Spikecity 749 Report post Posted June 5, 2018 The only place I can find to watch the video of the race is somewhere where you need to join and pay money - anyone else have a video link to the race? I see he only paid $1.30 to win (the base bet is $2 so all divs need to be halved) RACE 8 - Harrah`s Philadelphia - PA - June 3, 2018 Conditions: The Great Northeast Series Open Gait: Pace Purse: $30,000 Class: Opn Series Distance: 1 mile Track Cond: FT Temp-Allow: 64-0 Off Time: 2:55 PM HN Horse PP 1/4 1/2 3/4 Str Finish Actual LQ Odds Driver Trainer 4 Heaven Rocks A 4 4°/2H 1/1H 1/H 1/3 1/3H 1:50.0 27.1 *0.30 David Miller Ross Croghan 2 Always At My Place 2 5/3H 5°/4Q 3°°/2 2/3 2/3H 1:50.3 27.2 45.20 Corey Callahan Ron Burke 7 Bettor`s Edge 7 3/1H 3°/2T 2°/H 4/4 3/4 1:50.4 28.0 9.30 Andy Miller Jennifer Lappe 3 Theartofconfusion A 3 6/5 6°/5T 5°/3H 6/5 4/5 1:51.0 27.3 20.10 Geo.

Iraklis 2,231 Report post Posted June 6, 2018 All good Spike, hey I knew if I tried really hard I'd get to grips with the USTA site and start gettin know how and where to find stuff, the list of Tracks in US is bloody handy, but you're right alot of their site you have to join or pay etc, we don't know how lucky we are in NZ for our HRNZ site, you can access for 'free' past history race records etc etc and it is a really easy site to navigate around, we on to it here Cheers Iraklis lamour, harewood and Fartoomuch 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikecity 749 Report post Posted June 27, 2018 Found it finally - and was worth the trouble - impressive and he doesn't seem to be goofing around like he use to over here.

Spikecity 749 Report post Posted June 27, 2018 I guess I should have looked at Allstars website first HEAVEN ROCKS already showing his abilities on American tracks, steps up to the big time at Pocono Downs on Saturday (American time) when he contests the $US500,000 Franklin Pace at Pocono Downs on a huge night of harness racing. Heaven Rocks, already the winner of $US93,000 in four starts in the States with a best mile time of 1.49.6 would seem to be in with a real chance in the race, one of two all-aged races with the same stake on the night. He will driven by David Miller and at 4-1 on the morning line from gate 4. Allbetsareoff, a 1.48 performer and winner of two of seven this year is the 3-1 second favourite Heaven Rocks has two wins and two seconds from his four starts. Nearly all the field have run 1.50 or faster this year while the smart performer Donttellmeagain has a qualifying time of 1.52.8 winning one of four but with Tim Tetrick in the cart The fastest career time in the race belongs to Mcwicket who has clocked 1.48.5 on a 1000m track winning three of his five starts and $US74,000. He is the 5-2 favourite from gate 2 and another to beat though at 12-1 may be Rockin Ron who has won five of 12 this year and over $US226,000 being placed behind the former Kiwi Shartin N in a hot field at his last start. Shartin N has won over $US650,000 and is the leading earner in the US to date. That will change as the big age group races come on stream but other Kiwis are also in the top five earners which suggests Lazarus in top form will give most a fright later on.

Iraklis 2,231 Report post Posted June 27, 2018 Spike mate, I reckon he hasn't got time too goof orf, he's put to work from the get go he has to concentrate however if you watch him (his face ears etc) you'll see he is still very much doin it all on raw ability, he's out for a strong workout, when hes put under pressure he just lengthens stride and doin it easy, that long lopin stride is a killer.....GOOOO!!! The Bloody Rocks!!!! Cheers Iraklis Thejanitor, Fartoomuch and Spikecity 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
