The two biggest stories in harness racing right now would have to be:
# 1: Ride High’s track record at Bendigo on Saturday night, where he put in a display that some fans are calling the performance as, “the greatest they have ever seen in the Southern Hemisphere”.
…and
# 2: The 2020 APG National Mixed Sale which is an event the sport desperately needs which lovers of this code can access online at http://www.ardex.com.au/apgonlineauctions/default.aspx and throw their support behind this wonderful concept.
What’s also fascinating is how closely linked the two biggest stories are in the sport right now.
Ride High is from the very successful and closely held U302 family that Peter Gleeson and others have had such phenomenal success with. Investors looking at going to the next level with their band of broodmares will be delighted to see we have four very special lots from this truly remarkable U302 family available in the 2020 APG National Mixed Sale.
Three of the four lots: Lot 69, Lot 151, Lot 176 are all closely related, with Lot 131 from a sightly different branch of the same U302 family. Below is a quick look at successful horses that relate to the Lots above.
