Prior to her […]

Trainer Ray Jones has resisted the temptation to continue Lavra Joe’s (Roll With Joe) campaign in Queensland, instead deciding to spell the harness racing gelding.

Franco Ecuador’s (A Rocknroll Dance) stylish return to harness racing has taken trainer Kim Prentice by surprise, so much so the Pinjarra Cup (2692m) has emerged as a possible target. The seven-year-old was dominant in winning Friday’s Trotsynd #WinnersWin Pace (2130m) at Gloucester Park. Franco Ecuador bullied his way to the top in a slick […]

Trainer Luke Edwards admits he still doesn’t know if he wanted to sell his WA Oaks harness racing winner August Moon (Captaintreacherous) to America. The filly delivered him his greatest moment as a trainer earlier this year in the $150,000 feature, scoring a brave win over Turn The Page. The daughter of Captaintreacherous is set […]

Champion harness racing three-year-old Never Ending (Sweet Lou) is out of tomorrow night’s Cowden Insurance-Western Gateway (2536m) at Gloucester Park. Trainer Justin Prentice said the gelding had some mucus and a slight cough and would take no chances ahead of next month’s WA Derby. It means Never Ending wouldn’t have raced for more than three […]
Trainer Madeliene Young has been rewarded for her persistence with Insta Gator (Huntsville), after the harness racing pacer took out last night’s TABtouch-North Eastern Districts Council Derby (2190m) at Northam.
