A nice $60,000 race last friday with Hectorjayjay among others,a desperate attempt to recoup the small deficit remaining for the new owners or a test to see what they have bought ?.Whatever was a nice surprise to see him up against such nice horses and though last was his lot was not really disgraced.
A track record equalling time with him out the back from the start was not a good recipe for any success and it did look to me he was running home behind the pack rather better than I expected.Thought he might tail right out.

#MajorStar got too fierce last start but still ran the quickest last mile in the race. Huge class rise tonight but a place chance only
The comment quickest last mile indicates to me Star seems to be thriving on the racing,big surprise ! Interested to know the time he ran now then !

Star racing at 10pm NZ tonight , M22 R6 MELTON HARNESS (VIC) Melton
MIDDY'S INDUSTRIAL LAVERTON M1-M2 MOBILE PACE ( R6) 1720m $18,000 ,his last start last not without merit as Andy Gath twittered ,

#MajorStar even though he ran last last week his individual times were terrific. Hard from the draw but capable of winning tonight.
Go Star !
Fantastic to see Ideal Belle at the workouts today has run so well,can just imagine the atmosphere there on track surrounding her return.Hope she comes through this well and all bodes well for a successful return to racing soon.

Liked the way Star finished of his race for 5th especially considering the fast last half.He seems to be thriving on this constant racing and in again saturday at Melton. http://www.harness.org.au/fields.cfm?mc ... %20NZ&f=#6
No shortage of good races and stakes over in Auss , would be nice to be in a syndicate over there with a good kiwi horse or two,allot of fun having a horse racing week in week out for an extended period.
Any news anyone on how Ideal Belle has come through that nice workout run ,guess if we see her name at the workouts at the weekend then all will be good.
