NZHarnessNews

By Mike Love   West Melton trainer Andrew Drake didn’t have to wait long for Rack’em Up to break his maiden status.

Williamson and Mowbray’s association dates back to around…

NZHarnessNews

By Jonny Turner  There is only going to be one argument between Steven Reid and Samantha Ottley after Jumal’s Group 1 win on Diamonds Day. The two-year-old justified his red-hot favouritism with a brilliant win in the Group 1 Diamond Creek Farm Classic at Ascot Park. While Reid and Ottley are in complete agreement on Jumal being a classy customer, the pair are yet to agree on who is the bigger fan of the exciting youngster. “I think Steven thinks he’s his number one fan, but no, I certainly am,”…
