    • David Eustace will look at testing Light Years Charm in Group company again after the progressive galloper dug deep to claim a fighting win in Sunday’s Class Two Santa Monica Handicap (1,400m) at Sha Tin. Dropping in grade after an unlucky seventh behind My Wish in the Group Three Celebration Cup (1,400m), Light Years Charm relished a frenetic speed set by Beauty Crescent and Drombeg Banner to record his fifth win from 11 local starts. Zac Purton settled the $3.75 favourite in midfield and he...View the full article
    • By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk  Only a disaster can stop Canada’s James MacDonald from winning his second World Driving Championship title at Addington Raceway on Tuesday. In Sunday’s heats at Winton the Netherlands’ Jaap van Rijn was the individual star with three wins from the day’s four heats to climb from eighth to third overall, behind MacDonald and Australian Gary Hall junior. Van Rijn’s wins came with Shezza Vinnie in Heat 16, Jordan Anne in heat 18 and in the last heat of the day with Mouton Cadet. He has 140 points. New Zealand’s Blair Orange is fourth on 131 points. The best he can now finish is third.  The day’s other heat at Winton was taken out by Frenchman Pierre Vercruysse with Airwaves. MacDonald accrued crucial points throughout the day including two seconds with Sherwood Maggie and Xerion and has a 15 point buffer heading into the 20th and final heat at Addington on IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup day. He has 164 points, with Hall next on 149. For MacDonald not to claim the title Hall would have to win on Tuesday and MacDonald would have to finish last. MacDonald won his first and only WDC on home soil in 2017.  On Tuesday both are driving 31-to-one outsiders Alotoftrouble (MacDonald) and Peaknmonkey (Hall). The WDC leaderboard (after 19 of 20 heats) is : James MacDonald (Canada) 164 Gary Hall junior (Australia) 149 Jaap van Rijn (Netherlands) 140 Blair Orange (New Zealand) 131 Mats Djuse (Sweden) 125 Pierre Vercurysse (France) 117 Michael Nimczyk (Germany) 113 Brett Beckwith (USA) 103 Giampaolo Minnucci (Italy) 95 Santtu Raitala (Finland) 95 The final heat will be Race 3 at Addington on Tuesday (12.54pm).   View the full article
    • Brett Crawford’s “fairy tale” start to his Hong Kong training career continued when Encountered flashed home to recapture the Group Three Sa Sa Ladies’ Purse (1,800m) at Sha Tin on Sunday. The Churchill galloper had been winless in 18 runs after winning the race in 2023 for David Hall and signs of a revival last year were limited, including a midfield finish in this race 12 months ago. He switched stables into Crawford’s care ahead of this season and after a pair of promising runs in Class Two...View the full article
    • After a typical slow start to the season and 87 runners without a victory, John Size made an emphatic return to the winners’ enclosure with a treble at Sha Tin on Sunday. The 13-time champion Hong Kong trainer managed just two wins and a frustrating 19 placings from the first 18 meetings of the season, before he struck with Sight Hermoso, Ka Ying Power and the impressive Szeryng on Sunday. “Normally, as you’ve probably read 1,000 times, we have slow starts to seasons but as long as we get going...View the full article
    • As long as their there for the races, last couple cups I went to, they where there alright, but the didn't look likely they were there for the racing, more like the liquid refreshments, was a few years ago, be good if things have changed.
