    • By Michael Guerin Showmethetanlines was more than just a super impressive debut winner at Addington on Friday night. He was living proof of the money that can be made by getting on the front foot with early season two-year-old racing. The first two-year-old race of the season saw trainer Ross Houghton provide the trifecta, two them owned by Dancingonmoonlight Farm, where he trains his horses. The winner was way, way too good, bolting in by four lengths with a 57.9 second last 800m to suggest this won’t be his last win. But it is already worth way more than the winning stake as Robert Famularo, who owns Dancingonmoonlight Farms, gets $12,000 worth of bonuses for both breeding and owning Showmethetanlines. “When you look at the bonuses these two-year-olds get it makes sense to have them going early when plenty of other stables don’t have them racing,” says Houghton. “The bonuses are a great initiative and shows how keen HRNZ and Entain are to get two-year-old racing up and going earlier.” Houghton says while the winner is good he expects third placed Burt to be an improver next time they race. “He is a couple of weeks behind the other two and it sounds like Addington are keen to programme a two-year-old race every second week so these horses will get their chances.” Houghton says he has four more two-year-olds to join Friday night’s trio next month so he could be the new early season king of the babies. “I really enjoy the young horses and there has never been a better time to train them.” Houghton’s trifecta was the performance of the night but there was plenty to like about the win of Next Level in the main pace. Trainer Steven Reid had told HRNZ readers Next Level could be a run short but the sharp four-year-old was still too good for his rivals, driver Blair Orange staying out of the early burn before heading forward and wresting control of the race. Later in the night debutant three-year-old Crunch Time looked a smart horse when he won courtesy of a 27.8 second last 400m for trainer Hayden Cullen.  View the full article
    • It’s two months to Cambridge’s Night of Champions – and already the night is shaping up as a trans-Tasman classic. The slot holders for both the $1m Race by betcha and the $600,000 TAB Trot on Friday, April 4 were released last night.   While the final make up of the races will depend on form and availability the two races will feature the best pacers and trotters from Australasia. The Race is likely to feature the likes of Leap To Fame, Merlin and Republican Party while Inter Dominion champion The Locomotive, Muscle Mountain and Oscar Bonavena are all set to be among the starters for the Trot. 2025 will be the fourth edition of The Race, with the previous winners being Merlin, Copy That and Self Assured while last year’s TAB Trot was taken out by all conquering Australian Just Believe. The TAB Trot slot holders and possible horses :    Barron Bloodstock/ Oraka Farms – Queen Elida Breckon Racing Syndicate/ Richard Cole/ Odds On Syndicate – Bet N Win Rampant Pty Ltd – The Locomotive Aldebaran Park –  Cullen Breeding – Muscle Mountain All Stars Racing/ Chris Ryder – Oscar Bonavena Harras Des Trotteurs – Club Innovation Slot – The Race by betcha field slot holders and possible horses : Duchess Megxit Racing – Duchess Megxit Montana Park Pty Ltd – Merlin Stonewall Stud Ltd – Rakero Racing – Rakero Rocket Republican Party Syndicate – Republican Party Dennis & Mark Dunford – Solid Earth Pty Ltd – Leap to Fame Matthews Family Racing – Catch A Wave All Stars Racing/ Chris Ryder – Club Innovation Slot – Leap To Fame set to race in NZ By Adam Hamilton After two aborted trips last year, Leap To Fame owner Kevin Seymour has made a defining statement by buying his own slot in the $1m Race. “I’ve said all along we’re very keen to race him in NZ and now’s the time,” Seymour said. “We thought very seriously about the Cambridge race last year and we were obviously booked to go to the NZ Cup before his setback. “It’s a missing piece. It’s something we want and really need to do with him. “We’re in no rush to retire him, but he’s six now and this could be his last full season of racing. He’s right in his prime and it’s a great race for him.” It would also add significantly to Leap To Fame’s stallion value if he could an NZ major to the 11 Group 1 races he has so far won in Australia. “Having been to NZ Cup Week and seen the passion the New Zealanders have for harness racing and great horses, we’re excited at the prospect of showing them our champion in the flesh. “He’s given Kay (Seymour’s wife) and the most amazing ride. He’s the horse we’ve waited 50 years in this great game to find.” Any enquiries to dave@cambridgeraceway.co.nz, or by calling  Dave on 027 202 7778. View the full article
    • You know what, yes I’m having a moan  because this cost me money…. WTF was Wiremu Pinn doing on this horse….3 nags missed the start, one ran off.    WRTH settles just behind leaders in great spot… was counting my dough with the $6.50 I got fixed odds…closed at $3-70… But, turns to crap. The 3 slow runners made ground, instead of moving off rail Pinn thought he would stay on rails… but then in straight thought there’s a heap of runners in the centre of track… let’s try my luck….. winner gone before running 3rd. Ironically if he had gone inside, could have driven a kenworth truck through.  Yep, as I say, is my money talking, luckily bet EW, but it’s hard being a punter knowing that their selection picking was spot on, but the muppet on horse would rather be unlucky.  If I had that horse, wouldn’t ride again
