It’s a busy weekend of harness racing in Tasmania with two race meetings and Duncan Dornauf doesn’t miss a thing on the Harness Highlights podcast.

It was a special night for trainer Ben Yole in Launceston last Sunday night and Duncan chats to the trainer on this week’s show. Ben speaks about the logistics of managing his big team and gives insight into his runners this weekend across Hobart and Devonport.

In harness news, Duncan speaks about the preferred location for the new harness and greyhound track which has been identified as Latrobe in the North West of Tasmania. On the mainland, Tasmania will have strong representation at Melton for the Breeders Crown Series on Saturday night.
