Don’t expect anything like a normal standardbred yearling sale when the action kicks off at Karaka today.  

Steven Reid had only one regret when Magic Four produced one of the greatest upsets in harness racing history at Alexandra Park on Saturday night.

Star Kiwi raider Krug’s Chariots Of Fire hopes were dealt a blow when he was beaten on his merits at Menangle last night.

On a night of weird and wonderful happenings Self Assured ensured a return to normal service in the Livamol Sprint to end Harness Millions night.

Sunday will kick-off a busy couple of days for Mark Smolenski.

And then there were two.  2020 New Zealand Cup champion Self Assured has joined southern star Pembrook Playboy as confirmed starters for the brand new "The Race" that will be held at Cambridge on April 14.

The Harness Million night is over,  with the big talking point being Magic Four, paying $101, winning the feature race ahead of hotshots Akuta and Franco Indie.     

Exactly how Pembrook Playboy handles his massive 50m handicap in Saturday’s Riverton Cup is in the hands of the racing gods.

Bob Butt loves it when a plan comes off.
