There is some great harness racing this weekend on both sides of the Tasman, with all the big guns on show. The first of them is the 4th heat of the Woodlands Sires Stakes for 2-year-old colts and geldings at Addington, run from the mobile over 1980m. Here is our take on it,= This may […]
Kiwi trainer Scott Dickson pulled off a massive plunge in the last race at Cambridge this evening with Melton Mogul, which was backed from $51.oo into $7.50 with bookmakers on both sides of the Tasman and landed the prize.
