Phil and Steve talk Forbury Park

Oamaru trainer Phil Williamson and his lead stable hand Steve Allen, a trainer in his own right, each have horses with good win chances down to race at the Forbury Park harness racing meeting at Oamaru tomorrow.

Williamson doubles up in Race One with Didn’t Di (Majestic Son) and Brother Johnson (Father Patrick).

Didn’t Di is still learning the trade and his gait has let him down in his only two starts.

Brother Johnson is also learning the ropes. In his last two starts he’s been laying in.

Allen lines up Follow Me Fantasy (Highview Tommy) in Race Two. She hasn’t been finishing off her races as well as expected but her distance and course stats are good.

Williamson’s last start winner Storm Cloud (Father Patrick) is in the form of her life, but steps up a grade in Race Three.

Our Pinocchio (Bacardi Lindy), after finishing second at Cromwell, broke at his last start and will start from the unruly tomorrow. The six win trotter is trained by Williamson.

Allen has Lord Fantasy (Betting Line) in Race Six. The five year old gelding has been in excellent form this campaign running third in both of his starts. He draws one in the 2000 metre mobile event.
