James Herbertson

I think James can have his own thread .

It was good to see he drove a couple of winners overnight but a lot of his drives were sorta outsiders , So he did well.
He no doubt will have to decide what he is going to do with his future but in saying that , I am sure he will make the correct one for himself .
I think , but I do not know , it is just what I have read that James may have been looking to go to the states before we lost Greg . If he does he will do very well as I feel he can really drive .
Anyway all the best to him . I feel a lot of harness folks will follow his career with admiration for him.

“I couldn’t stay in the US then. I wasn’t in the right headspace to stay and had to get back to support Jess.,” he said.

“Now my whole world has changed and will never be the same.

“I’m going back to finish what I started in the US. It’s a chance to reset.

“To be honest, I wasn’t planning on staying that long in Australia once I finished this trip, but there is so much more to consider now.

“Jess (Tubbs) will need a worker and a driver … we’ve all got a lot of thinking to do.”

Herbertson will spend a week back in New Jersey then travel to Stockholm during the iconic Elitlopp carnival later this month.

“I’ll have a week or 10 days working in a stable there and then Ewa (Justice, girlfriend) and I will have some actual holiday time in Poland and maybe another place or two.

“We don’t have a fixed return date. I don’t feel like putting a time on things right now, I want to play it by ear.”
