Describing emerging galloper Sokanon as the best horse he has trained is not a claim Wingatui conditioner Terry Kennedy makes lightly. Kennedy and his wife Debbie have had plenty of gun gallopers through their stable but both agree the Darci Brahma five-year-old deserves top billing. “He’d be the best we’ve had. Debbie has ridden some pretty handy ones but she said he’s the best she’s ridden too,” Kennedy said. “He’s as good as you get. He’s pretty classy.” A winner of three of his five starts, Sokanon goes into Saturday’s…

Republican Party ahead of Chariots Of Fire – “he’s bang-on”
By Adam Hamilton Caretaker trainer Carter Dalgety certainly hasn’t conceded the Saturday’s Chariots Of Fire at Menangle to buzz Aussie pacer Captain Ravishing. Dalgety is buoyed by how well Republican Party has thrived in Australia, along with a potentially tricky draw for Captain Ravishing (1). “I’m really looking forward to the race, to be honest,” he said. Captain Ravishing is a $1.25 favourite with Republican Party third favourite at $11. “Our guy couldn’t be better. He won well here a couple of weeks back and the two weeks between runs…
Tonight’s $200,000 Harness Million shaping up as a beauty

But the evenness of tonight’s $200,000 Harness Million at Cambridge suggest the stars drawn there could still get a fair crack at the first six-figure stake of the harness season. The Harness Million, transferred from a flood-damaged Alexandra Park, shapes as a beauty not only because of the even nature of the field but the fact the two favourites Merlin and Sherlock have drawn the second line. That could…
