Down Under harness racing driver wins 4 races at The Meadowlands early in his North American driving career. Todd McCarthy had a night to remember on Saturday night when driving at The Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey. He steered home 4 winners from his full book of 13 drives on the night. McCarthy’s quick success in the states should be no surprise to anyone that has watched him drive in Sydney, Australia, where he was the top driver at Menangle Park for the last five years. His first win of the night came aboard the Katricia Adams trained A Major Omen in 1:52.2. He quickly backed up in the following race with Sombodyitreasure who made a mess of rivals to score in 1:49.4 for trainer Andrew Harris. His next win was with former Down Under pacer Flying Even Bettor N for top trainer Tony Alanga. It was a thrilling finish but the Down Under horse and driver came out best in a time of 1:51.2. This race was also a Down Under quinella with Mister Rebbily A finishing in second for Down Under trainer Tahnee Camilleri. McCarthy’s fourth win was with another Down Under pacer in The Bettormack N. The win made it a double for trainer Katricia Adams. McCarthy giving the son of Bettors Delight a beautiful trip throughout to get over top of leaders in 1:50.0 to win. Todd McCarthy also had three other placings on the night. One where he teamed up with Down Under trainer Shane Tritton and another with Down Under pacer Italian Delight N. When reflecting on the night McCarthy said, “I think for anyone in the harness racing industry, you look at America, The Meadowlands is the pinnacle. To crack one tonight and then to get a few more after that, it was pretty awesome.”. When asked how he would compare the American harness racing to the Australian harness racing he said, “The racing here is definitely faster and a little more aggressive, but so far it's been great and I'm really enjoying it." On the Saturday night of racing at the Meadowlands there were 34 Down Under horses racing.   Monday 7th September   Harrahs Philadelphia PA Quick Fun N – Time: 1:53.3, Stake: $12,000 Atomic Blast N – Time: 1:52.3, Stake: $11,200   Harrington Raceway DE Senor Macray A – Time: 1:53.4, Stake: $9,000   Plainridge Park MA Peternity Suit A – Time: 1:50.3, Stake: $15,000   Saratoga Harness NY Lord Willoughby A – Time: 1:53.1, Stake: $4,800   The Meadows PA Blow A Cloud N – Time: 1:53.0, Stake: $5,400   Woodbine Mohawk Park CA Never Mind N – Time: 1:54.1, Stake: $20,000   Tuesday 8th September     Harrington Raceway DE Betterthanamisus N – Time: 1:55.3, Stake: $10,000 Anytime N – Time: 1:52.4, Stake: $13,500 Women In Gold N – Time: 1:57.2, Stake: $10,000   Running Aces Casino & Racetrack MN Quite A Delight N – Time: 1:54.4, Stake: $3,700   Yonkers Raceway NY Kimani N – Time: 1:53.2, Stake: $8,500   Wednesday 9th September     Batavia Downs NY Blacknsweet Adda A – Time: 1:55.1, Stake: $6,000   Harrahs Philadelphia PA She’s Nun Bettor N – Time: 1:52.4, Stake: $12,800 January A – Time: 1:53.3, Stake: $5,600 Shezza Gnp N – Time: 1:52.2, Stake: $6,800   Northfield Park OH Lincs Tiger N – Time: 1:53.2, Stake: $3,400   Ocean Downs MD Our Jerry Lee N – Time: 1:58.3, Stake: $2,600   Yonkers Raceway NY Highview Conall N – Time: 1:54.2, Stake: $8,500 Beltane A – Time: 1:55.1, Stake: $8,500   Waimac Attack N – Time: 1:54.1, Stake: $8,500   Thursday 10th September     Yonkers Raceway NY Miss Irish Rose N – Time: 1:54.0, Stake: $12,500 Soho Leviathan A – Time: 1:54.4, Stake: $12,500 My Ruebe Star N – Time: 1:52.4, Stake: $22,000   Rideau Carleton Raceway CA   Rub Of The Green N – Time: 1:56.1, Stake: $6,000     Friday 11th September       Harrah’s Hoosier Park IN Never Say Never N – Time: 1:50.1, Stake: $18,000   Meadowlands NJ   Eden Paige N – Time: 1:52.3, Stake: $6,000 Dixie Star N – Time: 1:51.0, Stake: $10,000   Scioto Downs OH   Armabluechipboy N – Time: 1:53.4, Stake: $9,000   Grand River Raceway CA   Strong Enough N – Time: 1:57.3, Stake: $6,500   Woodbine Mohawk Park CA Ivana