By Jonny Turner An explosive performance from Love N The Port gave Phil Williamson a perfect weekend before it really got started. The talented trotter returned to his best form for driver Matthew Williamson with an emphatic ten-length demolition of an intermediate grade field in race 3 at Addington on Friday night. Brilliant during the New Zealand Cup Carnival, Love N The Port hadn’t shown his best in three starts after being freshened in January. In his last outing at Addington, the four-year-old ran outwards and showed how trotters can…

Port Pegasus heads Norman’s team
By Jonny Turner Port Pegasus is at the right place to break his run of second placings at Ascot Park on Saturday. The four-year-old will be out to secure a deserved win when he heads a team of eight starters from Brian Norman’s stable. Port Pegasus was nailed late by Top Pocket Chance at Winton in his last outing after running second to his big brother Andy Hall at Ascot Park. Like many of his followers, Norman thinks the trotter deserves a win in race 4. With both of his…

Sundees Son shows his class, again
By Michael Guerin Sprinting has never really been Sundees Son’s strength but he did it well enough to just win another Group 1 in the $100,000 Anzac Cup at Alexandra Park on Friday night. The champion trotter sprung two surprises in the 2200m mobile, first by holding Bolt For Brilliance at the start then by being allowed to dawdle through the middle stages of the race in a 68-second half. That was partly due to the waterlogged Alexandra Park track, also because driver John Dunn decided an easy run wouldn’t…

Boxed to perfection
Punters looking to take a Quaddie at The Meadows on Saturday evening will no doubt be considering taking McInerney one out in the second leg – Race 6 at 8.17pm. Tassie trainer Blake Pursell recently sent McInerney to Victoria for a stint, with the greyhound recording a sizzling Sandown Park victory in 29.24sec two starts ago. “I thought he was capable of running in the 29.30’s at Sandown but when he ran in the 29.20’s it did surprise me,” Pursell said. “I actually think he’s even better suited to The…

Ridden by apprentice jockey Rachel Shred, the son of Smart Missile settled down at the tail of the seven-horse field, before coming wide…
