Harness Highlights

Balliang trainer Tyrone Abela has enjoyed a great run recently and snared the 2200 metre Betavet Trotters Handicap at Ballarat on Thursday April 6, with 8Y0 Angus Hall-Dreamscape Aurora mare Madena Sky.

Driven by Chris Alford, Madena Sky stepped cleanly from outside the 10-metre mark and quickly went forward to assume control from polemarker Baltic Spirit which galloped just after the start.

It was a classic Alford drive as Madena Sky defied all challengers to record a 2.5 metre margin from Mercenary which had moved to be one/one at the bell after galloping away from 20-metres.

Myrtle Vale (barrier two) after trailing the winner was third 3.7 metres back. The mile rate 2-05.8.
