Each way chances for Herlihy-trained runners tonight

Auckland based driver Tony Cameron heads to Cambridge today with two harness racing runners for his employer Tony Herlihy.

“They both have the ability to be right in it tonight provided they get things right” says Cameron.

The stable starts the evening off with Lovemeagain in the Corporate Marquee Tables For Night of Champions Handicap Trot, the first of two junior driver races for the evening.

“I think she should be right in it, she’s pretty well mannered and we have one of the more experienced junior drivers on her in Crystal Hackett,” says Cameron.

The four-year-old mare’s recent performances at Alexandra Park have been solid, finishing within a few lengths of well performed trotters Belle Neige and Lord Popinjay. Additionally, all three of Lovemeagain’s wins have been at this track and over the 2200 metre trip, the most recent on January 24. She starts tonight’s race off a 15 metre handicap.

The second of the Herlihy trained runners is Master Savoy, driven tonight by Cameron, who starts in the Join Us For Flying Mile Night On March 28th Mobile Pace over 2200 metres.

The three-year-old by Vincent has had just two starts, both at Alexandra Park, for two minor placings. His most recent performance on March 7 saw him run on well to finish in fourth placing just three lengths off the winner after being intractable in the score up losing considerable ground at the start of the race.

“He can be a bit tricky but has ability there if he turns up tonight,” says Cameron, “although he’s drawn well (2), I’ll just be playing it by ear as to how he’s driven early since he’s still got a bit to learn.”

Cameron also partners the James Stephens trained runner Anna in the Garrards Horse & Hound Mobile Pace. The mare scored her maiden victory here back in January and has had just one start since at Alexandra Park where a gallop around the final bend ruled her out of contention.

“She has a few quirks although she did win her maiden here nicely,” says Cameron, “sShe’s starting off the unruly and we’ll be happy enough if she just gets everything right tonight.”

Racing action gets underway tonight at 4.39pm.