Flybe N – Time: 1:51.0, Stake: $24,000     Saturday 12th September       Batavia Downs NY Polak A – Time: 1:55.2, Stake: $7,000 Harry Hoo N – Time: 1:56.0, Stake: $6,500 Mr Euroman N – Time: 1:53.3, Stake: $8,000   Harrah’s Hoosier Park IN   Late Night Date A – Time: 1:51.0, Stake: $12,500   Meadowlands NJ   Flying Even Bettor  N – Time: 1:51.2, Stake: $14,000 The Bettormack  N – Time: 1:50.0, Stake: $12,500   Running Aces Casino & Racetrack MN   Hoo Nien A – Time: 1:51.3, Stake: $8,500   Scarborough Downs ME   Midnight Dylan N – Time: 1:56.3, Stake: $4,200   Scioto Downs OH   Our Majordan A – Time: 1:49.3, Stake: $17,500 Stars Align A – Time: 1:48.4, Stake: $20,000 Funatthebeach N – Time: 1:51.0, Stake: $9,000   Tioga Downs NY   Bravo Tex N – Time: 1:54.0, Stake: $5,000   Yonkers Raceway NY   Leonidas A – Time: 1:52.3, Stake: $25,000 Down Under Trifecta – 2nd Flamming Flutter N, 3rd Speed Man N   Kawartha Downs CA   Brigadierbronski A – Time: 1:53.0, Stake: $4,900     Sunday 13th September       Harrahs Philadelphia PA Robbie Burns N – Time: 1:52.0, Stake: $8,800 Vettel N – Time: 1:51.2, Stake: $10,000   Northfield Park OH   Supreme Mach N – Time: 1:54.1, Stake: $9,500 Flamboro Downs CA Pembrook Legacy N – Time: 1:53.4, Stake: $8,000   Click here for previous weeks articles   by Carter Dalgety

Superstar Down Under Harness racing driver relocates to North America. Australian driver Todd McCarthy has moved himself to the Northern Hemisphere to pursue his driving career. Todd is very familiar with the North American style of racing with brother Andrew McCarthy being permanently based in the states as a driver and other brother Luke McCarthy has had stints in America. Todd was very quick to kick things off and in his first 4 days of driving he has had 13 drives for 3 winners. Two of those winners were aboard former Down Under horses and the third was for Down Under trainer Nifty Norman.  His first win was at Chester aboard Soho Wallstreet A, a Four Starzzz Shark 8yo who won in 1:51.2 in an $8,800 pace for trainer Tom Shay. This race was a Down Under trifecta with Tact Tate N finishing 2nd and Anythingforlove A in 3rd.  His next win came soon after at Pocono with Marloe Hanover a 3yo Captaintreacherous mare, who paced 1:51.1 to win the $35,000 second division of the Pennsylvania All Stars for Down Under trainer Nifty Norman.  He then finished the week strong on Sunday when we won with Down Under mare Its Mesmerise N (American Ideal) in an $11,200 pace at Pocono in 1:52.0 for trainer Darren Cassar.

Sensation for Down Under harness racing as their pacers get the trifecta in the $172,850 Dorothy Houghton Mares Open. Saturday night at the Meadowlands made history for Down Under harness racing and breeding as we saw Major Occasion A take out the $172,850 Dorothy Houghton Mares Open, with Shartin N and Soho Burning Love A completing the trifecta, making it a trifecta for New Zealand and Australian breeders. Impressive winner, Major Occasion A did it for Down Under trainer Nifty Norman and Down Under driver Dexter Dunn. Major Occasion A and Dexter Dunn trailed the leader throughout the journey and found racing room late to zoom up the inside and win in a blistering mile time of 1:48.1. The daughter of Art Major saluted at odds of 50/1. The successful Down Under trio ran past the Jim King Jr trained pair of champion mare Shartin N who finished 2nd and the in mare in red hot form of Soho Burning Love A who finished 3rd. It was close to the wire but Major Occasion A got the better of a gallant Shartin N who peeling out into the running line from the half mile (800m) to apply pressure to the leader, all while Soho Burning Love A received a lovely drag into the race on Shartins N back, 1 by 1. All mares having every chance.  Dexter Dunn won 3 races on the big night of racing. His first win was with freak trotting mare Manchego who won easily in 1:51.0 in the 3rd leg of the Miss Versality Mares Open for $40,000. Followed by Major Occasion A as mentioned. Then finishing with Franco Totem N who held on to win in a nice 1:50.4, for Down Under Trainer Nifty Norman. Making it a double for him on the night.  