NZHarnessNews

By Jonny Turner  Tony Stratford’s new recruits are clearly thriving in Southland. Now the Gore trainer is hoping that translates to winning race day form at Ascot Park on Thursday.

Nobody doubts Marketplace is our best three-year-old pacer but he has been beaten in two of his last three starts, both times when storming home after the winner put too much of a break on him. The latest was at…

Minstrel rockets into favouritism for $1.25m Nullabor

NZHarnessNews

By Adam Hamilton  Successful Kiwi horseman David Butt is grateful for the day five years ago when Minstrel failed a vet test. Leading Western Australian trainers Greg and Skye Bond had landed on a deal to buy the then emerging three-year-old and the last box to tick was a vet check. “He’d just run third in the Flying Stakes, the last lead-up for the NZ Derby, and the offer was a good one,” Butt recalled. “He was as good as sold, but failed the vet when they found he had…

Skin issue delays trotter’s return Boom Australian trotting mare Keayang Zahara’s racetrack return has been delayed by at least a week. But driver Jason Lee says the four-year-old, who created such a stir with three dominant Addington wins late last year, remained on target for the $100,000 Group 1 Macarthur Mile at Menangle on May 10.“She’s had a bit of a skin…
