These horses have trialled pleasingly in recent weeks and this week 31/7/25 they head back to the racetrack. Pretty In Pink (3f Father Patrick – Tickle Me Pink) Tr. A Herlihy Well-bred young trotter who hasn’t started since November 2024 but primed by recent workouts at Auckland. The latest workout (18/7/25) where she trailed before sweeping up around final turn and proving far too good for three rivals, with plenty of petrol left. MR:2:07.6, 800m in 59.7, 400m in 29.2. Resumes this Friday at Auckland in Race 7 and with her best manners, should take a power of beating for in-form stable. The veteran of just six starts with one win and four placings to show for it. Dam won 9 from 16 + $160k and this filly is her first foal. To place a bet in this race click here Smackdown (2f Downbytheseaside – Lady Smack) Tr. S Reid Only qualified recently (22/7/25) at Ashburton but super impressive against only one rival, leading then clearing out by an official 16L in a 1:56.6MR, 800m in 57.5. Had won two other public outings in July before that jaw dropping effort. Debuts this Friday at Addington in Race 6 and up against some handy sorts with stable reputations but still expected to be highly competitive. Dam qualified but was unraced and has already left 3 foals for 3 winners. This filly is her fourth foal. She is also a half to champion filly The Orange Agent (23 wins from 33 starts + $746k) so plenty to like about the potential of this filly as a racehorse. To place a bet in this race click here Smokin Ashes (3g Captain Crunch – Ashes To Wings) Tr. R & J Dunn Resumed in June after some handy trial runs at Rangiora and has backed those efforts up with some very solid race night performances at Addington in recent weeks, made all the better with starting off the unruly mark behind the mobile. Last start fifth behind Here Comes Marty (25/7/25) and less than 1L from the winner, coming from the rear and very wide final turn. Back at Addington this Friday in Race 2 and significantly comes off the unruly for this mobile assignment. Still the unfinished product but stable junior driver Riley Harrison has been doing a good job behind him in the cart. That combination in line to get a well deserved winning turn this week. To place a bet in this race click here Donny Do (3g Sweet Lou – Star Of The Ball) Tr. K Green Solid trials during June and July led Donny to being public elect on debut at Winton (17/7/25) and didn’t disgrace himself behind Major Burns after racing parked throughout MR:2:01.5, 800m in 58.4, less than 2L from the winner. Given time to get over that effort, he goes to Winton again this Sunday in Race 2 against many of those whom he beat on debut. Only runner on the second line but drawn behind a debutante who didn’t have much gate speed in recent workout (although a winner). Just a mile and the first 200m crucial to Donny’s chances but looks one to follow if not a winner on this occasion. Dam won eight and has already left 10 winners! Willy Away (4g Always B Miki – Jungle Jane) Tr. C Butt Trialed in June behind subsequent winner Berrettini then debuted for solid third behind Coba Charged (6/7/25) when less than 2L from the winner. Another close up placing (13/7/25) but wilted on last run when asked to sit parked over the last lap on a 57.1 last 800m. Back at Addington this Sunday in Race 6 and if he gets the start right over 2000m looks a strong contender to dispute the finish. Dam was more than handy winning 6 races and has left 7 winners including The Coalman. Willy looms as her 8th! View the full article -
i was listening recently to brad steele interviewed on the alumni racing show. I think the interview was dated about 3 months ago. what struck me was mr steele seemed to genuinely believe what he says. I.e.That harness racing in nz has so many positives happening and things are shaping up well for the future. I had thought he was just someone who always talked positive,irrespective of the realities of whether that was the case or not. so the answer to why he always paints a picture was staring us in the face. personally I didn't recognise it, because i thought it is such an unrealistic outlook for anyone to have. but hey,how about that . -
They may well be flush with Entain cash at the moment but I can guarantee that anyone with any business acumen can clearly see the writing on the wall! They are clearly blowing the opportunity that the Entain money provided but there has been so many poor decisions being made unfortunately. Would any Bank have lent Harness Racing any money with their business plan to keep harness racing going? Not on your nally, and Entain are only in it to take the profits of the online gambling and Sports betting for a total of 25 years! -
Well - as a buffoon I encountered once said - never let the facts get in the way of the relentless pursuit of publicity (free or otherwise), promotion and self aggrandisement! 😜! Or - for that matter - in the way of sycophants who support the said relentless pursuit! And to be clear - I do note that the article is attributed to one Joshua Smith from the Loveracing NZ News Desk. Not the first (or last) :journo to play fast 'n' loose with the facts. Now my fellow BOAYarners - I'm not personally acquainted with Joshua - but whatever's going on here - & whoever has decided on the content & the title for the article which headlines the syndicator so prominently (albeit, inaccurately) - I can confirm there is no truth in the rumor that "Joshua Smith" is a writer's pseudonym for Karen F-E.

Has been going poorly for a long time! Hasnt shown much staying prowess and if it wins the way it has been going, you would be needing to ask some serious questions!
