The Messenger has long been the gateway to pacing greatness in New Zealand but on Friday night it was something else.
It was a reminder of what Australasian harness racing has been missing and what it can be again.
The best version of pacing is when the big boys and girls, often with different form lines, get together and won’t back down. Add an Aussie or two and things get really spicey.
That sums up the NZ$100,000 Dawson Harford Messenger won by Majestic Cruiser at Alexandra Park on Friday.
