Harness racing trainer Chester Bullock identified his eight-year-old Cool Wharton as a Hobart track specialist a while back so it came as no surprise to him that the gelding was able to win his fourth race at UBET Park on Sunday night.
The win took Cool Wharton's career tally to seven when he flashed home from well back turning for home to score comfortably with talented driver Matthew Howlett in the sulky.
He hit the line over two metres clear of Major Callum with the race leader and well-backed favourite Our Maddys Star four metres away third.
Cool Wharton won a race at St Marys on New Year's Day 2013 but since then he has only been able to win in Hobart.
Cool Wharton has paid an average of $21.20 for his seven wins that all have been well spaced, some as much as eight months apart.
