Josh Jenkins and Mark Purdon.

In my short time as a harness racing fan, I’ve seen no more dominant participant than Mark Purdon - that includes horses, trainers, driver or owners.

For many years before my interest in the trots picked up, Mark has been a leading figure in the sport on both sides of the Tasman, but it was his training partnership with Natalie Rasmussen that saw the All Stars barn become completely and utterly dominant in basically any race they decided to compete in.

Last week, I had the fortune of meeting up with Mark as he takes a break from the sport he has dominated for so long.
