Every week, Harnesslink produces the harness racing ringaround where a group of twenty odd of our leading drivers give us their best tips for the weekend racing.
Results in the main have been good with the odd shocker thrown in but last night at Addington Raceway the tipsters had a night to remember.
The drivers selected horses in seven races last night at Addington and bagged five winners which is a great strike rate.
In started in the first when Gavin Smith selected Paris Princess who led form go to whoa and returned a healthy dividend of $6:60
Blair Orange was the next tipster to see the winners circle with the very talented Southern GNP who was backed in very short but never gave his supporters any cause for concern with an effortless victory.
Onto race 6 and Mark Jones was very bullish around the chances of Franco Harrington and the way he cruised to the front and ran away and hid in the home straight showed that his confidence was not misplaced.
In race 8, North Canterbury trainer/driver Robbie Holmes had two horses involved in the race and he was very keen on the chances of Clean Break with Gavin Smith in the bike even from the outside of the gate, with Robbie taking the reins on the stablemate Tehoro Holly.
The win dividend of $8:70 for Clean Break was a great return for the inform trotter.
As happens, the best was saved for last.
Three of our tipsters chose their best drives of the week in race 9 last night.
Ricky May, John Dunn and Bob Butt were all keen on the chances of their runners and as it turned out none of them were far off the mark.
John Dunn worked to the lead on Mr Meddle with Bob Butt settling in the trail with Justalittlebettor and Ricky May and Change The Rulz snookered away four back on the inner.
John got away with a couple of cheap quarters in front with Mr Meddle which left enough in the tank to fight off all the challengers in the home straight.
Ricky May and Change The Rulz flashed late for an unlucky second just in front of Justalittlebettor and Bob Butt who held third.
Mr Meddle paid $10:90 for the win with the quinella paying $15:30 and the trifecta a healthy $185:20
Throw in the double result of Clean Break and Mr Meddle of $49:50 and followers of the ringaround should have made plenty last night.
