TOP Tassie trainer Todd Rattray would love history to repeat itself. Rattray had “the experience of a lifetime” when he won last year’s $80,000 The Beautide in Hobart with stable star Magician and went on to run slashing fourth in the world’s richest harness race, the $2.1mil TAB Eureka.

Adam Hamilton interviews tas racing expert Duncan Dornauf as the countdown continues to the world’s richest harness race. Dornauf shares exciting insights into The Beautide, where the winner will run in the $2.1m race in Tas Racing’s slot.

TRAINERS Shannon Price and David Moran have joined the $2.1mil TAB Eureka campaigning process for slots with their classy pacers Sure Thing Captain and Captain Hammerhead. It is something we will see a lot more of in coming weeks with the frantic drive to the line for the remaining slots in the race.

ONE-TIME favourite Frankie Ferocious is primed shake-up TAB Eureka betting markets once again at Albion Park on Saturday night. The Chariots Of Fire winner has endured a torrid Queensland Constellations campaign so far, but trainer Jason Grimson expects him to turn it around in the $53,040 Group 3 4YO Championship (2138m).

THE stage is set for history to repeat itself in the $2.1mil TAB Eureka. Last year’s inaugural running of the world’s richest race was won by a four-year-old mare (Encipher) and driven by Luke McCarthy. Today’s confirmation Eye Keep Smiling will race in Wayne Loader’s TAB Eureka slot gives the race great synergy.

Free Thinker’s win in the $207,000 The Hayden secured Racing Queensland’s slot in the world’s richest harness race at Menangle on September 7.

Four-time ARIA Award-winning Aussie singer-songwriter Alex Lloyd is set to take the stage at The TAB Eureka. Lloyd will treat fans to a performance of his renowned hit song "Amazing" just before the race.

FRESH from the biggest win of her career, young Queensland trainer Chantal Turpin would love to ride her luck even further into the world’s richest harness race, the $2.1mil TAB Eureka.

Turpin combined with husband Pete McMullen and their talented four-year-old Wisper a Secret for a powerhouse win in last Saturday night’s $350,000 Group 1 Rising Sun at Albion Park.

THE most flamboyant and high-profile of TAB Eureka slot holders, John Singleton, has changed tack this year.

Singleton and his team of advisors created a qualifying race, dubbed “The Singo”, to choose their slot runner in last year’s inaugural running of the $2.1mil TAB Eureka.

This year they have opted to hand pick a partner, landing on the luckless and very much in-form four-year-old Don Hugo.

A TRACK record breaking display from exciting three-year-old Fighter Command has propelled him into TAB Eureka discussions.

A FEW years back, owner-breeder Peter Gleeson was left wondering what might have been with his then superstar pacer Ride High. Ride High won 16 of his 18 starts from 2018-2020 but was cut down with injury and retired to stud before he got a chance to chase the biggest races.

AUSTRALIA’S most exciting Extreme Sea has been hit by injury and will miss the world’s richest harness race, the $2.1mil TAB Eureka.

In a cruel blow for veteran Goulburn trainer David Hewitt, Extreme Sea didn’t feel right after track work on Thursday morning and a subsequent scan revealed a suspensory ligament injury.

THE boom on lightly raced four-year-old High Above must be something special. The half-brother to former freakish pacer Ride High is kept safe in early markets for the TAB Eureka, despite having raced just four times and not since a Ballarat win on August 18, last year. But the best pointer to his untapped potential comes from rival owners Danny and Jo Zavitsanos.

FANS won’t have to wait too long to see buzz pacer Extreme Sea back at the races. David Hewitt’s four-year-old stormed up the TAB Eureka Power Rankings and betting charts when he thrashed his rivals in last month’s NSW Regional Metro final and repeated the dose in the overall NSW Regional final at Menangle. The times, margins and ease of the wins was breathtaking. “It’s been a big year for him so far, he’s come a long way quickly,” Hewitt said.

CHAMPION trainer Emma Stewart is about to flex her stable muscle in the countdown to the TAB Eureka.

Stewart and co-trainer Clayton Tonkin already have multiple Group 1 winners. The Lost Storm is a confirmed runner in the world’s richest harness racing via the Aaron Bain Racing & Summit Bloodstock slot.

Today TAB announce reigning Chariots of Fire champion Frankie Ferocious will set his sights for the $2.1 million TAB Eureka purse, representing TAB in the Eureka field, on Saturday, 7th September at Club Menangle.

DAVID Moran will forever feel some unfinished business at Menangle. Winning then being stripped of the 2021 Inter Dominion pacing final on Expensive Ego still burns deep. Add to that a couple of second placings in the Miracle Mile – Lochinvar Art (2020) and Expensive Ego (2021) – and Moran feels like he deserves a really big win at Sydney’s home of harness.

ONE of Australia’s most celebrated and loved entertainers, Jessica Mauboy, will be the headline artist performing at the world’s richest harness race, The TAB Eureka, on Saturday 7 September at Club Menangle.
