House wins at Omakau and Tauherenikau

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk  

What a time of it the House stable are having right now.

Michael House finished 2025 second in the trainers premiership with a personal best 111 wins behind the record-breaking Steve and Amanda Telfer (171) while son Wilson House claimed his first Junior Drivers premiership with 94 wins, three ahead of Carter Dalgety.

Now there's been further success already in 2026, in both islands. 

At the Central Otago Trotting Park's huge meeting at Omakau today Michael House showed his skills in the sulky by taking out the first in the amateur drivers race with the Mark Jones-trained Bettor Way.

Just minutes later Goorambat Art gave House his second training success for the day at the dual code meeting at Tauherenikau.

Earlier in the programme Koko Kaboom won the opener at the Wairarapa Harness Racing Club meeting.

Both were driven by junior Kate Coppins who had an exceptional day. As well as her two wins she had two seconds, also with House-trained runners, in Big Gee and Million Dollar Chic.