Down Under driver Andrew McCarthy also had a very successful night winning 3 races on the card. Starting off with Romona Hill winning the $253,500 Del Miller Memorial for 3yo trotting fillies in 1:50.3. Followed by Reflect With Me in the $194,400 Mistletoe Shalee in 1:49.0 for 3yo pacing fillies. Then Angers Bayama in 1:48.0. All of his winners were trained by Tony Alagna. Also Down Under trainer Tahnee Camilleri recorded a huge win when she trained Dancing Lou to win the $391,300 William R. Haughton Memorial in a sizzling 1:47.2. Overall on the big night of racing at The Meadowlands, Down Under Harness racing’s horses and horse men and women had wins in 8 of the 13 races.  Down Under Pacer so tough in eye opening victory. Our Majordan A proved he is the real deal on Saturday night when he paced a huge winning mile in an absolutely blistering 1:47.3. Driver David Miller looked a passenger out of the starting the gate when the son of Art Major exploded to the lead from the 4 pole to pace an opening quarter in 26.0. He then reached the half mile in 53.2 seconds which had eyes opening. When crossing the line he was described as “Absolutely gigantic” by Meadowlands commentator and he was exactly that by well and truly putting race rivals to the sword. It was Our Majordan A second win from three starts in the US for trainer Virgil Morgan Jr. Monday 13th July   The Downs At Mohegan Sun Pocono PA Drunken Desire A – Time: 1:54.4, Stake: $4,800   The Meadows PA Poacher N – Time: 1:53.1, Stake: $8,000   Yonkers Raceway NY Mister Rebbily A – Time: 1:53.1, Stake: $12,000 The Moonshadow N – Time: 1:54.3, Stake: $13,500   Grand River Raveway CA Toot Toot N – Time: 1:55.1, Stake: $8,500     Tuesday 14th July   Harrington Raceway DE Dibaba N – Time: 1:53.2, Stake: $12,000   The Downs At Mohegan Sun Pocono PA She’s Nun Bettor N – Time: 1:52.1, Stake: $10,400 Atomic Blast N – Time: 1:52.4, Stake: $10,400   Wednesday 15th July   Harrahs Philadelphia PA Tango Dancer N – Time: 1:51.2, Stake: $11,600   Saratoga Harness NY Hereslooknatyou N – Time: 1:54.3, Stake: $3,500 Miss Irish Rose A – Time: 1:53.4, Stake: $8,500 Major Crisis A – Time: 1:55.1, Stake: $3,500   Thursday 16th July   Ocean Downs MD Bettor Rock On N – Time: 1:57.0 Stake: $4,600 Waikiki Beach N – Time: 1:55.3, Stake: $5,700   Plainridge Park MA Paternity Suit A – Time: 1:53.2, Stake: $12,000   Scioto Downs OH Captain Dolmio N – Time: 1:52.2, Stake: $7,500 Black Chevron N – Time: 1:51.4, Stake: $7,500 Pekeson N – Time: 1:51.3, Stake: $11,000   Yonkers Raceway NY Slick Artist A – Time: 1:56.3, Stake: $9,375 My Ruebe Star N – Time: 1:52.3, Stake: $20,250   Woodbine Mohawk Park CA Bettor Trix N – Time: 1:54.4, Stake: $12,000   Friday 17th July   Harrahs Hoosier Park IN Blazen River N – Time: 1:49.4, Stake: $9,500   Harrahs Philadelphia PA Lifeonthebeach A – Time: 1:51.2, Stake: $8,800   Meadowlands NJ Tall Poppy N – Time: 1:52.0, Stake: $9,500 Statement Made A – Time: 1:50.4, Stake: $7,500   Ocean Downs MD Late Mail N – Time: 1:55.0 Stake: $4,250   Plainridge Park MA Sellingthedream N – Time: 1:56.0, Stake: $4,500   Tioga Downs NY The Charging Moa N – Time: 1:52.4, Stake: $8,000   Yonkers Raceway NY Kenrick N – Time: 1:52.2, Stake: $14,250 Statesman N – Time: 1:55.2, Stake: $9,375   Woodbine Mohawk Park CA Major League N – Time: 1:51.0, Stake: $24,000 Bettor Be Donna N – Time: 1:49.3, Stake: $32,000   Saturday 18th July   Buffalo Raceway NY Media Queen N – Time: 1:56.3, Stake: $4,400   Harrahs Hoosier Park IN Liberty Rose N – Time: 1:51.1, Stake: $8,000 Majestic Player A – Time: 1:51.1, Stake: $15,000   Meadowlands NJ Major Occasion A – Time: 1:48.1, Stake: $172,850 Down Under Trifecta – 2nd Shartin N, 3rd Soho Burning Love A Our Majordan A – Time: 1:57.3, Stake: $123,100 Franco Totem N – Time: 1:50.4, Stake: $12,000   Scioto Downs OH Stars Align A – Time: 1:49.4, Stake: $9,000 Messi