in Meadowlands Pace Elimination action last week. The most impressive of these arguably being Cannibal, who didn’t stop chewing on his race rivals until he was pronounced the winner of his heat in a smart 1.48.1. Watch the replay below.
CANADIAN FEATURE
Nicholas Barnsdale reported on a big sales purchase who is looking to carve out a legendary career on the track. Legendary Hanover (Huntsville) won his debut at Woodbine impressively on Friday beating out 1:54.2. Erinwood Bigrig and Twin B Hungergames in 1:54.2. Catch the replay of the effort below
AUSTRALIAN FEATURE
Leap To Fame could well be one of the best we’ve seen in Australasia for some time. Race viewers would have been left stunned by the way in which he won the Group 1 $350,000 The Rising Sun at Albion Park last week. A 1.52 mile-rate meant no race rivals could stick anywhere near the rampant son of Bettor’s Delight. Watch the amazing run -and slick last furlong- here.
