Stable Additions
Herbert Harness Racing Stables has bolstered its team with several new arrivals for the new season.
Heading the recruits is Line The Pocket, a regally bred colt by Champion USA shuttle Sire In The Pocket from Nightline. Given time to develop as a youngster, Line The pocket is progressing well and will be seen at the trials in the coming weeks.
Another top bred youngster is Franco Truman, a full brother to our former top class 3yo Franco Tinman, who has made his way to WA for new owners.
Franco Truman has trained down to 2.15 as a yearling and after a spell has arrived in reasonable condition from NZ. He will resume in a week and we will see if he can make the next step and be competitive as a 2yo.
He will join my other 2yo`s Dear Leader, a striking colt from my good mare Universal Alice and Black Ribbon, from Tainui. Both colts are by Armbro Oliver and move very nicely.
Last but not least is Harrisburg, a McArdle 2yo gelding from Pasadena Rose, a half sister to campion racemare Tupelo Rose.
My 3yo`s are Mach 3 gelding BG Three, a last start winner before spelling, and Line The Pocket.
In the 4yo brigade I have Franco Emerger, winner of his last two appearances, and Franco Jaggerman, a full brother to my former top 3yo Franco Jonquill.
Franco Nester heads the 5yo`s, which include Life Story, a good winner for the stable last season, and Delma Courage, winner of 5 races and runner up in 1.55.6.
Old timer Franco Extreme is the only other boarder and he is far from finished winning two of his last three starts, the latest in class record (1.57.5mr 2300m)
With plenty of talent waiting to be unleashed Herbert Harness Racing Stables is looking for a big season and invites new owners to share in the thrill of cheering home their winner.
We have had a frustrating run of placings recently, with Franco Jaggerman (2nd), Franco Emerger (3rd) BG3 (3rd) and then 2 4ths last week at HP in the $20,000 finals.
Sales include 2 wins from durable pacer Drummossie, a strong win by My Bella Mafia at Penrith, a strong 2nd from King Courage at Penrith, and 2nd placings to Earldom at Menangle and Franco Tinman in Perth
