Harness Racing Odds: McCarthys Target QPC
October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt’s no secret that the McCarthy stable has had incredible success in recent times in the Queensland Pacing Championships, and they will be targeting the event again this year – it’s well worth considering their prospects in the Racing odds we’ve got for you at the end of the link there…
And what a pair of prospects they are for the 2014 Queensland Pacing Championships. The main hope of success will likely be For A Reason, who’s a real chance in the race, which is one that the McCarthy stable target specifically, according to Luke McCarthy: ‘It’s been a good race to us and we make it our business to win this race every year. This is where we got started and we always love racing in Brisbane, especially in the bigger races and this is the ultimate race to win in Queensland.’
And whilst For A Reason is likely to be understandably popular with punters assessing those Racing odds, look out, too, for newcomer Our Hi Jinx, who’s unbeaten in a couple of starts since making the move over from New Zealand: ‘For A Reason was super last week and his sectionals were outstanding, it was a really encouraging sign heading into our main target during this Brisbane campaign. He missed a fair bit of racing over the winter owing to a cold and he was always going to need some hard racing to bring him up to speed and I think he’s almost ready to perform at his peak. He’s trained on really well and the draw is very handy so I’m happy heading into this weekend. Avonnova is clearly the horse to beat; he’s a beast right now with so much power to match his speed. His effort last week was excellent, he cut the fractions in front himself and looked just as strong at the finish as he did at the start. It’s a credit to Ian (Gurney) with the way he’s managed this horse, he’s got game.’
So there will be some serious competition to the McCarthy dominance of the QPC in 2014, but it’s hardly the first time that’s happened, and the result are in the record books – make sure you’re watching again this year!
