New Zealand Cup Day

Harness & Greyhounds

Harness & Greyhounds
Buckle in, 12 races, none worth less than $30k, the Cup worth $1 million a week after the WA Cup (programming issue for WA Cup?), the big trot worth $400k. 

With the WA Cup positioned where it is, we won't see the best of the best ever venturing over.

Fantastic Cup field, all 16 of them with Swayzee favourite after Leap To Fame was scratched. NZ star Merlin one to watch and Better Eclipse ran an enormous race at Kaikoura after missing the start. Marathon watch with 12 races and Just Believe in the $400k trot drawn 2 but a cracker of a field.

Pool sizes will also be on interest.

For any harness person, Cup day at Addington is a bucket list job, I have been fortunate enough albeit some time back. Lord Module forever etched in my mind.

    No gimmicks required for NZ Cup, no pasta, no fireworks just the best Harness Day in the world, best track and a standing start Cup biggest turnover for any code in NZ.

    Best horse and trainer combo in the world Swayzee, I reckon he got passed but if they go another 400m, he wins by 5 lengths. Just believe toyed with them in the Trot. Win pool was around $150k.

    Tremendous win! Standing start? They were all on the move - just like the Hunter Cup. No such thing as a truly standing start anymore. Probably best for punters though.

    Everyone put Jordy in there blackbook, he had Swayzee under pressure friday night and is only a NR 70 rated, has to be a moral next start.

    Just saw the post race after the Interdominion Trot with Greg Sugars and Just Believe. 

    So professional, so humble, not a sign of being a smartarrse or of even a hint of arrogance. Answered the questions with grace and dignity and paid homage to the Lang Family, and the great Trotter Scotch Notch, the last Australian Trotter to win the Dominion Trot.

    Just Believe is a class act and Greg Sugars matches him every step of the way.
