Harness racing trainer Ken Ford holds a strong hand in todays Methven Trotters’ Green Mile, with three representatives in the dash for cash.
The HARAS DES TROTTEURS TROTTERS GREEN MILE has a stake of $15,000 with a $2,000 bonus up for grabs if the national grass track record over one mile of 1:58.6.
Stable star Marcoola is probably the stables best chance of winning the race having been set for the grass feature after almost beating Monbet at Addington on Cup day last month.
The good looking Sundon 4yo horse will be driven in todays feature by Clint Ford who has driven the horse in all of his nine wins to date.
Marcoola had a look at the Methven grass surface last Sunday at the workouts and won under a strangle hold after sitting parked for the last 1000m.

Ken's chances do not end there as he also has Amaretto Sun and Zachary Binx engaged and both have handy records on the grass surface.
Later in the day the pacers also race over the short trip in the METHVEN FOUR SQUARE SUPERMARKET Green mile where the Mark Purdon/Natalie Rasmussen trained Chase The Dream is the red hot favorite to win. A $2000 Bonus will be added to the winning stake if the winner breaks the grass track Mile record of 1.56.5 in that race.
