O'Connor: Zahara impact hits home for Lee after tears of joy
The Keayang Zahara journey is only just beginning, but it’s already proving a pivotal period in Jason Lee’s harness racing career.
O'Connor: Alford to reunite with Zeus, First 4 plan
Champion reinsman Chris Alford will renew his racetrack partnership with globetrotting squaregaiter Aldebaran Zeus when he makes a long-awaited return to Australian racing at Melton tonight.
O'Connor: Boy, he's good... and he's not done yet
The “old marvel” tag is often used loosely in racing circles, thrown out quickly to describe an ageing horse who has been a loyal servant to his or her connections over a prolonged period of time.
But for Victorian harness racing fast class veteran Bulletproof Boy, it’s truly a compliment that hits the mark.
O'Connor: These new sprint races can serve multiple purposes
Harness Racing Victoria’s latest venture into speed contests is certainly exploratory by its nature, so will it broaden the minds of those it aims to attract and also those that put on the show?
O'Connor: Exhibition trial looms between TAB Eureka rivals
Two of the big TAB Eureka players could be set for a little sparring match in their home state of Victoria early next month.
O'Connor: What's with all the fuss? The Captain has this covered
It seems as though much of the discussion about this year’s Chariots of Fire has been about not who will win New South Wales’ great four-year-old showdown, but whether or not any of Captain Ravishing’s rivals can make it difficult for him by crossing the megastar pacer at the start.
O'Connor: ID22 warriors front up again as Cranbourne calls
The toughness, durability and resilience of the standardbred is often lauded right across the racing landscape, and those key attributes are again on show in Saturday night's Group 1 features at Cranbourne.
O'Connor: Kiwi Twist to which queen deserves the Crown
In much simpler times, we’d be having regular discussions about boom horses from New Zealand and whether or not they were set to teach our best a lesson when they arrived in Australia.
With the ongoing COVID-19 battle and very few horses making the trip across the Tasman, these conversations have been few and far between.
But one has emerged in recent weeks and it centers around the three-year-old fillies’ crop.
O'Connor: The rise and rise of the Victorian trotter
I'm not sure how many times I've said this in recent weeks, but how good is the trotting ranks here in Victoria at the moment!?
O'Connor: Medal night success, Vics swoop, Kilmore pays respects
Talk about making the best of a bad situation.
With the highly-anticipated Gordon Rothacker Medal event at Crown Palladium officially lost to the COVID-19 pandemic, attention turned to celebrating our champion horses and participants in the best way possible on Sunday night.
Fans of the sport were encouraged to tune in for the hour-and-a-half virtual production - led superbly by hosts Jason Bonnington and Nikkita Ross - on Harness Racing Victoria's ever-growing channel Trots Vision. And those that did shouldn’t have been disappointed.
