Everybody involved in harness racing knows that every now and then in this industry you are in the zone.
Everything you back at the tote runs well and the whole gambling thing looks easy.
It doesn't happen that often but when it does you have to enjoy it.
Thats how it was with our tipsters last week.
They were all on the same page last week and that resulted in our most productive week by a huge margin.
Our tipsters chalked up thirteen winners last week and another five finished top three for a great result for followers of the ringaround.
Boasting rights went to Bob Butt who nailed Justalittlebettor at Motukarara at the healthy odds of eighteen to one.
Kyle Marshall showed his debut winning tip wasn't a fluke by nailing Donny Wood at Cambridge at the nice odds of seven to one and Terry Chmiel got Go Collect home at Timaru paying $5:20.
Other tipsters to nail winners last week were Steven Reid, Sean McCaffrey, Blair Orange, John Dunn, John Curtin, Tony Herlihy, Gerard O'Reilly, Ricky May, Nathan Williamson and Matthew Williamson.
That is a terribly hard act to follow but we are going to give it our best shot.
