Bets of the week ringaround August 4th 2016

We ended the 2015/2016 harness racing season on a great note with the bets of the week ringaround and the Friday Addington selections were the pick of the bunch. Four out of the five Friday Addington selections won with the best price going to Blair Orange's pick Ranfurly Rulz, who shot up the passing lane for Craig Smith and paid a pleasing $8.40 to win on the tote. Others to select winners were Todd MacFarlane, Ricky May, Nathan Williamson, Gerard O'Reilly and the Harnesslink workout reporter.

This week we begin the 2016/2017 season and there are three harness racing meetings in New Zealand. We have what the drivers think are their best chances for these meetings below.
