Alexandra Park double for Ross Paynter

NZHarnessNews

By Michael Guerin Trainer Ross Paynter was left with a feeling of job done after Lady Be Good’s win at Alexandra Park on Friday night but that doesn’t mean the speedy mare can’t get better. The five-year-old trotting mare provided Cambridge trainer Paynter with the first leg of a feature race double when she took out the $20,000 NZB Standardbred Trot before Anditover led most of the way even from a 20m handicap in the main trot, both beautifully-rated by Andre Poutama. Lady Be Good’s win was important because she…

NZTR supports this approach as it will not only ensure the safety of all those working and attending our events, but also provides more certainty for…

‘Quality’ to the fore in Bold Trease

Editor BOAY

Exciting NSW stayer Line Of Quality threw down the gauntlet to his Victorian rivals with a barnstorming last-to-first performance in Friday night’s heats of the Group 1 Bold Trease (715m) at Sandown Park. Line Of Quality contested the second of four heats and after walking out of the boxes he improved into second with a lap to go and careered away in the home straight, romping to an 8.5 length victory in 41.72sec. The winner of 12 from 21, Line Of Quality is trained by Darryl Thomas and raced by…

Lakeview Max set for Sale return

Editor BOAY

Young trainer Luke Whelan couldn’t be happier with injury-plagued talent Lakeview Max ahead of the lightly-raced sprinter’s return to racing at Sale on Sunday night in heats of the Group 3 Provincial Plate (520m). Luke, 21, and the Whelan family have enjoyed a stellar 2021, with Lakeview Walter  winning the G1 Silver Chief and G3 Silver Bullet and litter brother Lakeview Cruiser  running third in the G1 Australian Cup. But it was their ‘cousin’ Lakeview Max, which has frustratingly been restricted to four wins from his five starts and hasn’t been…
