The big movers in the 2015 TABtouch Inter Dominion rankings are the Victorian Major Crocker and Queensland’s Our Hi Jinx. 58 horses remain in the harness racing series to be held in Western Australia after the first acceptance payment, leaving Grand Circuit champion Christen Me as the top ranked horse after the withdrawal of defending champion Beautide.
There was little movement in the top ten, however after strong performances at the elite level in recent weeks, including Our Hi Jinx winning the Group Two Be Good Johnny Sprint and Major Crocker downing a number of highly rated rivals in the VHRC Classic, the pair have forced their way into the top 30 of the third set of rankings.
“Our Hi Jinx has been rewarded for good performances against some of Australia’s best pacers in recent weeks and thoroughly deserves his position inside the top 30” said Warren Wishart, Racing and Wagering WA Chief Harness Handicapper.
“Likewise Major Crocker has taken the jump to open company within his stride. After an eye-catching 4th to Philadelphia Man at his start prior, he was too strong for Lennytheshark last Friday, a performance worthy of inclusion in the top 30”.
NSW pacer Blazin N Cullen cemented his place in the championship with a win in Saturday night’s Group Three Garrards Horse And Hound Pace at Menangle.
