Goulburn Harness Racing

The Goulburn Harness Racing Club will host a small but interesting six race program on Monday afternoon with the first race scheduled to start at 2.03pm.

Under the ongoing Covid-19 conditions, the club regrets the meeting will not be open to the public with only essential persons, trainers and drivers allowed access to the Goulburn Paceway.

With strong representation through last start winners Araignee Flair and Grand Circuit contender Ignatius, the Exeter stables of James Rattray look set to continue its recent good form.

Araignee Flair kicks off the afternoon in the Sun Solutions Goulburn Trotters Mobile. The 5-year-old Yankee Spider mare enjoyed a lovely trail when winning last start, and from gate 5 tomorrow appeals as the likely leader and winner in a field which is very similar to that she defeated in August.

In the last of the day, the Goulburn Soldiers Club Pace star pacer Ignatius continues his path to the $300,000 Victoria Cup in early October.

At the Goulburn meeting in August Ignatius proved far too strong for stable mate Star Major leading throughout in a very good 1:54.4 mile rate.

At Riverina Paceway Wagga earlier this month, Star Major turned the tables on Ignatius when he scored in a track record 1:50.3 mile rate.

On that occasion, Ignatius came from well back, and after suffering interference finish off strongly to be beaten just 6 metres.

In tomorrow’s race, Ignatius appeals as the likely leader and winner from gate 4.
