Davis Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I am interested in Race 3 at Melton, 4yo Bonanza. There's some good horses in that race: Invitation Only, Captain Ravishing, and Heza Sun Of Agun all top-liners and capable of winning. Captain Ravishing could be the best of them all. He's definitely a future star. It's going to be a great night of harness action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little Interdominion Champion nearly took out the Hunter Cup as well with 'I Cast No Shadow' doing well for 2nd place , when 'Copy That' had some racing issues and pulled up. Good to see the Aussies breed a nice trotter in 'Just Believe' after years of dominance by the kiwi bred horses in the Trotting Interdominion and the feature trot , the Great Southern Star. Summary though from the results is a win for Brodie , being on the money, in his assertion of the better horses being bred on the kiwi side of the ditch. with a convincing points Win here in the comp and on the track. thanks guys. cheers from Gamma 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
