The huge impact Bruce Morgan's brilliant young pacer is having and an ode to Lennytheshark are but a few bites in the next edition of the Harness Racer, which is arriving in mailboxes.
The bi-monthly magazine, which carries Victorian stories as well as key industry voices, can now be subscribed too online, with the creation of www.thetrots.shop.
And the first 50 subscribers at thetrots.shop will receive the August-September edition for free, in addition to the Harness Racer's six editions plus the 2019-20 calendar for only $45.
The August-September edition zeroes in on the highs of the TAB Breeders Crown, with the cover image sharing Stuart McCormick's brilliant picture of driver Kima Frenning, trainer David Aiken and owner Domenic Martello after Wrappers Delight won his Empire Stallions Vicbred Super Series title.
Mr Martello told the Harness Racer "I want a Breeders".
Scribe Lucy McCormick reports on the tremendous impact Bonus Play is having in helping Gordon Rothacker Medalist Bruce Morgan bounce back from illness and the next chapter of Lennytheshark's career, as the pacing great heads to Empire Stallions.
Michael Guerin takes a look at the Kiwi raiders, there is a double-page guide to Inter Dominion activities and HRV's Nikkita Ross sits down for a chat with up and coming trainer Shaun McNaulty in her regular Q&A column.
Plus the magazine delivers columns by Harness Racing Victoria's CEO David Martin, Marketing GM Andrew English and GM of Integrity Brent Fisher, plus veterinary insights and columns featuring the HRV HERO program, Trots Clubs Victoria, Community College Gippsland, Harness Breeders Victoria, Victorian Square Trotters Association, Pony Trots Victoria, SPPHAV and Peter Wharton's comprehensive wrap of the breeding scene.
And then there's the 38-page racing guide to help plan out your August, September and October trots life.
