She came from last at the 400 meter mark and paced around the half mile (800m) track in 1:53.3 for driver Jordan Stratton and trainer Lance Hudson.

She is the daughter of top class mare Millwood Meg, who was the winner of 19 races and earned over $415,000 while racing in New Zealand and Australia. The former Malcolm Shinn trained six-year-old mare Seaswift Joy N (Bettor's Delight - Swift Belle - Christian Cullen), driven by Tim Tetrick, wet a super good race in the $250,000 Milton Stakes at Woodbine Mohawk Raceway on Saturday running third to Caviat Ally, driven by the former Australian Andrew McCarthy, in 1:48.3.

None Bettor A is flying in North America. Down Under bred and formerly raced harness racing pacer None Bettor is showing his class as he excels in the North American pacing ranks. He was seen winning the $100,000 Great Northeast Series Final in a time of 2:20.1 for the 2000m (mile rate of 1:51.6). A scorching time. He held of late challenges from Backstreet Shadow to be victorious by three quarters of a length. None Bettor was driven to victory by Geo. Napolitano Jr, and trained by Andrew Harris. He has had a faultless season so far winning 11 of his 15 starts, with 4 other placings. He is yet to be out of the money, so far earning just short of $320,000 this season. The son of Bettor's Delight was formerly trained and raced in Australia by Donny Smith, where he was the winner of 16 races and over $90,000 in stake money. None Bettor A winning the $100,000 Great Northeast Series Final   Down Under duo do it again. Bettor's Wish and Dexter Dunn win the $250,000 Kentucky Sires Stakes 3yo Colts and Geldings final. The brilliant son of Bettor's Delight was too good for his field, as he successfully paced the mile in 1:48.1, with Dexter Dunn steering him home and Chris Ryder doing the training. Bettor's Wish and Dexter Dunn win the $250,000 Kentucky Sires Stakes Final The Ryder/Dunn combination is proving a very successful pair as of late with the 3yo colt earning over $1.1m in 2019 and holding a seasons best time of 1:47.4. With his season consisting of 13 starts for 9 wins and 4 seconds. Simply faultless. Chris Ryder is having a good run of late as he is a co-owner (with the legendary Roy Purdon, MBE) in up and coming New Zealand trotter Oscar Bonavena. Auckland Reactor son on fire The Great Buzz continued his great run in North America. The son of Auckland Reactor won his sixth race from just the nine starts since arriving in North America in May this year. Formerly trained by Clark Barron, The Great Buzz showed plenty of promise having eight starts in New Zealand for five placings as a three-year-old. Still only a three-year-old in real terms, The Great Buzz has really excited his new connections  for his future by pacing a fast 1:53.1 mile on the half-mile Saratoga track.   Monday 9th September   Harrington Raceway DE Machamillion N – Time: 1:54.0, Stake: $11,000 Monticello Raceway NY Kamwood Laughter N – Time: 1:56.3, Stake: $5,500 Plainridge Park MA New World Order A – Time: 1:51.4, Stake: $7,500 The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono PA None Bettor A – Time: 2:20.1 (1 ¼ Mile) , Stake: $100,000 Yonkers Raceway NY Shecandance N – Time: 1:54.2, Stake: $16,000 Black Chevron N – Time: 1:53.0, Stake: $20,000   Tuesday 10th September   Harrington Raceway DE Rollin Withholly A – Time: 1:54.2, Stake: $6,000 Monticello Raceway NY Northern Assassin N – Time: 1:55.3, Stake: $5,900 The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono PA Kotare Yarra N – Time: 1:52.0, Stake: $12,500 Sevens Hope A – Time: 1:51.0, Stake: $11,000 Yonkers Raceway NY Brookies Prince N – Time: 1:55.0, Stake: $12,500 My Rona Gold N – Time: 1:54.3, Stake: $12,500 Soho Jackman A – Time: 1:52.3, Stake: $17,000 Catcha Lefty A – Time: 1:52.4, Stake: $12,500 Mister Daytona N – Time: 1:54.0, Stake: $17,000   Wednesday 11th September   Batavia Downs NY Media Queen N – Time: 1:55.3, Stake: $7,300   Thursday 12th September   Hollywood Gaming Dayton Raceway OH Montana Pablo A – Time: 1:54.4, Stake: $4,500 Monticello Raceway NY Back On Board N – Time: 1:58.2, Stake: $3,000 Saratoga Harness NY Bontz N – Time: 1:53.4, Stake: $15,000 Yonkers Raceway NY Mcclinchie N – Time: 1:55.0, Stake: $17,000 January A – Time: 1:55.0, Stake: $17,000   Friday 13th September   Harrah’s Hoosier Park IN Captain Dolmio N – Time: 1:51.3, Stake: $10,000 Harrah’s Philadelphia PA American Empress N – Time: 1:52.2, Stake: $11,000 Yonkers Raceway NY Glenferrie Blade A – Time: 1:53.1, Stake: $20,000 Rockin The Boys A – Time: 1:53.3, Stake: $20,000 Lady Dela Renta N – Time: 1:52.2, Stake: $27,000   Saturday 14th September   Freehold Raceway NJ Soho Lennon A – Time: 1:54.1, Stake: $9,000 Vapour N – Time: 1:53.0, Stake: $6,300 Harrah’s Hoosier Park IN Brilliant Strike N – Time: 1:51.1, Stake: $8,500 Sanna Cruza A – Time: 1:51.0, Stake: $10,000 Northfield Park OH Copper Coast A – Time: 1:53.1, Stake: $10,500 He Can Fly N – Time: 1:53.1, Stake: $11,800 Saratoga Harness NY The Great Buzz N – Time: 1:54.2, Stake: $7,760 The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono PA Anythingforlove A – Time: 1:50.2, Stake: $17,500 Yonkers Raceway NY Gunpowder N – Time: 1:53.4, Stake: $17,000 Rock Diamonds N – Time: 1:51.3, Stake: $42,000 Louis Alberto N – Time: 1:52.4, Stake: $22,000 Down Under First 4 – 2nd Lord Willoughby A, 3rd Macintosh N, 4th Kimani N Alluneedisfaith N – Time: 1:52.4, Stake: $27,000 Down Under Trifecta – 2nd Mach Doro A, 3rd Military Master A   Sunday 15th September   Harrah’s Philadelphia PA Sevens Hope A – Time: 1:51.3, Stake: $12,500 Rosecroft Raceway MD Waikiki Beach A – Time: 1:51.4, Stake: $8,000     Click here for previous weeks articles     by Carter Dalgety
