Harness briefs - 11th January 2018

Top pacing mare Nek Time has been retired after suffering another leg injury early this week.

Nek Time was being aimed at this weeks Nelson harness racing meeting, but instead will head to the paddock to recover from the injury and then be put in foal next season. 

The speedy mare was trained by Glenys and Terry Chmiel and finished her racing career with 8 wins from 25 lifetime starts. 

Nek Time (Gotta Go Cullect – Braithwaite) won several group races including the Queensland Oaks in Australia and had stake earnings of close to $160,000.

Former 11 win pacer Saveapatrol will have his first start as a trotter at Nelson on Friday.

The brilliant but unsound son of Christian Cullen qualified as a trotter a month ago winning a Rangiora trial by 19 lengths, going some nine seconds under the qualifying time.
