Bathurst Harness Racing Trainer Bernie Hewitt is optimistic that his two talented four -year -olds our goats (Warrowe Needy) and Royal Cruiser (Dear Lou) have done enough to attract the attention of lock holders for the Tableka of $ 2.1 million that quickly looms up, planned for September 6.
The pair of racet in Queensland in recent months and on Saturday evening in Albion Park they brought their best on the track with explosive versions that have to improve their chances to get a Eureka slot.
Our goat has sustained in jumps and boundaries since he went from the age of racing and he showed his unmistakable sparkle after walking the arm of Poort Five and the curing of exciting fractures to register a 1: 50.3 mile rating for the 1660m trip.
Driven by Nathan Dawson, it was the fourth victory of the gelding in his current Queensland campaign and the 12th in his 45-start career.
Royal Cruiser was equally impressive, his driver Brendan Barnes took comparable tactics to Dawson to lead from Gate Two and the clock to break during the 2138m trip, rating 1: 51.9, which was only three hundredth of a second outdoor jump to Fame’s Trackrecord.
In an interview with Greg Hayes about the Harness Racing New South Wales’ award -winning Podcast ‘The Sprint Lane’, Hewitt spoke enthusiastically about the way in which both pacers acquitted themselves and confirmed that they would soon return home and forge a path to bet the Eureka.
“They both went great in Brisbane on Saturday night, and they hold their shape nicely while they are on their way to a possible start in the Eureka,” said Hewitt.
“I came home from Queensland, but my wife Cath stayed with them there.
“Nathan Dawson rode our goat and Brendan Barnes was at Royal Cruiser, and both boys were full of praise for the efforts of each horse.
“We will just try to place them on each other on menangle in the coming weeks and see what is happening.
“I think lock holders can do much worse than they both look at.”
