Eagle Galleon wins his way into Jewels

The Robert Wilson trained Eagle Galleon won his second race in a row when he won the Breckon Farms Trot on Saturday.

As favourite, the four year old by The Pres, beat Larch by two and a half lengths.

Wilson who trains from his Balfour stable is having a great harness racing season with eleven wins on the board; his best since he started training in 2012. 

The win places Eagle Galleon eleventh in the McMillan Feeds Four Year Old Ruby.

Meanwhile the John and Katrina Price trained Repartee capped off her consistent form by beating her older rivals at Ascot Park.

Repartee's winning margin today was three quarters of a length from outsider Mandolin. The Prices will have to consider a start in the Ashburton Guardian Two Year Old Diamond on Harness Jewels Day at Ashburton as she sits at number eleven on the leader board.
