lamour 673 Report post Posted November 18, 2017 Tremendous drive by Sheree to win win the Dominion. As well as being the first female to win the race she must surely be the youngest driver to win & I imagine on the biggest long shot to win in the history of the race. This is a great story and the powers that be at HRNZ should make every effort to get this story on main stream media. This human interest story is exactly the type of media attention Harness Racing so desperately needs. Well done to the Ken Ford and the whole family. Great to see people without huge resources winning big races. ivanthegreat, Steve Paul, Overcheck and 2 others 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Tomlinson has worked hard to improve her driving skills with frequent trips to Southland and Forbury and her hard work and commitment is paying off. She seems a very personable young woman and just the sort of ambassador the sport needs. One thing I was pleased about over the carnival was the emergence of young talent both human and equine. Young trainers like Mitchell Kerr and Tom Bagrie tasted success while young drivers like Samantha Ottley, Tomlinson and Matt Anderson saluted the judge. Young horses like Chase Auckland, The Fixer, The Dorchester and Ultimate Machete are stars of the future. harewood 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Report post Posted November 18, 2017 Think Sheree is based in Southland rather than Christchurch Was with Murray Brown not sure whether she is still there or Craig Ferguson at the moment. Yes her driving has improved greatly and has been given plenty of opportunities. Great to see the smaller stables win big races rather than seeing certain stables grab all the money.

We're Doomed 4,868 Report post Posted November 18, 2017 I'm amazed how long it took anyone to mention this win on here. I thought it would be big news. It was travelling like the winner a long way out, just needed gaps at the right time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
