For the first time this century Harness Racing New Zealand's premier race - the New Zealand Trotting Cup - could be run with a field which won't be at full capacity. When sustaining payments were taken yesterday (Wednesday October 27) just 18 pacers...

Makes you wonder - you know if they had late entered him (and any others from that stable who also may have missed the 11 a.m deadline) and said it was that famous harness excuse called "office error" would anyone have queried it - I think not. ...

I like that the Southern Supremacy and Southland Oaks have changed their qualifying criteria to stakes won in Southland. I am a little worried this will see the quality of those fields drop from what we have seen in recent times. Oaks: Mainland...

Late night for the runners in Rce 11 this Friday night. There will still be a decent crowd there, courtesy of all the Xmas functions, but will be interesting to see the turnover. Great card this Friday night, and could be a good night to watch,...

Just home from Forbury and checking fields for Tuesday. Kilkelly/Sherborne horses now just Kilkelly trained horses. Pretty early to be going out on her own. Exciting times i guess, but not easy to get an established stable of horses like she...

Hi, I've been searching for videos online of a couple of races at Addington won by Iraklis/Ricky May. They were major races so I was hopeful that I'd be able to find them, but I've had no luck so far. If anyone knows they exist and can point me...
