On a slightly more personal and less formal note, the announcement that super trotter Stig will once again grace the tracks of the ‘Shakey Isles' is my highlight of the week. Greater Canterbury Branch member and trainer of trotters extraordinaire Paul Nairn, has apparently nursed this guy back to racing shape after two or three previous unsuccessful attempts, and the big fellow's return to the track will be a dream come true for both the HRNZ Marketing team and harness racing lovers.

Fingers and toes crossed (again) that he can get back to somewhere near his brilliant best.

That's great news about Stig. I did not think we would see him again. Hope he can recapture some of that brilliant form before he went amiss so long ago.
