Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Invercargill Harness on Sunday 5 July.  Invercargill Harness Race 1 6 He Aint Fakin It’s all in the first few hundred metres with He Aint Fakin (6). If he can get his way around the first bend and find himself in a rhythm, then he’ll keep pressing on and destroy this field. However, there’s a fair amount of risk with that, so it’s a tread caution approach to start the day.  Selections: 6-5-2-4-3  Invercargill R1 – MCKNIGHT & BROWN HCP TROT Open Race time:  6. He Aint Fakin (6) J: Brad Williamson 11p18T: Phil Williamson 1.85WIN 1.08PLACE Got it wrong last start…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Friday 3 July.  Addington Harness Race 1 10 Harry Belafonte He went out favourite from a horrible draw last time out and wasn’t bad, but things look a lot better for Harry Belafonte this week and he’s paying huge money. Should get the right trip on the markers behind the right kind of horse and with a bit of luck at the right time can be a major each way player here.  Selections: 10-7-11-4-2  Addington R1 – LISTEN LIVE ON SPORTNATION.NZ MBL PACE Open Race time:  10. Harry Belafonte (1) J: Stephen McNally…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Cambridge Harness on Friday 3 July. Cambridge Harness Race 1 1 Cyamate The inside draw here should play a big role in the chances of Cyamate (1). With a bit of early speed gets all the options early on how to play it and you’d imagine the goal will be to stay as close to the speed as possible. Better than some of the recent form and can win this.  Selections: 1-6-8-3-5  Cambridge R1 – DAILY DOUBLE NZ AMATEUR CHAMPS HEAT 1 MBL PACE Open Race time:  1. Cyamate (1) J: Cheree Wigg x6187T: Steve & Amanda Telfer…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Alexandra Park Harness on Friday 26 June.  Alexandra Park Harness Race 1 6 Waltzing With Miki A couple of handy enough fifths in the last two appearances from Waltzing With Miki (6) and both should stack up pretty well here. Has been operated off wider draws than that which is handed down today and capable of making his own luck in this field and getting the better of all challenges. Selections: 6-5-3-2-4  Alexandra Park R1 – ALEX BAR & EATERY SOUTH OF THE BOMBAYS MBL PACE Final Race time:  1st 6. Waltzing With Miki (6) J: Benjamin Butcher…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Friday 26 June.  Addington Harness Race 1 8 Tarragindi Super work to win his last two starts down in the deep south and while stepping into more dangerous territory here tonight, Tarragindi (8) can comfortably lay claim to being the best horse in this field. Stepping well and quickly and should eat up the handicap and be in contention pretty early. Selections: 8-5-7-4-3  Addington R1 – CHESTER’S PLUMBING & BATHROOMS HCP TROT Final Race time:  2nd 8. Tarragindi (8) J: Oliver Kite 1×211T: Phil Williamson 2.35WIN 1.10PLACE For current odds on all…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Winton Harness on Thursday 25 June.  Winton Harness Race 1 3 Classic Skye Prepared to give Classic Skye (3) another chance here with a turn to the mobile arm. It might just be enough to help her find a rhythm a bit quicker than she has been from the stands. No doubting the motor is there and we might get a chance to see it at full bore here. Selections: 3-2-5-6-1  Winton R1 – APPARELMASTER MBL TROT Open Race time:  3. Classic Skye (3) J: Matthew Williamson 44×67T: Matthew Williamson 3.50WIN 1.30PLACE Got it…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Sunday 21 June.  Addington Harness Race 1 5 Art Jordan Led them up and did all but win here last week did Art Jordan (5) but gets another shot at the prize here today and should be primed to take it. Racing well and while he’s never going to win them in a row, he should just keep picking up money and looks a strong each way bet to start the day. Selections: 5-3-7-13-12  Addington R1 Open Race time:  5. Art Jordan (5) J: Carter Dalgety 20052T: Alan Russell 6.00WIN 2.20PLACE…

Matt Markham gives his best in all nine races at Gore Harness on Sunday 21 June.  Gore Harness Race 1 1 Magic Sign Southland warhorse Magic Sign (1) kicks off a new campaign here today and does so fresh up from a new stable too. Now with Craig Ferguson and a sharp Winton workout win last week has all eyes pointing in his direction for a big showing today. Ace draw is a huge plus and only cramps the odds further.  Selections: 1-6-3-4-7  Gore R1 Open Race time:  1. Magic Sign (1) J: Craig Ferguson 8999xT: Craig Ferguson 1.90WIN 1.09PLACE Veteran…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Cambridge Harness on Friday 19 June. Cambridge Harness Race 1 6 Hes Not That Into U Hasn’t had a lot of luck in the last couple of runs up the road has Hes Not That Into U (6) but sneaks south today looking for an easier assignment and gets one. Two back would have almost beaten a very good field with a gap and that kind of effort here should be good enough to win tonight. Selections: 6-4-12-8-9  Cambridge R1 Final Race time:  1st 6. Hes Not That Into U (6) J: Tony Cameron 30148T: Tony Herlihy 2.50WIN 1.35PLACE…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Friday 19 June.  Addington Harness Race 1 9 Tyron Eros Each Way Talented trotter Tyron Eros (9) returns here and steps out for a new stable in Gerard O’Reillys. Really sharp trial at Ashburton last week, showing a bit of his well known high speed. Needs to stay relaxed and not get too keen but good enough to win here first up.  Selections: 9-7-3-5-1  Addington R1 Final Race time:  4th 9. Tyron Eros (9) J: Gerard O’Reilly 4590xT: Gerard O’Reilly 4.80WIN 1.75PLACE For current odds on all of our live…