N – Time: 1:52.3, Stake: $11,000   The Downs At Mohegan Sun Pocono PA Lachie Maguire N – Time: 1:51.4, Stake: $12,800 Highrthananeagle A – Time: 1:51.1, Stake: $8,800   Vernon Downs NY Never Say Never N – Time: 1:52.0, Stake: $4,000 Fcee N – Time: 1:52.3, Stake: $2,400   Sunday 19th July   Harrahs Philadelphia PA Letschasethedream N – Time: 1:52.2, Stake: $12,000 Highview Conall N – Time: 1:54.0, Stake: $8,800 Bill Haley N – Time: 1:50.0, Stake: $14,400   Running Aces Casino & Racetrack MN Major Pocket A – Time: 1:52.1, Stake: $5,200   The Downs At Mohegan Sun Pocono PA Western Secret A – Time: 1:53.1, Stake: $8,800 Crystal Sparkles N – Time: 1:53.0, Stake: $11,200   Rideau Carleton Raceway CA Brigadierbronski A – Time: 1:54.0, Stake: $6,900   Click here for previous weeks articles   by Carter Dalgety

Down Under harness racing horses score a first four home in race 13 at The Meadowlands. Saturday night harness racing saw the huge impact of what Down Under racehorses are having on North American tracks in 2020. Saturday nights racing at the Meadowlands saw five races won by former Down Under horses. The highlight being in race 13 which was taken out by The Devils Own N in 1:49. In behind him was Franco Totem N in second, Jacks Shadow N third and Saying Grace N coming in fourth making it a Down Under First four. But that wasn’t the only Down Under factor in the race. The trainers of the first and second finished runners are the New Zealand born, Kelvin Harrison (Big Red) and Nifty Norman. Plus Dexter Dunn driving Franco Totem N showing that Down Under harness racing people are also the real deal. The Devils Own N is continuing on his successful race career (three wins and a second from just the four starts) that was formerly in New Zealand where he was the winner of four races, nine seconds and six thirds for over $240,000 in stake earnings. A highlight was when he set a New Zealand record as a 2yo, running 2.16.3 (1:52.4 Mile rate) over 1950m at Addington Raceway.  The Devils Own N Down Under mare smashes the clock. Soho Burning Love A turned heads on Friday night at The Meadowlands with her blistering mile win. The 6yo daughter of Auckland Reactor paced a winning mile in 1:48.4. This made her the fastest ever mare bred in Australia. Tim Tetrick bought the mare up to the parked position approaching three quarters and then put pay to Apple Bottom Jeans (30 wins & $968,000) to run away with the victory. Jim King Jr trains the mare and this continues the huge success with Down Under mares. He is the trainer of the fastest mare in history Shartin N, and Bettor Joy N just to name a couple. Before heading to North America, Soho Burning Love A had a successful racing career in Australia, winning 13 races for over $250,000 in stake earnings. Most importantly winning at Group 3 level, and placing at Group level on 5 occasions, three in Group 1 races.

The Down Under combination of Shane and Lauren Tritton lined up their first ever race day starter in the states over the weekend at The Meadowlands. The first horse being Falcon Seelster mare My Ruebe Star N. Jordan Stratton handled the 6yo and worked hard early to find the top end at the half mile, pacing it in a swift 54.3, they then kicked clear at the top of the stretch to win comfortably in 1:50.3 for the mile. A great victory for the stable but it didn’t stop there. Team Tritton then lined up Gods Spirit on Saturday night as the Meadowlands. He was also driven by Jordan Stratton. The pair came off the gait and found the lead just after the quarter pole (26.4) to then lead the rest of the journey. The 6yo gelded son of Tintin In America held on to win in 1:50.1 to give Team Tritton a winning double for the weekend. Gods Spirit N held off challenges from a gallant down under pair of Revolver N and Dexter Dunn who finished second. While racing in Australia My Ruebe Star N won 10 races for just shy of $100,000 in stake earnings, while Gods Spirit N was the winner of 8 races for just over $80,000 in prize money.
