Harness Tips

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Invercargill Harness on Thursday 11 June.  Invercargill Harness Race 1 7 Rydgemont’s Heir After a really strong second a fortnight ago, Rydgemont’s Heir (7) steps out here in a field featuring some horses yet to win a race. Cops a 30m handicap for it, but history suggests they are not insurmountable marks to win from. Good beginner, so should get handy enough to be a major player. Selections: 7-1-8-6-5 Invercargill R1 Open Race time:  7. Rydgemont’s Heir (7) J: Nathan Williamson 65352T: Mark Shirley 3.60WIN 1.40PLACE Nice work in harder grades…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Friday 5 June.  Addington Harness Race 1 4 Treasure Cove He looked to have a better field in a lot of trouble last week turning for home but a mistake cost Treasure Cove (4). He can do that from time to time but when he’s on song, he’s a pretty serious horse and it would come as no shock, back behind the mobile tonight, if he came out and dominated this field.  Selections: 4-10–7-5-9  Addington R1 Final Race time:  0th 4. Treasure Cove (4) J: Tim Williams 2×209T: Steve & Amanda Telfer 3.10WIN 1.40PLACE For…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Cambridge Harness on Friday 5 June. Cambridge Harness Race 1 9 Fly High Superb win here last time out by Fly High (9) and while this is a step up in grade there’s no reason why back-to-back victories can’t be obtained. The only runner on the second row so should get off the fence straight away and from there will be close enough to speed throughout to launch an attack. Selections: 9-4-7-6-5  Cambridge R1 Final Race time:  1st 9. Fly High (1) J: Crystal Hackett 04291T: Barry Purdon & Scott Phelan 3.40WIN 1.40PLACE For current odds on all…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Invercargill Harness on Monday 1 June.  Invercargill Harness Race 1 10 Rightazz Has been rocketing home from tricky spots in his last few starts but today might be the day that Rightazz (10) can get home first. Racing super and just needs a little bit of luck and with a nice run through from the second line can become a major player here.  Selections: 10-2-1-11-5  Invercargill R1 Open Race time:  10. Rightazz (2) J: Brad Williamson 47882T: Alister Black 6.00WIN 2.00PLACE Zipped late in his Winton 2nd. Can rough it from this draw. Top…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Ashburton Harness on Sunday 31 May.  Ashburton Harness Race 1 8 Tyron Everest Plenty to like about the debut effort of Tyron Everest (8) at Timaru last weekend. A wee mistake early, but recovered well and found the line with a lot of purpose. The big Ashburton track should really suit and with manners looks the horse to beat.  Selections: 8-2-4-16-15  Ashburton R1 Open Race time:  8. Tyron Everest (8) Scratched: Odds are subject to fluctuation. For current odds on all of our live racing markets, please visit www.tab.co.nz/racing. Data retrieved: 31/05/2026 08:36:57 AM…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Alexandra Park Harness on Friday 29 May.  Alexandra Park Harness Race 1 4 Chanel Noire Tip of The Day A short priced favourite to start the night but given her form this campaign, it’s a price that is justifiable for Chanel Noire (4). She’s quick and from a good draw should land in a nice spot close enough to the speed for her to unleash on them here and deliver.  Selections: 4-2-5-6-7  Alexandra Park R1 Open Race time:  4. Chanel Noire (4) J: Zachary Butcher 35116T: Barry Purdon & Scott Phelan 1.70WIN 1.10PLACE Did a good…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Addington Harness on Friday 29 May.  Addington Harness Race 1 10 Larissa Beaudiene Dropping out of three really strong races to start this campaign, Larissa Beaudiene (10) looks beautifully placed here tonight. Runs in behind Forever Miki, Cinderella Franco and Cath will all have her primed and ready to go as will a quiet trial last week. Needs a little luck from the draw, but with it should be winning.  Selections: 10-9-4-1-2  Addington R1 Open Race time:  10. Larissa Beaudiene (1) J: Ricky May 6×635T: Brendon Hill 3.10WIN 1.45PLACE Quiet 6th at trials since…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Winton Harness on Sunday 24 May.  Winton Harness Race 1 2 Babe On The Beach Form has tapered off a little in the past three or four starts, but today poses a considerable drop back in grade for the talented Babe On The Beach (2). Lands a great draw to work from and an even field to take on. Should be prominent throughout and hard to beat.  Selections: 2-9-6-3-1  Winton R1 Open Race time:  2. Babe On The Beach (2) J: Craig Ferguson 32958T: Craig Ferguson 4.60WIN 1.80PLACE Steady in a harder field last start. Drawn to…

Matt Markham gives his best in all races at Timaru Harness on Sunday 24 May.  Timaru Harness Race 1 4 Help Me A lot to like about the recent efforts of Help Me (4) and the third at Ashburton last time suggested a win isn’t too far away. Best driven for the one cold shot at them which often opens up to luck issues but with any kind of rub of the green here should be the horse to beat.  Selections: 4-5-10-6-2  Timaru R1 Open Race time:  4. Help Me (4) J: Ricky May 61353T: Warren Stapleton 4.50WIN 1.80PLACE Eyecatcher late to secure 3rd at…
