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.
AMERICAN REPLAY
Kimberly Rinker covered the $300,000 Max C. Hempt Memorial from Pocono on Saturday. The main feature was won in impressive style byt Confederate. The star pacer enjoying a charmed run off the pace, making a final, irresistable burst over the final 2 furlong to claim what seemed like a effortless victory. The victory pushed Confederate’s career earnings to $1,281,629
CANADIAN FEATURE
Trey Colbeck covered some of the competitive Georgian Downs racing on Sunday with Fashion Frenzie continuing a strong run of recent form by taking out the Honourable Earl Rowe Memorial Invitational Trot. The 1.53 enough to se off race rivals by some margin.
NEW ZEALAND FEATURE
Bruce Stewart covered the Kurow Cup on Sunday with Mossdale Ben proving too strong for his rivals over the concluding stages. Sitting off the pace the progressive Hope trained runner swept into things at the turn, hit the front, and could never be caught in the run home. Watch the replay below.
