Race replays of the week – Another Shark sighting at Century Downs

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.

USA REPLAY

A Typhoon hit Yonkers on Monday with an ex-Kiwi blowing on by the race rivals to secure a good win in their $39,000 Invitational Pace. Steve Wolf reported on the son of Bettor’s Delight who was driven well by Joe Bongiorno to score in 1.50.3. It was the fourth straight win and sixth victory of the season for Typhoon Banner N.

CANADIAN REPLAY

Nicholas Barnsdale always likes covering Shark Week – and we also like reporting on Shark Week – so here he is again doing what he does best. The win, at Century Downs, marks the 20th time he’s won in his last 21 starts. The will to attack the line proving too great for this predator!

NEW ZEALAND REPLAY 

Bruce Stewart covered a brace of wins for trainer Roydon Downey on Friday night at Alexandra, a feat that proved a first for the trainer- Both winners, Santapazienza (Wishing Stone) and Sans Au Revoir (Love You) being related. The win of Santapazienza was a strong one with a final burst down the outer of the track enough to see a deserved victory come to pass. You can watch the action below.

AUSTRALIAN REPLAY
John Dunne reported on a memorable night for a Trans-Tasman couple on Saturday night with Major Hot taking out the $150,000 Queensland Derby in fine style. The was the first Group 1 success for the barn and one that’s sure to be remembered for sometime given the circumstances. A slick mile rate of 1:55.4 was posted for the 2680 meter event. Watch the footage below.
